Trump Mocks UN, Says Not Working For Peace

-

During his September 2025 address to the United Nations General Assembly, U.S. President Donald Trump mocked the UN and accused it of not working for peace. He suggested the institution was full of "empty words" that do not solve wars and criticized it for not living up to its potential

“The UN has such tremendous potential. I’ve always said it—it has such tremendous, tremendous potential. But it’s not even coming close to living up to it,” Trump said in an address in which he complained about a broken escalator at the New York headquarters.

Trump stated that the UN "did not even try to help" resolve various conflicts, contrasting this with his own claims of brokering peace deals. He asked, "What is the purpose of the United Nations?".

He repeated his assertions that his diplomatic efforts ended seven "unendable wars," including between India and Pakistan. He contrasted this with the UN's perceived failures, saying, "It's too bad that I had to do these things instead of the United Nations doing them".

In reference to the war between Israel and Hamas, Trump demanded that Hamas release all remaining hostages immediately. He also criticized countries that have formally recognized a Palestinian state, calling it a "reward for these horrible atrocities, including October 7".

Trump accused the UN of "funding an assault on Western countries and their borders" by providing aid to migrants, describing it as "totally unacceptable".

He demanded that European allies immediately cease all energy purchases from Russia, accusing China and India of funding the Ukraine war through their purchases.

Trump began his speech by complaining about a non-working teleprompter and a broken escalator at the UN headquarters, joking that the people responsible were "in big trouble". He also claimed the UN had rejected his earlier bid to renovate the building.

  White House   press secretary   Karoline Leavitt    on Wednesday has criticized  the media, Democrats, and likely some   Republicans   in the House and Senate for trying to “sow chaos” in the White House with their response to the   Signal   text chain debacle. Leavitt was asked by a reporter if she would definitively say that no one would be fired after a journalist was accidentally added to a Signal thread with top U.S. officials discussing military plans. Leavitt said, "What I can say definitively is what I just spoke to the president about, and he continues to have confidence in his  national security team ." Meanwhile, CNN's Collins attempted to ask the press secretary a follow-up question, but was quickly cut off by Leavitt, who called on another reporter in the room.

  President Trump signed an executive order targeting the ticket reselling industry during a signing ceremony from the White House. The new order will allow the Justice Department and Federal Trade Commission to go after the reselling industry, which has used computer bots and algorithms to buy large blocks of tickets and resell them at extremely higher prices.  Musician Kid Rock, who also appeared at the Republican National Convention last July, was present at the signing in the Oval Office.  The president also took several questions from the press, including on the possibility of additional sanctions on Russia, immigration, and tariffs. “I’ve spoken to him over the years about it and it bothers him,” Trump said about Kid Rock during the executive order’s signing. “It bothers a lot of other artists. They go out with a $100 ticket, and it sells for $2,000 the following night.” Trump admitted that he hadn’t known much about price gouging, “but I checked it out, and it is a...
