Statement given to 'press-pool' by White House on

working lunch with Permanent Representatives of the United Nations Security Council

Today, President Donald J. Trump hosted a working lunch with Permanent Representatives of the United Nations Security Council (UNSC) at the White House. The visit coincides with the United States assumption of the Presidency of the UNSC for the month of December and occurred ahead of the 75th anniversary of the founding of the United Nations in 1945. President Trump urged the UNSC Permanent Representatives to work together to address global challenges, from denuclearization of the Korean Peninsula to peace talks in Afghanistan. He also encouraged the Permanent Representatives to take action to confront malign actors threatening global security and prosperity. While the United Nations has tremendous potential, the President reminded the Permanent Representatives that each county must do its part to fulfill the UNSC’s mandate to maintain international peace and security.
