Former United Nations Amb. Nikki Haley said President Joe Biden 'ignored' threats to the United States in his U.N. General Assembly address where he didn't mention Russia or China by name.

In a slight to China, Biden name-dropped the country's Xinjiang region - where large numbers of Uyghur Muslims are being kept in detention camps.
'We all must call out and condemn the targeting and oppression of racial, ethnic and religious minorities,' Biden said.
Biden did mention Iran and talk about denuclearization of the Korean peninsula - signaling to Iran and North Korea that the door was open for negotiations.
