“President Trump defended his record as one of tough but necessary choices, casting himself during remarks to the United Nations as a man of action who had made peace, confronted threats, and used power ‘to make America the most powerful country in the world,'” the Wall Street Journal reports.
“Despite continuing wars, Trump made the case on Tuesday that his wielding of U.S. military power and diplomatic pressure has delivered for Americans.”
Said Trump: “While others have talked, I have acted. While others have spoken of peace, I have made peace. While others have ignored threats, I have confronted them.”
Fox News: Trump defends U.S. interventions abroad ahead of “big decision” on Iran: “Settling years of unfinished business.”
