US President stated that ‘very sinister events’ during the General Assembly ‘were not a coincidence’ and therefore sent a letter to the secretary general demanding ‘immediate investigation’
During the 80th General Assembly of held in New York, the president of the United States, he said he was the target of sabotage. Trump reported three distinct incidents that occurred during his participation in the event, which he considers not mere coincidences. The first problem occurred when the escalator he and the first lady, Melania Trump, used to access the plenary stopped working. Then, during his speech, the microphone was flawed, preventing part of the audience from hearing his words. Finally, TelepromPter, equipment used for speech reading, also had problems.
In response to the incidents, Trump demanded an immediate investigation and said the secret service is already involved in the case. He expressed his indignation on a social network, classifying events as a “triple sabotage” and a “true shame” for the United Nations.
The president also sent a letter to the UN Secretary-General, requesting the technical failures to be investigated. The UN General Assembly continues with its daily sessions, bringing together authorities and diplomats from around the world for bilateral and multilateral discussions.
