At UN, Trump Rebukes Allies on Migration and Energy, Presses Europe to Cut Russian Fuel

His remarks attacked the U.N.’s effectiveness and came as U.S. agents reported foiling a communications plot around the summit.

Overview

  • In an hour-long address, Trump said the United Nations is "funding an assault" on Western borders, urged an end to "open borders," and warned European leaders their countries are "going to hell."
  • He rejected climate action as a "con job," promoted fossil fuels and nuclear power, and warned a "double-tailed monster" of migration and green energy would ruin Europe.
  • On Ukraine, he urged Europe to halt purchases of Russian oil and gas and said the U.S. could levy new tariffs on Moscow, then met with President Volodymyr Zelenskyy on the sidelines.
  • He criticized fresh moves to recognize a Palestinian state as rewarding Hamas and called for the release of all remaining hostages in Gaza.
  • He pledged to pursue an AI-driven verification system for the Biological Weapons Convention, as the Secret Service said it disrupted a SIM-card scheme capable of jamming communications near the U.N.
