President Donald Trump will tell the UN General Assembly that the US is more powerful and respected than ever, according to CNN sources. He will also claim credit for spreading peace and resolving crises his predecessors avoided. Trump's Tuesday address comes amid falling approval ratings before midterm elections and a war he promised to avoid. CNN notes many allies, including Canada and European nations, are uniting to protect themselves from the unpredictable US. The network reports Trump's belief in his global popularity contradicts opinion polls showing worldwide disdain. His foreign policy reflects his personal style of threats and force, exemplified by his recent musings about bombing Iran.
