• Trump told delegates the U.N. is “funding an assault” on Western borders, dismissed climate change as a “con job,” and warned European leaders their countries are “going to hell” if they persist with open borders and green energy.
• He blamed China and India for financing Russia’s war by buying Russian oil and warned of a “very strong” new round of U.S. tariffs on Moscow if purchases continue, urging Europe to match any measures.
• On the Middle East, he called for Hamas to release hostages in Gaza and criticized fresh moves by U.S. allies to recognize a Palestinian state as an undue reward for Hamas.

• After Trump blamed venue mishaps, the U.N. said a U.S. videographer likely triggered the escalator stop and the teleprompter operator was from the American delegation, as the U.S. Secret Service disclosed disrupting a plot involving a 100,000‑SIM card farm tied to nation‑state actors.
