"Fox News anchor Maria Bartiromo lamented that President Donald Trump's troubles with the escalator at the United Nations could have been a massive, massive issue and called for answers while omitting the statement a UN spokesman had already released on the matter. Trump and First Lady Melania Trump were at the UN building Tuesday, where the president would deliver an hour-long speech to the UN General Assembly that lambasted other member nations and included a number of false claims that were swiftly fact-checked."
"the escalator problem was caused when a videographer who was accompanying the U.S. delegation ran ahead of the president and accidentally set off a stop mechanism safety device at the top of the elevator. Dujarric stated that the UN's escalator technician was on site and was able to reset the escalator as soon as the [U.S.] delegation had climbed up to the second floor."
President Donald Trump and First Lady Melania Trump arrived at the United Nations where an escalator abruptly stopped after they stepped on it, briefly converting the moving stairs into stationary steps. A UN spokesman said a videographer accompanying the U.S. delegation ran ahead and accidentally triggered a stop mechanism safety device at the escalator's top, and a UN technician reset the escalator promptly; a machine readout confirmed the comb-step safety mechanism activation. During the president's speech the teleprompter malfunctioned; an AP-sourced UN official attributed teleprompter faults to the White House because the White House operated it. White House officials demanded investigations and the president posted calls for inquiries despite the UN explanation.
