Trump’s UN General Assembly Speech Full of Fire — Blasts Almost All Allies
On September 23, U.S. President Donald Trump delivered a fiery speech at the 80th United Nations General Assembly (UNGA) held at the UN headquarters in New York. Due to a malfunctioning teleprompter, Trump improvised his remarks on the spot. In addition to boasting about his achievements, he expressed strong dissatisfaction with the United Nations and European countries. He criticized the UN for being all talk and no action, accused its push to recognize Palestine as a reward for terrorists, dismissed green energy and climate change as a scam, and called out certain European countries for helping Ukraine fight Russia while simultaneously purchasing oil from Russia.
After the event, Trump took to Truth Social to accuse the UN of deliberately sabotaging him, citing incidents such as an escalator suddenly stopping and the teleprompter and audio system malfunctioning. He used the opportunity to mock the UN, saying, “No wonder it has never fulfilled the duties it was founded to perform.”
On September 24, California Governor Gavin Newsom reacted strongly to Trump’s claim that climate change is a hoax, stressing that such a view should not be normalized. Newsom is considered a potential Democratic candidate for the 2028 presidential election. California has been increasingly affected by natural disasters linked to climate change in recent years, prompting him to criticize Trump’s actions over the past eight months toward the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), including shutting down climate change research units and revoking California’s authority to regulate vehicle emissions under the Clean Air Act.
