Trump Demands Immediate Investigation into Alleged ‘Triple Sabotage’ at UN General Assembly

Former President Donald Trump is demanding a full investigation into what he describes as a “triple sabotage” during his appearance at the United Nations General Assembly (UNGA) earlier this week. The explosive claims, made via Truth Social, allege deliberate technical mishaps — including a stopped escalator, a teleprompter failure, and audio issues — were orchestrated to undermine him.

The controversy unfolded following Trump’s speech on Tuesday, September 23, 2025, in New York. He recounted a series of events starting with an escalator halt while he and former First Lady Melania Trump were ascending, which he called “absolutely sabotage” and linked to prior reports of UN staffers joking about disabling facilities. The UN, however, stated a “built-in safety mechanism” was triggered, possibly by a videographer.

Further grievances include a “stone cold dark” teleprompter at the start of his speech and reports that the auditorium’s sound was “completely off,” preventing world leaders from hearing without interpreters. While the teleprompter eventually functioned, disputes have arisen between the administration and the UN over responsibility for the technical glitches.

In the wake of these incidents, Trump has announced he will send a formal letter to UN leadership, demanding an investigation and the preservation of security footage. The US Secret Service is reportedly involved. US Ambassador to the UN Mike Waltz further amplified the demands on Wednesday, September 24, 2025, sending formal requests to Secretary-General António Guterres for explanations and results of internal UN probes, explicitly stating, “The United States will not tolerate threats to our security or dignity at international forums.” The White House has also called for an immediate probe, raising concerns over intentional actions.
