The president of the United States, Donald Trump, sent his spokesmen yesterday to know what happened on Tuesday at the United Nations headquarters, when he went to intervene in the debate of the General Assembly and found that the mechanical stairs, the speeches reader and the sound of the room did not work. But this morning he has already exploded in person, with his own words, as excessive as expected.
The Republican has announced on Wednesday night the sending of a letter to the United Nations Secretary, demanding “immediate investigation” about what he calls a “triple sabotage” formed by “three very sinister events”, in reference to the incidents with a mechanical staircase in the access of the headquarters and, moments later, with a teleprómpter and with the sound of the room of the session.
“Yesterday (this Tuesday) a true misfortune occurred in the United Nations. Not one, or two, but three sinister events!”, The White House tenant has lamented in a publication in his social network, Truth Social, where he has affirmed that what happened “This was not a coincidence, it was a triple sabage in the UN.”
Trump has thus announced the sending of “a copy of this letter” to UN Secretary, whose representatives, according to the US leader “should be ashamed.” “It is not surprising that the United Nations has not been able to fulfill the function for which it was created,” he added.
“Not one, not two, but three sinister events! This was not a coincidence (…). It is not surprising that the United Nations could not fulfill the function for which it was created”
He also indicated that the secret service is involved in the analysis of the facts and has demanded “immediate investigation”, urging that “all the safety tapes of the mechanical staircase, especially the emergency stop button.”
“He stopped suddenly. He stopped dry. It is incredible that the first lady) and I did not fall from Bruces on the sharp edges of those steel steps,” he said. “If not because we firmly grabbed the handrails, it would have been a disaster,” he said about a fact that qualifies “absolute sabotage”, claiming the arrest of those responsible.
“He stopped suddenly. He stopped dry. It is incredible that Melania and I did not fall from Bruces on the sharp edges of those steel steps if not because we firmly grabbed the handrails, it would have been a disaster”
Moments later, the White House tenant also had problems with Telepróppter, in an incident that then informed the other representatives and before which “what kind of place” is the UN headquarters.
“The good news is that the speech received. Maybe they appreciated that very few people could have done what I did,” he added in defense of his appearance. During the time that lasted, also the sound of the room would have been problematic: “World leaders, unless they used the interpreters’ headphones, could not hear anything,” he lamented.
To order
Guterres, who has confirmed the reception of the letter, has ordered the opening of an “exhaustive” investigation on what happened, according to a statement released by its spokesman, Stéphane Dujarric.
The Secretary General has also assured the permanent representation of the US that the agency is “willing to cooperate with total transparency” with Washington to clarify the causes of the “incidents” denounced by the White House.
Previously, Dujarric has reported in a press release that the mechanical staircase would have stopped after a camera of the US delegation stepped on “without realizing” a security mechanism at the top after anticipating Trump’s marriage to document its arrival.
On the other hand, the president of the UN General Assembly, said Trump’s intervention that “the United Nations teleprópter operates perfectly”, without knowing if the delegation took its own for the discourse of the New York tycoon, which began relying on written notes.
