Overview

• In a combative General Assembly speech, Trump told Europeans their countries are "going to hell," urged an end to "open borders," and accused the UN of financing an "invasion" through migrant aid.
• He dismissed climate policy as a "scam" and the carbon footprint concept as a hoax, warning Europe against green energy transitions and promoting fossil‑fuel use.
• On Russia’s war, he urged Europe to immediately halt purchases of Russian energy, labeled China and India key financial backers due to oil imports, and again threatened tougher sanctions on Moscow.
• After meeting Volodymyr Zelensky, he posted that Ukraine could regain its prewar territory and possibly more, pledged to keep supplying arms to NATO for transfer, and drew praise from Zelensky for a "turning point."
• He suggested NATO countries should shoot down Russian aircraft that violate their airspace and repeated a claim that he had ended seven wars, a statement flagged in coverage as erroneous.
