The collision between the unilateralism under the banner of "America first" and the multilateralism that values equality and cooperation is getting increasingly fierce these days.
During the current session of the UN General Assembly, plenty of UN officials and global political heavyweights voiced their opposition against the US-held unilateralism, expressing their strong will in safeguarding the multilateral trading system.
UN Secretary-General António Guterres said that multilateralism was under fire while the world needed it most. He noted that the world was suffering from trust deficit disorder, and polarization and populism was on the rise in some countries, calling on all countries to promote and support multilateralism.
