Trump Delivers Fiery UN Address, Blasting Global Migration and Climate Policies

Donald Trump delivered a scathing address to the United Nations General Assembly in New York, launching sharp criticisms at global migration and climate policies while also questioning the UN’s fundamental purpose and effectiveness. The wide-ranging speech, lasting almost an hour, marked his first appearance before the body since commencing his second term.

Trump declared it was time to end the “failed experiment of open borders,” accusing the UN of “funding an assault on western countries” by offering cash support to asylum seekers. He singled out Europe, claiming it was in “serious trouble” over migration, and falsely asserted that London sought to adopt Sharia law, drawing criticism from London Mayor Sadiq Khan’s spokesperson who called his remarks “appalling and bigoted.”

On climate change, Trump reiterated his denial, branding it the “greatest con job ever perpetrated on the world” and refuting the efficacy of renewable energy. He called for a complete rejection of the “entire globalist concept” that asks industrialized nations to inflict economic pain upon themselves, a stance that drew gasps and visible head-shaking from delegates, contrasting sharply with the overwhelming scientific consensus on human-caused climate change.

Beyond these contentious points, Trump claimed to have halted “seven wars” since returning to the White House, criticizing the UN for its perceived failure to assist. He also touched on current conflicts, advocating for a ceasefire in Gaza but opposing the recognition of a Palestinian state, which he deemed a “reward” for Hamas. Furthermore, he expressed embarrassment over European nations purchasing oil and gas from Russia despite opposing its invasion of Ukraine, stating the war was “making Russia look bad.”

Despite the largely muted but visibly uncomfortable reaction from delegates, Trump later posted on Truth Social that his speech was “very well received.” Following his address, he held his first meeting of his second term with UN Secretary General Antonio Guterres, affirming US commitment to the UN despite occasional disagreements. Trump is also scheduled to meet with Ukrainian President Volodomyr Zelensky and officials from several Middle Eastern countries, including Qatar, Saudi Arabia, and Egypt, before hosting a reception for world leaders.
