Trump UN speech triggers laughter, then criticism

United States president Donald Trump has drawn laughter, then criticism, in addressing the United Nations General Assembly in New York. His boasts on domestic policy in front of an audience from more than 190 countries triggered the laughter. His continuing tough stance on Iran and his fervently nationalistic approach to many global issues then attracted the criticism.
