President Trump speaks at United Nations General Assembly- Here are the Highlights

President Donald J. Trump spoke at the General Debate of the 81st session of the United Nations General Assembly today and focused heavily on how "globalist institutions have significantly decayed the world order" while urging the world’s leaders to prioritize their own citizens rather than catering to global elites.

He declared emphatically to the Assembly, “The future does not belong to globalists—the future belongs to patriots. The future belongs to sovereign and independent nations who protect their citizens, respect their neighbors, and honor the differences that make each country special and unique.” .

On the war in Iran, he defended his stance on the conflict stating that he faces a choice on whether to "annihilate" Iran or strike a deal. He predicted that Iran would ultimately negotiate to end the war after the U.S. midterm elections in November. .

He then issued a warning against foreign influence close to home, stating that the U.S. will no longer permit threats to gain a foothold in the Western Hemisphere. He explicitly accused Cuba of coordinating with left-wing radical and communist networks, at which point the Cuban delegates walked out. .

He spoke of his 20-point peace plan for Gaza and highlighted his administration's "Board of Peace" initiatives, while rejecting widespread international calls to regulate artificial intelligence, arguing instead that AI development should be monitored domestically by the Department of Justice.

Trump strongly finished by presenting the U.S. as a model of national focus, declaring the nation revitalized and thriving.
