President Donald Trump called out “true socialism and communism” in a speech before the U.N. General Assembly, saying they are failed ideologies and bring damage to the world.

“From the Soviet Union to Cuba, to Venezuela, wherever true socialism or communism has been adopted, it has delivered anguish and devastation and failure,” Trump said in his speech at the 72nd U.N. General Assembly on Sept. 19.
