Trump at U.N. Pitches Peace Through Force

time.com

President Donald Trump addressed the United Nations General Assembly on Tuesday, outlining a foreign policy doctrine where military force and economic coercion serve as leverage to enable diplomacy, not replace it. Trump cited actions against Iran, Cuba, and Venezuela as examples, claiming credit for resolving eight wars and defending strikes on drug cartels. He framed Iran's choice as a peace deal or "annihilation," while delegates from Iran and Cuba walked out in protest. Experts note the approach's limits, as the Iran conflict remains unresolved and key aspects of the Gaza peace deal are stalled. Analysts suggest the rhetoric is producing diminishing results amid contested claims of success.
