Address: America Is Leading the World
September 27, 2014
Hi, everybody. American
leadership is the one constant in an uncertain world. That was true this week,
as we mobilized the world to confront some of our most urgent challenges.
America is leading the world in
the fight to degrade and ultimately destroy the terrorist group known as ISIL.
On Monday, our brave men and women in uniform began air strikes against ISIL
targets in Syria. And they weren’t alone. I made it clear that America would
act as part of a broad coalition, and we were joined in this action by friends
and partners, including Arab nations. At the United Nations in New York, I
worked to build more support for this coalition; to cut off terrorist
financing; and to stop the flow of foreign fighters into and out of that
region. And in my address to the UN, I challenged the world – especially Muslim
communities – to reject the ideology of violent extremism, and to do more to
tap the extraordinary potential of their young people.
America is leading the effort to
rally the world against Russian aggression in Ukraine. Along with our allies,
we will support the people of Ukraine as they develop their democracy and
economy. And this week, I called upon even more nations to join us on the right
side of history.
America is leading the fight to
contain and combat the Ebola epidemic in West Africa. We’re deploying our
doctors and scientists – supported by our military – to help corral the
outbreak and pursue new treatments. From the United Kingdom and Germany to
France and Senegal, other nations are stepping up their efforts, too, sending
money, supplies, and personnel. And we will continue to rally other countries
to join us in making concrete commitments to fight this disease, and enhance
global health security for the long-term.
America is engaging more partners
and allies than ever to confront the growing threat of climate change before
it’s too late. We’re doing our part, and helping developing nations do theirs.
At home, we’ve invested in clean energy, cut carbon pollution, and created new
jobs in the process. Abroad, our climate assistance now reaches more than 120
nations. And on Tuesday, I called on every nation – developed and developing
alike – to join us in this effort for the sake of future generations.
The people of the world look to
us to lead. And we welcome that responsibility. We are heirs to a proud legacy
of freedom. And as we showed the world this week, we are prepared to do what is
necessary to secure that legacy for generations to come.
Thanks, and have a great weekend. |
