Rudyard Griffiths and Sean Speer discuss President Trump's controversial address to the UN General Assembly and its implications for U.S. foreign policy. They examine the contradictions in Trump's approach, with him criticizing European allies while claiming to pursue "America First" isolationism, yet simultaneously telling other countries how to organize their domestic affairs. They also explore how this chaotic U.S. leadership creates opportunities for competitors like China to expand their influence among middle powers and how Prime Minister Carney's UN performance reflects a nostalgia of Canadian foreign policy that is far gone.
