and while i speak of the voa, the institutions for which i am most familiar, everything i say applies equally to usagm and the entities that operate under exactly the same legislation and practice. i believe my journalistic career sets me up perfectly to talk about this legislative separation. my career spans nearly 50 years. although in private industry beginning as a student at princeton and i then spent 23 years in "the wall street journal" where i was the second aging correspondent. i've held senior positions including at four other leading news organizations. i'm a two-time pulitzer prize recipient, and i served for nearly a decade on the boards most prizes therefore i think i can say that i have wide experience regarding the u.s. agency for the local media calls the highest standards of professional journalism. voa is america's largest international broadcaster. 100% government-funded, but a bylabylaw operationally indepen. voa news information by radio, television and digital and 47 languages and over 60 countries. in most of voa's markets, voa is the only source of critical ne

for any institution after such a long time. but i mean the overall picture and world affairs is obviously looking pretty battered at the moment and i think that applies to the u.n. especially. obviously the purpose of the u.n. is a vehicle for international corporation is buzzword of multilateral is what does that mean it means it's a place where countries go and they try to work together to achieve a common good so not each country working for its own but to agree there are certain things that are common goods and we try to work towards those and that very idea the whole idea of doing that is being challenged incredibly strongly at the moment by this wave of right wing populism wave of nationalism essentially of various different stripes but it has kind of in common this idea that so well expressed by donald trump of kind of america 1st my country 1st is that compatible with the united nations for a movie scene an incredible kind of clash between the trump ideal and the united nations joining the trump presidency with him pulling out of the paris climate of course you know the deal to tackle climate change that was negotiated as part of the u.n. sys
