Washington DC - YRNF Chairman Jason Emert issued the following statement following President Trump speech at the 72nd Session of the United Nations General Assembly:

"President Trump delivered a strong defense of the American created post-World War II international order. His speech exemplified the leadership needed in today's world. Foreign policy starts at home - in every nation. President Trump's America First policy is no different than all other nations' leaders who put their people first. Our obligation is to Americans, but American ideals and exceptionalism should continue to shine as the great beacon of hope to all those who live under the scourge of socialist and communist regimes. America First has never meant America alone and the President re-iterated America's commitment to our allies and the spread of American influence. But, he warned our enemies their belligerence will no longer be tolerated. President Trump has made clear that America is no longer leading from behind and we will once again take the lead in a world seeking 'security, prosperity, and peace'."
