it substantially to military protection from now on. we are not going to put up with that. these horrible prices much longer reliance on a single foreign supplier can leave a nation vulnerable to extortion and intimidation that is why we can gradually. european states such as poland for leading the construction of a baltic pipeline so that nations are not dependent on russia to meet their energy needs germany will become totally dependent on russian energy if it does not immediately change course. here in the western hemisphere we are committed to maintaining our independence from the encroachment of expansion foreign powers. it has been the formal policy of our country

since president monro. that we reject the interference of foreign nations in this hemisphere and in our own affairs. the united states has recently strengthened laws to better screen foreign investments in our country for national security threats. and we welcome cooperation with countries in this region and around the world that wish to do the same you need to do it for your own protection. the united states is also working with partners in latin america to confront threats to sovereignty from uncontrolled migration tolerance for human struggling. and human smuggling and trafficking. is not you mane it's

a horrible thing that's going on at levels that nobody is ever seen before it's very very cruel. and illegal immigration funds criminal networks ruthless gangs and the flow of deadly drugs illegal immigration exploits vulnerable populations hurts hardworking citizens and has produced a vicious cycle of crime violence and poverty. only by upholding national borders. destroying criminal gangs can we break this cycle in the stablish a real foundation for prosperity. we recognize the right of every nation in this room to set its own immigration policy in accordance with its national interests. just as we ask other countries to respect our own right to do the same which we are

doing that is one reason the united states will not participate in the new global compact on migration migration should not be governed by an international body unaccountable to our own citizens ultimately the only long term solution to the migration crisis is to help people build more hopeful futures in their home countries make. they are countries great again. currently we are witnessing. a human tragedy. as an example in venezuela. more than two million people have fled the anguish inflicted by the socialist maduro regime and its cuban sponsors

not long ago venezuela was one of the richest countries on earth. today socialism has bankrupted the oil rich nation and driven its people into abject poverty. virtually everywhere socialism or communism has been tried it has produced suffering corruption and decay. socialism's thirst for power leads to expansion incursion and no pressure in. all nations of the world should resist socialism and the misery that it brings us to everyone. in that spirit we has the nations gathered here to join us in calling for the restoration of democracy in venezuela. today we are announcing additional sanctions against.

the repressive regime targeting matures inner circle and close advisors we are grateful for all of the work the united nations does around the world to help people build better lives. for themselves and their families the united states is the world's largest giver. in the world by far of foreign aid but few give anything to us. that is why we are taking a hard look at us foreign assistance. that will be headed up by secretary of state mike. we will examine what is working what is not working and whether the countries who receive our dollars and our protection also have our interests at heart. moving forward

we are only going to give foreign aid to those who respect us and frankly are our friends. and we expect other countries to pay their fair share for the cost of their defense. the united states is committed to making the united nations more effective and accountable i have said many times that the united nations has unlimited potential. as part of our reform effort i have told our negotiators that the united states will not pay more than twenty five percent of the un peacekeeping budget this will encourage other countries to step up get involved and also share in this very large bird. and we are working to shift more of our funding from assessed contributions to

voluntary so that we can target american resources to the programs with the best record of success only when each of us does our part and contributes our share. can we realize the un's highest as parade is. we must pursue peace without fear hope without despair and security without apology looking around this hall where so much history has transpired. we think of the many before us who have come here to address the challenges of their nations and of their times and their thoughts turn to the same question that ran through all their speeches and resolutions through every word and every hope. it is the question of what kind of world will we leave
