US President Donald Trump delivered a blistering nearly hour-long address at the United Nations General Assembly, taking direct aim at the UN, global climate policy, and Europe’s handling of immigration and energy.
His remarks, laced with sharp criticism, drew both applause from his supporters and unease among many world leaders present.
Trump did not hold back on climate change, which he dismissed as “the greatest con job ever perpetrated on the world.”
He accused the UN and other multilateral bodies of pushing what he called a “false green agenda,” claiming it has weakened economies and placed unnecessary burdens on nations. “All of these predictions made by the United Nations and many others, often for bad reasons, were wrong,” Trump charged. “If you don’t get away from this green scam, your country is going to fail.”
Shifting his focus to Europe, the former U.S. president painted a grim picture of what he described as a “double-tailed monster” the twin challenges of mass immigration and aggressive green energy policies. “I love Europe, and I hate to see it being devastated by energy and immigration,” he declared. “You’re doing it because you want to be nice… and you’re destroying your heritage.”
He criticized European leaders for what he called the “globalist migration agenda,” urging them to abandon what he described as “the failed experiment of open borders.”
According to Trump, Europe’s future prosperity and stability hinge on reversing its immigration trends and scaling back commitments to renewable energy transitions that he branded “a fake catastrophe.”
Closing his speech, Trump urged allied nations to “take strong control” of their borders and energy sectors or risk losing both their economic competitiveness and national identity.
