President Donald Trump addressed the United Nations General Assembly on Tuesday. Watch his remarks.
In his speech, Trump asserted American sovereignty and rejected "global governance, control and domination."
Trump said at the U.N. General Assembly he honors the right of every nation to pursue its own customs, beliefs and traditions. He said the United States will never tell other nations how to live, work or worship.
But Trump said the United States expects other nations to "honor America's sovereignty in return."
On Wednesday, Trump will chair for the first time a meeting of the U.N. Security Council on the topic of counter-proliferation.
The four days of choreographed foreign affairs stand in contrast to wild twists and disorder in domestic politics, highlighted by the controversy over Trump's Supreme Court nominee, Brett Kavanaugh.
