An escalator carrying President Donald Trump and First Lady Melania Trump malfunctioned at the United Nations headquarters. The sudden stop forced the couple to walk up the stalled machine before the President’s scheduled address.
White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt demanded an immediate investigation. She suggested the incident might have been intentional, citing a report about UN staffers joking about disrupting Trump’s arrival. On Fox News, she stated there must be accountability if it was sabotage.
The U.S. Secret Service is also reviewing the matter. This response reflects the heightened tensions surrounding the event.
