New York (USA), 23 September. (LaPresse) – The UN ‘is just a place where once a year a group of people meet, give speeches and write a lot of letters and statements, but no concrete and important action is taken.’ This was stated by the US Secretary of State in an interview with Fox & Friends, while the General Assembly debate opens at the UN Headquarters with speeches by world leaders. ‘I think it's emblematic of how ineffective the UN has become as an organisation,’ Rubio said, anticipating that in his speech, President Donald Trump ‘will challenge the UN to find its meaning, its purpose and its usefulness as an organisation, because it seems to be failing to do its job.’
