Trump Accuses UN of Funding Illegal Migration Assault on Western Borders

At the 2025 United Nations General Assembly, President Donald Trump sharply criticized the UN for its alleged role in funding and enabling illegal migration into Western countries, particularly the United States. He accused the UN of budgeting hundreds of millions of dollars to support migrants, describing this as an "assault on the West" that undermines national sovereignty and border security. Trump highlighted his administration's efforts to restore order through crackdowns on illegal immigration, deportations, and actions against human trafficking and drug cartels. He also condemned UN members considering unilateral recognition of a Palestinian state, linking it to rewarding terrorism. While Trump's claims sparked controversy and criticism regarding the complexity of migration issues and humanitarian responsibilities, his speech underscored his administration's hardline stance on border control and sovereignty. The rhetoric raised concerns about its potential impact on diplomacy and migration policy worldwide.
