Overview

• President Trump labeled a halted escalator, a teleprompter outage and weak hall acoustics as sabotage and called for arrests on Truth Social.
• UN spokesperson Stéphane Dujarric said the teleprompter used for Trump’s address was brought and operated by the White House.
• A UN review found the escalator stopped when a built-in safety mechanism was triggered, possibly by a cameraman from the U.S. delegation.
• A UN diplomat explained that speeches in the General Assembly are meant to be heard clearly via headphone interpretation, which can make the room sound quiet without headsets.
• Trump urged investigations; Focus reports the Secret Service is looking into the episodes and he asked the UN to preserve surveillance footage.
