In his first speech before the U.N. General Assembly, President Donald Trump called on world leaders to stand up together against rogue regimes.
“If the righteous many do not confront the wicked few, then evil will triumph. When decent people and nations become bystanders to history, the forces of destruction only gather power and strength,” Trump said in his speech at the U.N. headquarters in New York.
