"US president says Secret Service is investigating three very sinister events' at UN headquarters in New York. United States President Donald Trump has demanded an investigation into triple sabotage he claims he suffered during a visit to the United Nations. In a social media post on Wednesday, Trump said he had written a letter to UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres demanding an inquiry into three separate incidents involving an escalator, a teleprompter and sound issues at the international body's New York headquarters."
"In an incident shortly before his speech to the UN General Assembly on Tuesday, Trump and First Lady Melania Trump were forced to walk up an escalator when the stairway came to an abrupt halt moments after they stepped on. Trump appeared to brush off the incident at the time, joking about the escalator and a bad teleprompter during his speech."
"It's amazing that Melania and I didn't fall forward onto the sharp edges of these steel steps, face first. It was only that we were each holding the handrail tightly or, it would have been a disaster, Trump wrote. The incident was absolutely sabotage, Trump said, pointing to an article published in The Sunday Times that said UN staff had previously joked about shutting off escalators to humiliate the US president. The people that did it should be arrested! Trump wrote."
