Question of the Week

This week at the United Nations General Assembly, world leaders addressed a host of issues, including the Paris climate accord, the Iran nuclear deal, and North Korea’s intensifying nuclear threats. We asked what you’d like to see President Trump focus on achieving at the gathering. Here’s what you said:

Susan Peeples hoped he would make some big changes in rhetoric and focus on “reducing conflict with North Korea but not with threats. There have to be ways to invite and make it possible for North Korea to adopt a less combative world view as a way if making itself safe, and providing a better life for the people.”

Sharon Scafuri thought Trump should set his sights on getting out of the Iran deal: “Our foreign policy has been one of appeasement. It hasn't worked historically and it won't work now. We need to get tough.”

Finally, Kathleen Nussbaum suggested that the world’s leaders should focus their efforts on “getting adequate aid to victims of famine...in Somalia, South Sudan, Nigeria, Yemen and several other places.”

Thanks to everyone who submitted responses, and stay tuned for next week’s Question of the Week.
