Donald Trump a prononcé son premier discours à la tribune de l'ONU le mardi 19 septembre 2017, à New York. L'occasion, pour le président de l'"Amérique d'abord", de se positionner face à une organisation qu'il a maintes fois critiquée. Offensif et contradictoire, le Président américain a à la fois défendu la souveraineté des nations contre le multilatéralisme, et appelé au soutien de l'ONU face aux régimes de la Corée du Nord, de l'Iran et du Venezuela.
US President Donald Trump calls on the European Union to sanction the Maduro regime with regard to the ongoing crisis in Venezuela. The comments came during a press conference with Spanish Prime Minister Mariano Rajoy, just days after President Trump issued a new travel ban that added Venezuela to a list of eight countries cited for poor security and lack of cooperation with US authorities.

In the 4th century BC, the ancient Sanskrit treatise, the Arthashastra, said 'the enemy of my enemy is my friend.' According to Business Insider, Iran and Venezuela may be taking that to heart as their relationship grows ever closer. While the nations are US President Donald Trump's most frequent foreign-policy targets, Iran has been sending oil tankers directly to Venezuela. In September, Secretary of State Mike Pompeo said the US would place more sanctions on Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro. Pompeo accused Maduro's government of working with Tehran 'to flout the UN arms embargo.' US officials say intervening to stop Iranian tankers from reaching Venezuela was an option, raising concerns Trump may seek a confrontation before the election.
