Trump Questions ‘Purpose of the United Nations’ in Combative Address

Trump accused the United Nations of failing to prevent wars and claimed its migration policies amount to an assault on the West, calling for major reforms, officials said.

  • On Tuesday, President Donald Trump delivered a combative address to the United Nations General Assembly, castigating the organization while praising America's turnaround under his leadership.
  • Trump argued the U.N.'s rhetoric falls short, saying it produces stirring but empty statements that do not solve wars and insisting rhetoric alone cannot end conflicts.
  • He urged world leaders to demand the immediate release of hostages in Gaza and said Tuesday that Ukraine can win back all territory lost to Russia, highlighting recent United States military strikes on Venezuela narcotics networks.
  • Christopher Luxon said the U.N. needs serious reform, with Helen Clark calling it the weakest it's been earlier this week, while analysts noted the speech reinforced an America First posture.
  • Trump defended his withdrawal from the Paris Agreement and warned that migration and green-energy policies risk harming Europe, saying, `If you don't stop people that you've never seen before that you have nothing in common with, your country is going to fail.
