Trump Rejects “Misguided” UN Arms Treaty.
US President Donald Trump speaks during the National Rifle Association Annual Meeting on April 26, 2019, at Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis, Indiana.President Donald Trump announced Friday that the United States would not abide by a UN treaty aimed at regulating the global arms trade, calling it “misguided” and encroachment on US sovereignty.
“We will never surrender American sovereignty to anyone,” Trump said in a speech to the National Rifle Association in Indianapolis. “We will never allow foreign bureaucrats to trample on your Second Amendment freedom,” he said, referring to the constitutional right to bear arms.“I am officially announcing today that the United States will be revoking the effect of America’s signature from this badly misguided treatment . We’re taking our signature back.
While 130 countries originally signed the treaty, only 101 have ratified and joined it. Those include major powers like France, Germany and the United Kingdom.In a statement, the White House said the treaty “fails to truly address the problem of irresponsible arms transfers, while providing a platform for those who would seek to constrain our ability to sell arms to our allies and partners.”
