Trump vows to end 'interference' in Western Hemisphere at UN

US President Donald Trump promised to end what he called "external interference" in the Western Hemisphere, threatening to use the US military's "unmatched power" to achieve this goal, during his speech at the UN General Assembly on Tuesday. Trump cited the operation against Nicolás Maduro as proof that threats to the US will no longer be tolerated in the region. He also compared drug cartels to the Islamic State group, stating they "must be killed, exiled, or detained." The speech comes amid a severe crisis for the UN, which Trump has partly fueled by creating a rival international body. He also criticized the International Criminal Court, threatened Iran, and announced an agreement with Denmark for two new US military bases in Greenland.
