Theresa May has used her address at the United Nations General Assembly to urge world leaders to spurn nationalism and step up efforts to preserve the multilateral rules-based world order. Her comments were in marked contrast to President Trump’s address, in which he rejected globalism and pledged to protect American interests. May warned that "aggressive nationalism" threatened to undermine international order, and suggested that trends from the last century such as the rise of fascism were resurfacing in Europe and elsewhere.
