On the 22nd, U.S. President Donald Trump addressed the 81st Session of the United Nations General Assembly. Emphasizing 'America First,' Trump highlighted the global and Western Hemisphere expansion of U.S. military and economic power while sharply criticizing multilateral bodies like the UN, accusing them of being inefficient and bogged down by bureaucracy. In contrast, he asserted that the United States has taken decisive action in conflicts worldwide, outlining the latest strategic roadmap for international security, regional politics, and frontier technologies. His speech drew polarized international reactions: several Middle Eastern and allied nations voiced support for his results-oriented approach to problem-solving, whereas delegations from Europe, Cuba, and Iran expressed discontent and lodged protests against his 'America First' unilateralism, threats to annihilate other nations, and criticism of the multilateral system.

Addressing regional security and geopolitics, Trump issued an ultimatum to Iran, demanding that allies impose comprehensive economic isolation on Tehran and warning that failure to reach a deal would result in the 'complete annihilation' of the Iranian regime. He also predicted that the Russia-Ukraine war would conclude sooner than expected, noting ongoing collaboration with both sides and the signing of legislation authorizing punitive tariffs on Russia and nations purchasing Russian energy. Furthermore, he highlighted a historic security pact signed with Denmark and Greenland, under which the U.S. military will establish two major military bases in Greenland to secure total dominance over Arctic defense and bolster NATO security.

Reaffirming the Monroe Doctrine, Trump stressed that the United States holds geostrategic primacy in the Western Hemisphere, stating that no 'foreign hostile power' will be permitted to establish a foothold or expand influence in the region. To reshape the hemispheric order, alongside military operations in Venezuela and the securing of up to 65 billion barrels of oil resources, he pledged an intensified crackdown on Cuban transnational drug cartels. Regarding international competition in AI, Trump redefined Artificial Intelligence as 'Superintelligence' (SI), vehemently opposing international regulatory frameworks and asserting that the United States must maintain unrestricted and absolute supremacy in its technological rivalry with China.

This address not only resets the strategic trajectory of future U.S. foreign and military policy, but also sends shockwaves through the post-war multilateral order—positioning the United States not merely as an ally, but as the center of the world: its leader and rule-maker.
