TRUMP: “I DON’T NEED INTERNATIONAL LAW - MY OWN MORALITY IS THE ONLY LIMIT ON MY POWER” In a New York Times interview, Trump said the only constraint on his ability to use military force globally is his own judgment. “My own morality. My own mind. It's the only thing that can stop me. I don't need international law. I'm not looking to hurt people." Pressed on whether his administration must follow international law, he said "I do," but added "it depends what your definition of international law is," making clear he'd be the one deciding when it applies. The comments came as Trump threatened military action against multiple countries and extracted the U.S. from dozens of international organizations. Source: New York Times
