Trump: ‘I will always put America first’
Trump says that the world needs “strong sovereign nations” to create “a more safe and peaceful future for all people.”
“I will always put America first, just as other leaders should put their countries first,” he says, to the applause of Netanyahu in the audience.
“We expect all nations to respect the interest of their own people and the rights of every other sovereign nation,” he says. “The world is safer when nations are strong, independent and free.”
He adds: “We do not seek to impose our way of life on any one but to let it shine as an example.”
