Trump Addresses UN Amidst Global Palestinian Statehood Support

President Donald Trump addressed the United Nations General Assembly amidst growing international debate over the recognition of Palestinian statehood. Trump criticized globalist institutions for weakening the world order and expressed opposition to the recent moves by allies such as France, the U.K., Canada, and Australia to recognize a Palestinian state, arguing that such recognition emboldens extremists like Hamas and does not contribute to ending the conflict or releasing hostages in Gaza. His administration has also denied visas to Palestinian officials to block their attendance at the assembly. Meanwhile, Brazil's President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva used his UN speech to emphasize democratic values and national sovereignty, indirectly criticizing Trump's interference in Brazil's judiciary related to the trial of former President Jair Bolsonaro, a Trump ally. The broader international community, including leaders like British Prime Minister Keir Starmer and Luxembourg Prime Minister Luc Frieden, supports a two-state solution as a pathway to peace, contrasting with Trump's stance. Trump’s UN engagements also included meetings with leaders from Ukraine, Argentina, the European Union, and several Middle Eastern countries, reflecting ongoing diplomatic efforts amid global tensions.
