Buttigieg takes shot at Trump: 'I am very nervous about how the US is going to look at the UN General Assembly'

South Bend, Ind., Mayor Pete Buttigieg on Monday said he was "nervous" about how the U.S. would appear before the United Nations ahead of President Trump's appearance before the General Assembly meeting in New York City.

Buttigieg compared Trump to a child during his remarks, and suggested the U.S. would not provide leadership at the UN under the Republican president.

"Having seen what happened to us at the G-7 where the American president was basically patted on the head and told to go enjoy himself while the grownups sat down to talk about climate change, I am very nervous about how the U.S. is going to look at the U.N. General Assembly that is going to convene right here in the United States," Buttigieg said in an address to supporters in Iowa Falls.

"Will it be one more time where the seat for U.S. leadership is empty? Or are we going to demonstrate that we're a country that keeps its word and is prepared to lead, " he continued. "At the end of the day, you can either resent the rest of the world or you can lead the rest of the world, but you can't do both."
