the united states has launched a campaign of economic pressure. to deny the regime the funds it needs to advance its bloody agenda. last month we began reimposing hard hitting nuclear sanctions that have been lifted. under the iran deal. additional sanctions will resume nov fifth and more will follow and we are working with countries that importer raney in crude oil. to cut their purchases substantially. we cannot allow the world's leading sponsor of terrorism. to possess the planet's most dangerous weapons. we cannot allow a regime that chance death to america and that threatens israel with annihilation to possess the means to deliver a nuclear warhead. to any city on earth. just can't do it.

we ask all nations to isolate iran's regime. as long as its aggression continues. and we ask all nations to support iran's people as they struggle to reclaim. their religious and righteous destiny. this year we also took another significant step forward in the middle east in recognition of every severin state. to determine its own capital i move the u.s. embassy in israel to jerusalem. the united states is committed to a future of peace and stability in the region including peace between the israelis and the palestinians. that aim is advanced. not harm

by acknowledging the obvious facts. america's policy of principled realism means we will not be held hostage to old dog. discredited idea elegies and so-called experts who have been proven wrong over the years time. and time again. this is true not only in matters of peace. but in matters of prosperity. we believe that trade must be fair and reciprocal. the united states will not be taken advantage of any longer. for decades the united states opened its economy. the largest by far on earth with few conditions we allowed foreign goods from all over the world to flow freely across our borders

yet other countries did not grant us fair and reciprocal access to their markets in return. even worse some countries abuse their openness to dump their products subsidize their goods target our industries. and manipulate their currency is to gain unfair advantage over our country. as a result our trade deficit balloon to nearly eight hundred billion dollars a year. for this reason we are systematically renegotiating. broken and bad trade deals. last month we announced a groundbreaking us mexico trade agreement. and just yesterday i stood with president moon. to announce the success. completion of the brand new us korea

trade deal. and this is just the beginning. many nations in this hall will agree that the world trading system is in dire need of change. for example countries. were admitted to the world trade organization that violate every single principle on which the organisation is based. while the united states and many other nations play by the rules these countries use government run industrial planning and state owned enterprises to rig the system in their favor. they engage in relentless product dumping. forced. technology transfer and the theft of intellectual property. the united states lost over three million manufacturing jobs nearly

a quarter of all steel. and sixty thousand factories efter china joined the w t m. and we have racked up thirteen trillion dollars in trade deficits. over the last two decades. but those days are over. we will no longer tolerate such abuse we will not allow our workers to be victimized our companies to be cheated. and our wealth to be plundered and transferred. america will never apologize for protecting its citizens. the united states has just announced tariffs on another two hundred billion dollars in chinese made goods for a total so far of two hundred fifty billion dollars. i have great respect and affection for my friend president xi. but i have made clear our trade imbalance is

just not acceptable. china's market distortions. and the way they deal. cannot be tolerated. as my administration has demonstrated america will always act in our national interests i spoke before this body last year and warned that the un human rights council had become a grave embarrassment to this institution. shielding egregious human rights abuses while bashing america. and its many friends. our ambassador. to the united nations nikki haley. laid out a clear agenda for reform. but despite reported and repeated warnings. no action at all. it was taken.

so the united states took the only responsible course we withdrew from the human rights council. and we will not return until real reform is an act. for similar reasons the united states will provide no support and recognition to the international criminal court. as far as america is concerned the i.c.c. has no jurisdiction no legitimacy and no authority. the i.c.c. plains near universal jurisdiction over the citizens of every country. violating all principles of justice fairness and due process. we will never surrender america's sovereignty to an unelected unaccountable global bureaucracy. america is governed by america. we reject the ideology of

globalism and we embrace the doctrine of patriotism. around the world responsible nations must defend against threats to sovereignty not just from global governance but also from other new forms of coercion and domination. in america we believe strongly in energy secured for ourselves and for our allies. we have become the largest energy producer. anywhere on the face of the earth. the united states stands ready to export our abundant affordable supply of oil clean coal and natural gas. opec. and opec nations are as usual ripping off the rest of the world.

and i don't like it. nobody should like it. we defended many of these nations for nothing. and then they take advantage of us by giving us high oil prices not good. we want them to stop raising prices we want them to start lowering prices and they must contribute 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 graduate. the 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 far.
