Trump at UNGA: "We must reject threats to sovereignty – from Ukraine to South China Sea"

U.S. President Donald Trump has called on the United Nations member states to protect the sovereignty of other countries, including Ukraine.

"We must reject threats to sovereignty – from the Ukraine to the South China Sea," he said during the general debate at the United Nations General Assembly (UNGA) on Tuesday, September 19.

"We must uphold respect for law, respect for borders, and respect for culture, and the peaceful engagement these allow," he said.
