Trump opens UN speech with awkward moment, drawing laughter after boasting of accomplishments

President Donald Trump is highlighting US gains under his watch as he opens his address to the U.N. General Assembly — and is getting a laugh.

Trump told leaders from around the world Tuesday the American economy is ‘‘booming like never before’’ and his administration has accomplished more in less than two years than almost any other administration. His boast elicited laughter from the scores of heads of state and delegates in the audience for the speech.

Trump responded by saying, ‘‘I didn’t expect that reaction, but that’s OK.’’

Trump says the U.S. is a ‘‘stronger, safer and richer country’’ than when he took office in January 2017. He says ‘‘we are standing up for America and for the American people, and we are also standing up for the world.’’
