US President Donald Trump said on Tuesday at the General Assembly of the United Nations (UN) that the UN did not help peace and accused her of supporting illegal migration to the US and Europe. According to him, he “finances the attack on the western countries and their borders” and described the topic of illegal migration as “political question number one of our time”, TASR reports based on AFP and SKY News.
- Donald Trump criticized the UN for supporting illegal migration.
- He said that the UN was causing problems instead of their solution.

- He pointed out the danger of nuclear weapons to the world.
- He expressed skepticism towards climate change and renewable sources.
US President praised his diplomatic efforts
“The UN has huge potential. I have always said it – has a huge, huge potential. But it is far from being used by it,” Trump said. According to him, the organization “does not solve the problems it should, but too often creates us new problems that we need to solve”.
The US President boasted his diplomatic efforts and appointed seven conflicts he finished, including the fighting between Cambodia and Thailand, Pakistan and India, Israel and Iran, Armenia and Azerbaijan
Trump has accused the UN to support illegal mass migration in the speech
“It never happened before. Nothing like this happened. I’m very honored to do it,” Trump said. “It is a pity that I had to do these things instead of doing it by the UN,” he added, adding that the organization “did not even try to help in any of them”.
The UN accused illegal mass migration in the speech. “The UN supports people who come illegally to the United States, and then we must get them out. The UN also provided illegal immigrants for food, accommodation, transport and debit cards,” he said.
Illegal migration is not only the US, but also Europe, which, according to Trump, is in “serious problems”. “It is time to end the unsuccessful experiment of open borders,” he said.
Trump: Climate change is the largest fraud in the world
During almost an hour of speech, he also commented on the situation regarding nuclear weapons in the world. According to Trump, “there is currently no serious danger for our planet”. He added that his aim is to “suppress these threats, starting with Iran”.
Trump also said that climate change is the “largest scam” in the world. He criticized the European Union for reducing its carbon footprint, which, in his opinion, negatively influenced the economy there, and warned countries that have invested significantly in renewable energy sources that their economies would suffer damage. He also highlighted the emphasis on his administration on the extraction of more fossil fuels.
