Macron directly rebuked Trump at the UN General Assembly
"France is proud to be a member of the United Nations." After US President Trump openly belittled the United Nations, French President Macron responded without naming him in his subsequent speech at the General Assembly.
On September 23 local time, the general debate of the 80th session of the United Nations General Assembly opened at the United Nations headquarters in New York, with leaders from many countries speaking at the meeting.
According to foreign media reports such as CNN and AFP, Macron pointed out during his speech that the world is falling apart and that the spirit of cooperation within the United Nations is needed more than ever now.
"We are isolating ourselves. The differences are increasing, which troubles the global order. The world is falling apart, which hinders our ability to jointly resolve major conflicts today and prevents us from addressing global challenges," Macron said.
He said that this era faces the risk of "the survival of the fittest," where a few self-serving people are gaining the upper hand.
"The complexity of the world is not a reason for us to abandon our principles and aspirations," Macron said. "In a way, we are in a contradictory moment, and we need more than ever to restore the spirit of cooperation that prevailed 80 years ago."
