Donald Trump UNLEASHES Fury on World Leaders: ‘Your Countries Are Going to Hell’
- US President launches scathing attack on global migration and climate change policies in 56-minute UN speech
- Trump urges European nations to adopt tough economic measures against Russia, sparking fears of escalating tensions
- He rejects Palestinian statehood and mocks NATO allies for not shutting down Russian oil purchases
- Leaders give polite applause as Trump exits chamber, but human rights advocates slam his ‘xenophobic’ rhetoric
US President Donald Trump has sparked outrage with a fiery speech to the UN General Assembly, warning world leaders that their countries are ‘going to hell’ due to mass migration and ‘suicidal’ climate change policies.
In a combative address that left many in attendance aghast, Trump rejected global efforts to address climate change, branding it a ‘con job’ and urging a return to fossil fuels. He also took aim at European nations, accusing them of funding the war in Ukraine by purchasing Russian oil.
Human rights advocates were quick to condemn Trump’s ‘xenophobic’ rhetoric, which they say will only serve to fuel further division and conflict. ‘The idea that countries are going to hell because of migration is simply not supported by the facts,’ said one critic.
Trump’s speech was notable for its stark rejection of a Palestinian state, a move that faces fierce resistance from Israel. He also took a swipe at London Mayor Sadiq Khan, falsely claiming that he wants to impose ‘sharia law’ on the city.
The US President’s comments on climate change were also widely ridiculed, with scientists pointing out that his claims are in direct contradiction to the overwhelming evidence of human-caused climate change.
Despite the controversy, Trump remained defiant, telling reporters that he is ‘really good at this stuff’ and that his policies are designed to protect Western Europe from the ‘threat’ of mass migration.
As the US President exited the chamber, he was met with polite applause from world leaders, but it’s clear that his divisive rhetoric has done little to win him friends on the global stage.
In a bizarre aside, Trump also complained about the UN’s infrastructure, claiming that he and First Lady Melania Trump were marooned on a malfunctioning escalator and that his teleprompter was not working properly.
‘These are the two things I got from the United Nations – a bad escalator and a bad teleprompter,’ Trump joked, but it was clear that his frustrations ran much deeper.
