US President Donald Trump has said that he has the authority to carry out military action against all countries of the world, and that his “own morals” are the only limit that can restrain him. “I do not recognise any international law.” In an interview to The New York Times, President Trump made it clear that his decisions are not constrained by international laws. “I am free to take action in any country to protect America’s national security and interests.
“My own morals, my own judgment — this is the only thing that restrains me.” Explaining his position, the US president said that strong measures and military actions help safeguard America’s global interests. Citing the examples of Greenland and Venezuela, he said that by using American power he can strengthen his country’s interests on the global stage.
