U.S. President Barack Obama on Sept. 20 called for a "course correction" on the current path to global integration, urging the world to reject models of governance that perpetuate economic inequality, intolerance, authoritarianism, and isolationism.
In his final address to the UN General Assembly after nearly eight years in office, Obama said that Russia was seeking to regain “lost glory” through the use of force and warned that interference in its neighbors’ affairs would make it less respected and less secure.
