the united states is not the advocate of any nation, neither is the guardian of any state. in fact, states do not delegate power to attorney to other states and do not give custodianship to others. if the flames of the fires of yemen have spread today, the warmonger should be sought and punished, rather than leveling accusations and grudge against the innocent. saudi arabia will be guaranteed ofwith a termination aggression with yemen rather than inviting foreigners. we are ready to spend our national strength and regional credibility and international authority. the solution for peace in the arabian peninsula, security in the persian gulf, and stability in the middle east, should be sought inside the region rather than outside of it. the issues of the region are bigger and more important than the united states is able to resolve. the united states has failed to resolve the issue in afghanistan, iraq, and syria, and has been the supporter of extremism, talibanism, and daeshism. such a government is clearly unable to resolve more sophisticated issues of today. distinguished

we are aware that many united nations projects have attempted to assert a global right to taxpayer funded abortion on demand right up until the moment of delivery. global bureaucrats have absolutely no business attacking the sovereignty of nations that wish to protect innocent life. like many nations here today, we in america believe that every child born and unborn is a sacred gift from god. there is no circumstance under which the united states will allow international interests to trample on the rights of our citizens, including the right to self-defense. that is why this year i announced that we will never ratify the u.n. arms trade treaty, which would threaten the liberties of law-abiding american citizens. the united states will always uphold our constitutional right to keep and bear arms. we will always uphold our second amendment. the core rights and values america defends today were inscribed in america's founding documents, our nation's founders understood that there will always be those who believe they are entitled to wield power and control over others. tyranny advances under
