President Trump lashed into Iran, calling the Islamic Republic “a malignant tumor that has to be eradicated,” and ripped China’s trade practices in an address to the United Nations General Assembly on Tuesday in which he also decried illegal immigration and abortion while standing up for the rights of LGBTQ people globally.

“One of the greatest threats facing peace-loving nations today is the repressive regime in Iran,” he said.

“The regime’s record of death and destruction is well-known to us all. Not only is Iran the world’s number one state sponsor of terrorism, but Iran’s leaders are fueling the tragic wars in Syria and Yemen.”

Trump then excoriated the nuclear deal that he pulled the US out of.

“I withdrew the United States from the terrible Iran nuclear deal, which has very little time remaining, did not allow inspection of important sites and did not cover ballistic missiles,” he continued.

Trump also touted US sanctions, which have damaged Iran’s economy and sparked retaliatory actions from Tehran, including the attack on Saudi Arabia’s oil industry, according to the US.

“We have implemented severe economic sanctions on the country. Hoping to free itself from sanctions, the regime has escalated its violent and unprovoked aggression. In response to Iran’s recent attack on Saudi Arabia oil facilities, we just imposed the highest level of sanctions on Iran’s central bank and sovereign wealth fund,” he said.

But, he added, the regime must change its behavior.

“For 40 years, the world has listened to Iran’s rulers as they lash out for the problems they created. They conduct ritual chants, ‘Death to America,’ and monstrous anti-Semitism. It’s like a malignant tumor that has to be eradicated.”

Just before he addressed Iran, Trump slammed China’s trade policies, accusing the country of exploiting the United States and vowing to make the relationship more equitable.

“The most important difference in America’s new approach on trade concerns a relationship with China. In 2001, China was admitted to the World Trade Organization. Our leaders then argued this decision would compel China to liberalize its economy and strengthen protections to provide things that were unacceptable to us,” the president said.

But, he added, the deal was a disaster for the US.

“Two decades later, this theory has been tested and proven completely wrong. Not only has China declined to adopt promised reforms, it has embraced an economic model dependent on massive market barriers, heavy state subsidies, currency manipulation, product dumping, forced technology transfers and the theft of intellectual property and also trade secrets on a grand scale,” Trump continued.

“The United States lost 60,000 factories after China entered the WTO. This is happening to other countries all over the globe. The World Trade Organization needs drastic change. The second-largest economy in the world should not be permitted to declare itself a developing country to game the system at others’ expense.”

China has been a frequent target of the president’s complaints, as his trade war has slowed both countries’ economies.

Trump began his address by saying the world is divided between those who want independence and those who thirst for control of others, while stressing the power of the American military.

“The essential divide that runs all around the world, and throughout history, is once again thrown into stark relief. It is the divide between those whose thirst for control [deludes] them into thinking they are destined to rule over others, and those people and nations who want only to rule themselves,” the president said during his speech, which began at 10:15 a.m.

“I have the immense privilege of addressing you today, of an elected leader of a nation that prizes liberty, independence and self-government of all,” he said before talking about increased military spending on his watch.

“The United States, after having spent over $2.5 trillion since my election to rebuild our great military, is also, by far, the world’s most powerful nation. Hopefully, it will never have to use this power,” Trump continued.

“Americans know that in a world where others seek conquest and domination, our nation must be strong in wealth, in might, and in spirit.”

On the America First theme, Trump railed against illegal immigration and vowed he would protect America’s borders.

“One of our most critical challenges is illegal immigration, which undermines prosperity. Mass illegal migration is unfair, unsafe and unsustainable for everyone involved,” he said.

“The receiving countries are burdened with more migrants than they can responsibly accept, and the migrants themselves are exploited, assaulted and abused by vicious coyotes. Nearly one-third of women who make the journey north to our border are sexually assaulted along the way,” Trump declared.

He then slammed activists who he said were encouraging human trafficking.

“Here in the United States, and around the world, there is a growing cottage industry of radical activists and organizations that promote human smuggling. These groups demand erasure of national borders,” he said.

Such activists, he added, are a boon to organized criminal gangs.

“Today, I have a message for those open-border activists, who cloak themselves in the rhetoric of social justice. The policies are not just. Your policies are cruel and evil. You are empowering criminal organizations that prey on innocent men, women and children,” the president said.

He then thanked Mexico for helping cut illegal immigration on the southern border.

“I would like to thank President Lopez Obrador of Mexico for the great cooperation we’re receiving and for right now putting 27,000 troops on our southern border,” he said.

“Mexico is showing us great respect, and I respect them in return. The US [has] taken unprecedented action to stop the flow of illegal immigration.”

And he had a blunt message for would-be asylum seekers: Stay home.

“To anyone crossing the border illegally, listen to these words — do not pay the smugglers. Do not pay the coyotes. Do not put yourself in danger. Do not put your children in danger. If you make it here, you will not be allowed in,” he said.

“As long as I am president of the United States, we will enforce our laws and protect our borders.”

And as part of his administration’s work to defend American values around the world, Trump said, he wants to fully support the LGBTQ community and the rights of women.

“We defend the right of all people to live in dignity. Our nation is working with others to stop criminalizing homosexuality, and we stand in solidarity with LGBTQ people who live in countries that punish, jail or execute based upon sexual orientation,” the president said.

Speaking to the world leaders, Trump said his White House is also “championing the role of women in our societies.”

Trump also told world leaders that improving international relations would make their nations stronger and more prosperous.

“The love of our nations makes the world better for all nations. So, to all the leaders today, join us in the most fulfilling contribution that anyone can make. Lift up your nations and cherish your culture, honor your history, and treasure your citizens, make your country strong and honor the dignity of your people and nothing [is] outside of your reach,” the president said in his concluding remarks.

“When our nations are greater, the futures will be bright, the people will be happier and our partnerships will be stronger. With God’s help, together, we will fight off the enemies and the oppressors of dignity. We will rediscover old truths, unravel old mysteries and make new breakthroughs, and we will find more beautiful friendships and harmony among nations,” the president continued.

“My fellow leaders, the path to peace and … freedom begins at home. Thank you, God bless you, God bless the nations in the world and God bless America.”
