Obama Takes Dispute With Trump Into His Final Speech to UN

Obama’s speech in New York was a defense of globalism and an attack on authoritarians, tribalists and populists in which he never mentioned the Republican vying to succeed him in office.

But the subtext was impossible to miss, and could also be interpreted as a criticism of the U.K.’s decision this year to exit from the European Union.
