Trump Returns To The U.N. This Week Facing Growing Unease About U.S. Leadership
A year ago, President Trump was laughed at during his address to the U.N. General Assembly. This year, he'll face an audience of world leaders increasingly unclear about America's role in the world.
President Trump will return to the world's biggest stage this week to address heads of state at a time when U.S. global leadership is seen as waning.
When he takes the stage at the United Nations General Assembly for the third time on Tuesday, Trump is expected to "affirm America's leadership role" and "underscore that America is a positive alternative to authoritarianism," said a senior administration official.
Leaders will be closely watching how he addresses global concerns about the U.S. trade battle with and as confidence in his strategy falters.
