"The world could literally end." Key points from Trump's UN speech

Europe is "going to hell," and RUSSIA is facing "serious tariffs." Donald Trump 's warning from the UN General Assembly — in an RBC article.

US President Donald Trump addressed the 80th UN General Assembly, criticizing both the organization itself for its "broken escalator" and inaction in resolving international conflicts, as well as individual member states. His address lasted a record 57 minutes, while speakers are usually given a third of that amount of time. Only former Palestinian leader Yasser Arafat (almost an hour and a half) and former Cuban President Fidel Castro (almost five hours) have spoken longer in the organization's history.

On UN inaction and the "seven wars"

Trump began his speech by criticizing the UN, joking that all he received from the organization was a broken teleprompter and an escalator that stopped as he was heading to the floor to speak. According to the American leader, the UN has done nothing to help him "end seven wars," including those between Armenia and Azerbaijan, Cambodia and Thailand, Israel and Iran, and India and Pakistan. "The UN has enormous potential. But it hasn't even come close to realizing that potential," the American leader said, noting that the organization's activities are limited to mere rhetoric, while action is needed to resolve conflicts. In his view, the UN not only fails to solve the problems it should, but too often "creates new problems."

In his speech, Trump noted that he was working diligently to end the Ukrainian conflict. He said he and Russian leader Vladimir Putin had a "very good" relationship, which he believed could lead to a quick resolution. However, the HEAD of the White House noted that the current situation "doesn't paint Russia in a favorable light." "Everyone thought Russia would win this war in three days, but that didn't happen. This was supposed to be just a small skirmish," Trump remarked.

Speaking at the UN General Assembly, he confirmed his readiness to impose "a very serious and significant package of tariffs" on Russia if it does not agree to a peace deal. However, Trump emphasized that all European countries must join these measures. "It's unforgivable that NATO countries have not cut off their ties to Russian energy resources, which I learned about two weeks ago and was displeased about. <…> Just think about it: they're sponsoring a war against themselves. Who the hell ever heard of such a thing?" the American leader exclaimed indignantly.

He also reiterated that Europe is much closer to the conflict zone than the United States. "Europe has to step up. They can't keep doing what they're doing," the White House chief emphasized. Trump also lashed out at India and CHINA , noting that they are the "main sponsors" of the conflict in Ukraine because they continue to buy Russian weapons.oil .

America's Golden Age

Trump claimed that "four years of radicalism" under his predecessor, Joe Biden, weakened the United States, but now "America's golden age" has returned—with the strongest economy, military, borders, and "friendship and spirit." He claimed that investment in the United States now comes from all corners of the world, and his administration's tariff policy has become a mechanism to protect the American economy, which has suffered from the actions of other countries "ignoring the rules of international trade."

"Europe is going to hell"

The American leader devoted much of his speech to criticizing Europe's migration policy and its Green Deal. "It's time to end the failed experiment with open borders. You must end it now. Your countries are going to hell," Trump said, pointing to the "inappropriate political correctness" of European leaders.

Only El Salvador received praise from the American leader, for the “successful and professional work done in receiving and imprisoning criminals” who entered the United States (the Trump administration had previously paid El Salvador to receive more than 200 Venezuelan migrants).

"I'm the President of the United States, but I'm worried about Europe. I love Europe, I love the people of Europe. And I can't stand to see it devastated by green energy and immigration, this two-tailed monster that destroys everything in its path," Trump continued.

Trump believes the fight against climate change is "the greatest scam ever imposed on the world." He warned that countries investing in projects aimed at reducing their carbon footprints "will fail." "And I'm not saying this to brag, it's the truth. I'm good at making predictions," the White House chief remarked.

Nuclear and biological weapons

Trump called nuclear and biological weapons the most serious danger to the planet. "If we ever use them, the world could literally end. There will be no UN to talk about it, nothing at all," the American leader warned.

He also pointed to "reckless foreign experiments" with biological weapons. He didn't name the specific countries involved, but he did note that such actions contributed to the spread of the pandemic.covid-19 (Trump had previously openly blamed China for this ). "To prevent potential disasters, I am announcing that my administration will lead international efforts to enforce the Biological Weapons Convention by creating a groundbreaking AI-powered verification system you can trust," the American leader noted.

Fight against drug trafficking

Trump specifically praised the White House's decision to strike Venezuelan ships suspected of trafficking drugs to the United States, and emphasized his readiness to do so again. "To every terrorist gangster smuggling drugs into the United States of America, be warned: we will destroy you," Trump said. "That's exactly what we're doing. We have no choice. We cannot allow this to happen," he continued, recalling that the United States had previously designated several drug cartels as Foreign Terrorist Organizations as part of its efforts to stem the flow of illicit drugs into America.

Defense of Christianity

Trump called Christianity the most persecuted religion. "Let's defend religious freedom, including the most persecuted religion on the planet today—Christianity. Let's preserve our sovereignty and cherish the qualities that make each of our countries so special, so incredible, so remarkable," the American leader noted.

On the recognition of Palestine

Separately, in his speech, Trump criticized the decision of several Western countries, including Great Britain and France, to recognize Palestine. He said this encourages the continuation of the conflict. "That would be too great a reward for the Hamas terrorists for their atrocities. It would be a reward for these horrific atrocities, including October 7, and for their refusal to release the hostages or accept a ceasefire," the White House chief remarked.
