In his address at the United Nations, Donald Trump faced a bumpy start due to a malfunctioning teleprompter, humorously stating that the operator was “in big trouble.” Revisiting the UN stage after six years, the US President was greeted with applause but encountered technical glitches early on. Trump quipped about a broken escalator and faulty teleprompter, remarking on the humorous situation.
During his speech, Trump made a bold claim about ending seven wars in seven months, emphasizing the lives saved as a result. He cited conflicts between various nations that he purportedly prevented, including Israel and Iran, India and Pakistan, and Congo and Rwanda. Trump boasted about this achievement, highlighting it as unprecedented and expressing pride in his actions.
Critically, Trump criticized the UN for what he perceived as a lack of support in his foreign policy endeavors. Despite his claims of ending multiple wars, he accused the UN of issuing only strong-worded letters without taking concrete actions to solve conflicts. Trump emphasized the importance of decisive measures over mere rhetoric in achieving peace in war-torn regions.
While addressing the issue of immigration in Europe, Trump urged allies to adopt a stringent approach similar to the US. He advocated for tighter border controls and criticized open border policies, labeling them part of a “globalist migration agenda.” Trump warned European countries about the consequences of unchecked migration and urged them to take immediate action to prevent further deterioration.
In his speech, Trump also reignited his feud with London Mayor Sadiq Khan, labeling him as a “terrible mayor” and linking him to immigration and what he described as Europe’s unsustainable energy policies. He raised concerns about Sharia law without substantiating his claims, warning that embracing such practices could lead to the downfall of Western Europe if not addressed promptly.
