President Trump spotlighted four countries for praise in his speech to the U.N. General Assembly on Tuesday, as he called for a world of “sovereign and independent nations.”
“Humanity is better because of this beautiful constellation of nations, each very special, each very unique, and each shining brightly and its part of the world,” Trump said.
“There is India, a free society, over a billion people, successfully lifting countless millions out of poverty and into the middle class,” he told world leaders in New York.
“There is Saudi Arabia, where the king and the crown prince are pursuing bold new reforms,” he continued. “There [is] Israel, proudly celebrating its 70th anniversary as a thriving democracy in the Holy Land.”
“In Poland, the great people are standing up for their independence, their security, and their sovereignty,” he continued.
The geographically diverse countries mentioned in the speech each have had their leaders visit Trump at the White House.
