Trump Addresses UN Assembly, Calls for Global Unity

President Donald Trump spoke at the 81st U.N. General Assembly in New York City, urging nations to come together against what he termed the “enemies of all humanity.”

In a speech lasting nearly 40 minutes, Trump highlighted the achievements of his administration, focusing on the economy and border security, while confidently asserting that the U.S. is thriving after 250 years of independence.

“Two-and-a-half centuries after the cause of liberty found its home on this continent, I can report to you with pride that America is back and our country is stronger today than ever before,” he emphasized.

Trump also detailed his administration’s international efforts, including the end of eight conflicts, such as those in Cambodia, Kosovo, and Gaza, among others.

He predicted the resolution of two additional conflicts, specifically mentioning the Russia-Ukraine war and tensions with Iran.

“For 51 years, the fanatical Iranian regime has ruled by bloodshed and mass murder, spreading death and carnage and chaos across the entire Middle East and beyond,” he remarked. “They were the bully of the Middle East, but they are the bully no more.”

As Iranian representatives sat in attendance, Trump stated that he faces a significant decision regarding future negotiations with Tehran.

“But I have a big decision to make. Will a deal be made with Iran that lets them rebuild and create a far greater country than it ever was before?… Or do I annihilate the Islamic Republic and do it quickly, never giving them a chance to kill and destroy people and countries again?” he questioned.

Trump expressed optimism about achieving a diplomatic breakthrough after the midterm elections, suggesting Iran is waiting to see the election results before resuming discussions.

“But I believe we’ll make a deal right after the election, because it doesn’t make sense for them not to. They’re waiting to see how I do in the midterm election,” he stated, clarifying that he isn’t personally running but is supporting Republican candidates.

He also made it clear that U.S. policy regarding Iran is not influenced by the elections, asserting, “The only thing that does is that Iran will never have a nuclear weapon,” eliciting applause from many in the audience.

Shifting his focus, Trump addressed issues closer to home, labeling drug cartels as the “ISIS of the Western Hemisphere.”

“The cartels are the ISIS of the Western Hemisphere,” the president declared.

He highlighted U.S. operations targeting suspected drug transports, claiming that about 97% of maritime drug shipments to the U.S. are intercepted.

“Mexico is the epicenter of the cartel violence, unfortunately. It’s unacceptable for the United States to share a 2,000-mile border with the territory controlled by enemy cartels,” he asserted, urging Mexico to regain control.

Trump did not hesitate to criticize the Communist regime in Cuba, which reportedly led to the Cuban delegation leaving the assembly in protest.

During his address to global leaders, he condemned what he called “globalist bureaucrats” for enforcing a “far-left agenda” internationally. He reiterated his call for nations to withdraw from the International Criminal Court, which he described as an “evil group of people.”

Trump devoted a portion of his speech to discussing artificial intelligence, which he proposed renaming “Super Intelligence.”

“The United States also totally rejects any attempt to construct a globalist scheme to control artificial intelligence,” he declared. “The use of the word ‘artificial’ makes it sound fake. And it is not fake, it’s actually amazing.”

While acknowledging the challenges posed by new technologies, he argued that it’s essential for the U.S. to lead in the AI field.

In conclusion, he called on the nations of the world to unite, emphasizing the importance of taking action based on strong principles.

“If we go forward strong and united against the enemies of all humanity, we will make this world far safer and a far better place,” he concluded.
