This transcript captures an address by Donald Trump to the UN General Assembly, delivered without a teleprompter, where he outlines his administration's perceived successes, critiques global institutions, and lays out his foreign policy agenda. Domestically, he claims to have reversed the previous administration's "disasters," citing economic resurgence, record stock markets, defeated inflation, and the implementation of a zero-tolerance immigration policy, resulting in "zero" illegal border crossings for four months.
In foreign policy, Trump asserts renewed American respect and details seven "unendable wars" he claims to have ended in seven months. He also criticizes the UN for its lack of involvement and operational inefficiency. Addressing major geopolitical conflicts, he claims the US destroyed Iran's key nuclear facility, brokering an immediate ceasefire with Israel, and calls for immediate action to stop the war in Gaza and secure the release of all hostages. He also demands European nations cease all energy purchases from Russia to enable effective US tariffs aimed at ending the Ukraine conflict.
Furthermore, he launches strong attacks against globalist migration agendas, accusing the UN of funding an "assault on Western countries," and fiercely dismisses renewable energy, labeling "climate change" as the "greatest conj job ever perpetrated." He concludes by calling for the defense of sovereignty, traditional energy, and strong borders to prevent the "destruction" of the free world.
