Jackson, Ryan[jackson.ryan@epa.gov] POLITICO Tue 9/19/2017 2:21:03 PM BREAKING NEWS: Trump warns against authoritarian regimes in U.N. speech
President Donald Trump warned of "rogue regimes" on Tuesday, speaking before the United Nations General Assembly during what he described as "a time of both immense promise and great peril."
"Terrorists and extremists have gathered strength and spread to every region of the planet. Rogue regimes represented in this body not only support terrorists but threaten other nations and their own people with the most destructive weapons known to humanity," Trump said. "Authority and authoritarian powers seek to collapse the values, the systems and alliances that prevented conflict and tilted the world toward freedom since World War II."
The president touted his administration's success but added that international criminal networks traffic drugs, weapons and people, and threaten America's borders and menace its citizens with new technology.
"To put it simply," he said, "we meet at a time of both immense promise and great peril. It is entirely up to us whether we lift the world to new heights or let it fall into a valley of disrepair."
