Rarely has the UN hall heard a more honest appraisal of the global scene or a stronger vow of resolve to fight threats than President's Trump's first address to the General Assembly on Tuesday.

"In over 30 years in my experience with the UN, I never heard a bolder or more courageous speech," tweeted Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.

...

He noted the "extraordinary opportunity" the world faced, particularly given advances in science and medicine, and said it's "entirely up to us whether we lift the world to new heights."
