Overview

• In a lengthy General Assembly address, the president told European governments they are "going to hell" unless they end what he called failed "open borders" policies and said the United Nations is "financing an attack" on Western borders by funding migrants.
• He denounced climate action as "the greatest scam" and warned European states that green policies would bankrupt their economies.
• Trump condemned recognition of a Palestinian state, including by France, arguing it "rewards" Hamas, while urging the release of hostages in Gaza.
• On the war in Ukraine, he labeled India and China top financial backers of Russia’s war machine and urged Europeans to halt purchases of Russian energy, again threatening tougher sanctions on Moscow.
• He mocked broken teleprompter and escalator issues, drew a largely silent response in the hall, and attacked London mayor Sadiq Khan, claiming London is seeking to "institute sharia."
