Trump begins first UN remarks by mentioning his nearby building

President Trump began his first comments at the United Nations as commander in chief by mentioning one of his buildings near the U.N. headquarters.

After thanking the audience, Trump went on to explain the “potential” he saw in the building project, which sits across the street.

The Trump World Tower is a residential skyscraper in Midtown Manhattan.

Trump went on to thank U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations Nikki Haley both for her introduction and for the role she has played as U.N. envoy.
