New Zealand Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern’s key speech at the UN yesterday focused on the importance of collectivism and cooperation to address global issues.

Although the New Zealand PM did not criticise President Trump, who was openly laughed at by delegates for saying the US rejects the ideology of globalism and accept the doctrine of patriotism, Mrs Arden provided a strong counter argument to the US President’s stance.

Arden states that in the face of isolationism, protectionism, racism, collective international action not only works, but is in the interest of all states.
