Donald Trump addressed the United Nations General Assembly in New York on 23 September, his first appearance there since beginning his second term.
Accompanied by First Lady Melania, the visit was marked by a minor mishap when the UN escalator broke down while they were on it. During his speech, Trump focused on global conflicts, urging Europe to reduce reliance on Russian energy, while also tackling climate change, artificial intelligence, and the crisis in Gaza and Israel.
He accused Hamas of rejecting peace efforts and demanded the release of Israeli hostages, stressing unity against terrorism. Trump, known for past criticism of the UN, joked about its “bad escalator and bad teleprompter,” but concluded with a firm call for international cooperation.
