This week, over on the Election Central Web site, the main story explains how President Trump’s United Nation’s speech ratcheted up the tension between the United States and North Korea.
During Donald Trump’s campaign for the presidency last year, he repeatedly criticized the United Nations for being ineffective. He also said that the United States was contributing more than its share of funding to the peacekeeping organization, and that he expected other countries to contribute more. Last Tuesday, he gave his first speech in front of the UN. Rather than encourage peace, Trump’s speech worsened the relationship between the United States and North Korea.
