Trump Delivers Controversial UN Speech Sparking Global Backlash

President Donald Trump delivered a fiery and unconventional hour-long speech at the 80th United Nations General Assembly, which sparked widespread backlash and visible disapproval among world leaders and delegates. Trump attacked other nations, accusing them of destroying their countries through illegal immigration, wars, vaccines, and climate change, and boasted about ending seven wars, claiming he deserved a Nobel Peace Prize. His address was marked by complaints about technical issues such as a broken teleprompter and an escalator malfunction, which he used to criticize the UN and its leadership. Social media and political figures condemned the speech as humiliating, disgraceful, and a global embarrassment for the United States, while some noted the stark, unvarnished truth Trump presented to the assembly. The speech ended chaotically, with attending leaders and delegates rushing to leave, and a lack of applause for Trump’s remarks. Overall, the event highlighted deep divisions and controversy surrounding Trump's approach to international diplomacy and the UN institution itself.
