Not just this, Trump went on to criticise the UN, stating that the two things he got from the UN are “a bad escalator and a bad teleprompter”.
Trump is now making headlines across the globe due to his bold statements. Here we have compiled all such fiery remarks of Donald Trump which includes his dig at Russian President Vladimir Putin, India, China and other fellow countries.
His speech was of around an hour-long and was mostly self-congratulatory. He was heard praising his second-term achievements as US President. He also criticised the neighbouring countries leaders and said that these countries were “going to hell."
Here are the highlights of Donald Trump's speech in 10 points.
Criticising UN, Donald Trump at the United Nations General Assembly, accused the organization of failing to address increasing conflicts and immigration problems. He stated that just by making hollow promises "war issue will not be resolved. He asked, "What is the purpose of the United Nations? ... It has such tremendous potential, but it's not even trying to meet the expectations.
The US President also linked India, China to the war in Ukraine by staing that both the countries are primary funders of war by “continuing to purchase Russian oil.” Further speaking about using tariffs to stop the Ukraine war, he stated, “a very strong round of powerful tariffs… would stop the bloodshed, I believe, very quickly”.
Donald Trump warned that European countries should stop buying energy from Moscow, staing that NATO allies are "financing a war against themselves" by not cutting off Russian oil and gas.
Trump also criticised the immigration policies of other countries. He accused the United Nations of "funding an attack on the West" due to inadequate migration controls and warned that the fabric of the West was being destroyed. He further said, "If you don't stop people you've never seen before, people you have nothing in common with, your country will fail."
Trump criticised previous predictions warning related to climate change. He said climate change is "the biggest hoax the world has ever seen."
Trump criticized the UN for its teleprompter and escalator during his visit to the United Nations headquarters. He faced the first issue when he and his wife boarded an escalator, which suddenly stopped. The second incident occurred during his speech to the United Nations General Assembly, when Trump's teleprompter malfunctioned. Trump publicly expressed his displeasure, saying, "The only escalator I received from the United Nations stopped midway up." He joked that whoever was operating the teleprompter was "in big trouble."
During his speech, Donald Trump, reiterated that his claims of ending seven wars and also expressed wish to be awarded with a Nobel Peace Prize. He said, “Everyone says that I should get the Nobel Prize, but for me, the real prize will be the sons and daughters who live to grow up because millions of people are no longer being killed in endless wars.”
Trump also addressed Russia's war in Ukraine, once again threatening to impose "very strong tariffs" on Moscow if Russian President Vladimir Putin does not come to the table to end the conflict.
It is to be noted that Trump's stand on the Ukraine war was noted to be quite different after his speech. In his speech, Trump reiterated his usual view on the Ukraine war, but later announced a dramatic shift in his stand on the conflict. He met with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky and stated that he now believes Ukraine, with NATO's help, can recapture all the territories lost to Russia.
The President also targeted long-time US allies who have announced their intention to recognize Palestine as a state at or before the UN General Assembly this year. Trump sharply criticized these efforts. Trump said that doing so would be a huge reward for Hamas terrorists. He said, "This would be a reward for these terrible atrocities.''
