Overview

• Trump labeled the incidents a 'triple sabotage' and said he sent a letter to António Guterres seeking an immediate inquiry and preservation of security footage.
• A White House spokesperson said the U.S. Secret Service is reviewing the escalator stoppage, the teleprompter failure and the reported hall audio issue.
• UN statements cite a U.S. delegation videographer likely triggering an escalator safety stop, note that the teleprompter was run by the White House, and describe an interpreter button error for the brief audio mix-up.
• Video shows the escalator halting as the president and first lady stepped on, and Trump said his prompter went 'stone cold dark' early in the speech before it resumed.
• U.S. representative to the UN Michael Waltz said Washington expects swift cooperation and 'decisive action' from UN officials over the failures.
