UNGA: Donald Trump appreciates India's efforts to lift people out of poverty

New York, Sept 26 (IBNS): US President Donald Trump has appreciated India's efforts in lifting several of its citizens out of poverty.

Addressing at the 73rd session of the UN General Assembly, Donald Trump said: "There is India, a free society (of) over a billion people, successfully lifting countless millions out of poverty and into the middle class."

Taking the podium of the United Nations General Assembly, the world Organization that embodies greater global cooperation, United States President Donald Trump told scores of Heads of State and Government on Tuesday that his country rejects the ideology of globalism, both generally and in relation to international justice and the migration crisis.

“America is governed by Americans,” he said on the opening day of the Assembly’s annual General Debate. “We reject the ideology of globalism, and we embrace the doctrine of patriotism. Around the world, responsible nations must defend against threats to sovereignty not just from global governance, but also from other, new forms of coercion and domination.”

At the same time, he reiterated the US commitment to making the UN more effective and accountable. “I have said many times that the United Nations has unlimited potential,” he declared.
