"During his nearly hour-long speech, he framed immigration and "green renewable energy" as destroyers of much of the free world. Speaking on foreign policy, he called for an end to the war in Ukraine - a campaign pledge he said he thought would be easy because of his relationship with Putin - and a ceasefire in Gaza. Trump also warned of the dangers of Iran possessing a nuclear weapon."
"Windmills, cows, domestic crime, real estate, London's Mayor Sadiq Khan and former President Joe Biden seemed to also be on the president's mind, as he went off-script and well over his allotted time. A through-line that's appeared in other administration addresses to international leaders was evident: Trump thinks much of the world must shape up, and follow his lead."
"Trump applauded El Salvador, where the Trump administration has funneled deported Venezuelan migrants, for "the successful and professional job they've done in receiving and jailing so many criminals that entered our country." Applauding plummeting border crossings, Trump declared that his administration had "repelled a colossal invasion" and slammed the "ridiculous open border policy of the Biden administration." He issued a warning: "If you come illegally into the United States, you're going to jail, or you're going back to where you came from, or perhaps even further than that - you know what that means.""
Trump used an almost hour-long UN address to portray immigration and "green renewable energy" as threats to the free world and urged other nations to follow his lead. He called for an end to the war in Ukraine, said his relationship with Putin could ease negotiations, and demanded a ceasefire in Gaza while warning about Iran obtaining nuclear weapons. He praised El Salvador for jailing migrants and touted reduced border crossings, threatening jail or expulsion for illegal entrants. He criticized the United Nations for failing to support his diplomatic efforts and referenced varied domestic and international issues while speaking off-script.
