What does President Trump's UN speech tell us about the future of US foreign policy? (David Nakamura)

from TrumpWatch with Jesse Lent · host WBAI 99.5fm, New York City's Pacifica radio station

Much of the mainstream news coverage about President Trump’s second address to the United Nations General Assembly focused on the waves of  laughter heard in the audience of world leaders after he made the claim that he “has accomplished more than almost any administration in the  history of our country.” But, after telling the crowd he “didn’t expect that reaction, but that’s okay,” the President proceeded to lay out a plan for US foreign policy more isolationist than anything seen from the US in decades. On this week’s TrumpWatch, White House reporter David Nakamura of the Washington Post examines the greater significance of what was said in President Trump’s speech and what it means for US foreign policy moving forward.
