on al-jazeera of the inside story. from iran to palestine oil prices to trade was donald trump speech to the u.n. general assembly advocated nationalism over globalism promotes a policy of america first but does that also mean america alone this is inside story. hello everyone i'm come all santamaria we reject the ideology of globalism and

accept the doctrine of patriotism perhaps not what you would expect from a world leader speaking on the global stage the un general assembly but then donald trump has never been one for convention in a thirty four minute speech the us president made it clear america will look after itself will only give aid to those it considers friends and in his words will always choose independence and cooperation over global governance question is what does that mean for everyone else the world leaders who spoke from the same podium advocating alliances and a joint approach to our world's problems that's how discussion today we will welcome our panel in just a moment but first our diplomatic editor james bays on the speech and the surprising reaction. when president came to the united nations the first of the world leader he met was his french counterpart. he and emmanuelle mccraw embraced warmly then known to get on well something that is

perhaps remarkable when you realize as became clear in their speeches that they have very different visions of the way the world should be run trump's world view is america first with all the other countries also putting their own national interests first to he laid that out in a speech that didn't get off to a good start when his bold claim was met with the gospel of astonishment and then laughter in less than two years my administration has accomplished more than almost any administration in the history of our country. america is souter. didn't expect that reaction but that's how. trump talked about a constellation of strong sovereign independent nations it of course raises the

question of whether the u.s. will give up its moral leadership on issues like human rights america will always choose independence and cooperation over global governance control and domination. i honor the right of every nation in this room to pursue its own customs beliefs and traditions the united states will not tell you how to live or work or worship a couple of hours later and the french president was at the same podium he greeted the world faced crisis but for very different reasons nationalism he said meant that international cooperation was breaking down. new neighbors well there's no need to look too far to see who is to blame they're here in this assembly they're speaking today those responsible are us the leaders of the world it was an impassioned speech he said he didn't believe in the lure of the strongest and he made

a passionate defense of parts of the system the trumpet ministration has either attacked or defunded. and only says yes we shall support those working for peace and humanity you know asco the conscience of the united nations the human rights council the international criminal court unaware for whom we're increasing our support in his speech president trump said his administration will reassess how much money it gives to the u.n. and how much funds it gives in international aid that potentially is setting up a new confrontation for next year president marc ross says he wants to give forty percent more international aid and france is heading the g. seven next year it wants all the members which include the u.s. to give more james zero at the united nations. all right so here's the panel for today we're starting in tehran with ford is that

he is a professor of world studies at the university of tehran in new jersey and steven rogers a member of the donald j. trump for president advisory board also an advisor to the twenty sixth interim campaign and running up the panel in london is a living he is a security and political risk analyst gentlemen thank you for joining us for inside story steven rogers in new jersey i'm going to start with you at the start of the show i put forward this idea of is it america first and does that mean america alone i would like your view on that because whilst everything donald trump said was completely expected most of the other leaders who got up to that podium said something different and i wonder if that's going to end up isolating the united states. well you're correct in saying that it was expected by the world leaders the president has kept his promise to the american people that it would be america first but it will not be america alone the nations in our alliance know that they need us they know that they need our our protection

when it comes to military and they know that they know they need our money the united states of america has paid heavy tolls around the world economically and through blood with regard to protecting countries in times of war so the president is simply saying as he said in his first u.n. speech many years ago that the president of the united states is not the president of the world is the president of america and of iraqis and it's bring you in early on what do you think of what stephen saying they said basically these nations knows that everyone needs the united states but again i go back to the point that the united states seems to be pulling back from elise other countries. ok there are a couple of things to note in terms of of the speech and the direction is the fact that the president came about. being responsible for the actions of the people so what we've seen yesterday and also on on these points

on our nato are clear is is a businessman he comes to the bottom line if an institution or group is basically squandering the money of the u.s. it will stop funding it. it's playing to its base and we've seen that time and again but at the same time he works on on his own logic that america is not there to be not only. if you were of the world but also. the bankroller of filling institutions so that that is not the at all a surprise when it comes to the alliance remember as well that you mentioned the kind of arab nato and think a lot of the commentators are not looking at that so it is not fully against all alliances and what he said about the original nato it's clear that the u.s.

cannot bear all the financial weight and that the other countries have to decide if they want to be part of an alliance they need to up their defense budget so all this. comes in the light of of the speech of yesterday. which shouldn't be a big surprise for the allies but i don't think america will end up alone in this case interesting and you brought up funding we're going to talk more about the funding issue a little bit later in the program for now for it is going to bring you in and start to get in on some of the specific issues you have there in iran was donald trump's well actually what do we have a listen to donald trump first of all this is what he actually had to say when speaking about iran specifically at the general assembly. iran's leaders so k.o.'s. death and destruction. they do not respect their neighbors or borders with the sovereign rights of nations.

instead iran's leaders plunder the nation's resources. to enrich themselves and to spread mayhem across the middle east and far beyond and so that's what he said in his speech and then this is what he actually tweeted the long before arriving at the general assembly despite requests to have no plans to meet the iranian president hassan rouhani maybe someday in the future i'm sure he is an absolutely lovely man for it isn't he what do you make of all of that because i think in the buildup to the general assembly speech we were all thinking wow he's going to hit iran really hard my feeling personally and i'd like to know what you think is that he actually possibly help back a bit. i think his u.n. speech was quite tough on iran the two it was strange as you said people were expecting that he is going to be consistent at least when it comes to.

tehrani and rhetoric but that tweet the last sentence of that to it was surprising if they don't mind that people love how he was talking about the north korean leader and then now he seems to be getting along with mr kim. the sentence that you played i think i can answer that main question of today's program and the main the proper answer i think to the question is that you see a lot of inconsistences when it comes to u.s. fine policy for example the u.s. government accuses iran of not respecting borders but they have been occupying syria for the last number of years without any request from the syrian government in fact in. sort of the sacred image with the syrian government the syrian government has asked the u.s.

to leave syria and its occupation they talk about killing. people in neighboring countries but they have been supporting saudis in their. devastating war against the yemeni people in the last number of years so when you look at that speech at the u.n. you see a lot of inconsistences he talks about sovereignty but then he criticized as opaque countries for selling oil at the price that he doesn't like or he criticizes iran but he gets out of the u.n. security council resolution twenty two thirty one which is the new ffolliott argument without any reason so i think the answer to your main question is the u.s. has this. that consciously i think too good on men it comes to many foreign policy issues steven wright is let's get a reply from you because what fouad says think this untruth there is saying that what we know that the united states pulled out of the iran deal with for example

and all these other nations have decided to stay with it and as foot points out the united states has been doing a lot of what it says iran is doing now well the president's been very consistent with iran's look there i don't believe there's a person on the face of this earth especially in the body of the u.n. that would disagree with the fact that iran exports terrorism we know that iran is responsible for a lot of trouble around the world iran has not contributed anything to any peace process anywhere and if you really take a look at this and this is my view i don't speak for the administration and it is the view of many people that iran doesn't have to look at the united states as their threat the threat to iran is their own people.
