Trump Challenges Global Order in UN Speech, Pushing ‘America First’ Agenda

NEW YORK – President Donald Trump today delivered a highly anticipated address to the United Nations General Assembly, outlining his administration’s ‘America First’ foreign policy and sharply criticizing what he termed ‘globalist institutions’ for significantly decaying the world order. World leaders gathered at the UN headquarters listened intently as Trump defended his second-term achievements and reinforced his skepticism towards multilateralism.

In his remarks, Trump highlighted actions taken since his latest inauguration, including the withdrawal of the U.S. from the World Health Organization and the UN Human Rights Council. He also initiated a comprehensive review of hundreds of intergovernmental organizations to ensure alignment with his administration’s priorities. The President’s speech comes at a particularly volatile period, with intractable conflicts in Gaza, Ukraine, and Sudan, and growing anxieties over emerging AI technology and Trump’s contentious approach to international bodies.

The address also touched upon recent U.S. military actions, including airstrikes on Iranian nuclear facilities in June and recent strikes on alleged drug-smuggling boats in the Caribbean, which have sparked controversy and speculation regarding U.S. intentions in Venezuela. Following his speech, President Trump is scheduled to hold critical one-on-one meetings with UN Secretary-General António Guterres and leaders from Ukraine, Argentina, and the European Union, along with a group meeting involving key Middle Eastern and Asian nations.

Despite his aspirations for a Nobel Peace Prize, Trump faces ongoing challenges in delivering on campaign promises to swiftly resolve the conflicts in Gaza and Ukraine. The General Assembly also serves as a platform for a growing international push for Palestinian statehood recognition, a move the U.S. and Israel vehemently oppose. European leaders and U.S. lawmakers continue to press Trump for stronger action against Russia amid intensified bombardments in Ukraine.
