Trump at UN General Assembly — 'Rocket Man Is on a Suicide Mission' (2017)
In his first UN General Assembly address, Trump delivers a bellicose speech threatening to 'totally destroy North Korea' if forced to defend the US or its allies, referring to Kim Jong Un as 'Rocket Man' on a 'suicide mission.' The speech also repudiates the Iran nuclear deal as 'an embarrassment to the United States' and calls for nations to put their own citizens first. The rhetoric is the most aggressive at the UN since George W. Bush's 'axis of evil' speech and alarms diplomats worldwide.
