All important points from U.S. President Donald Trump's address at the UN General Assembly on Tuesday 23rd September 2025.
President Donald Trump addressed the 80th UN General Assembly in New York on Tuesday where he made several remarks.
His speech touched a wide range of topics including growing recognition of a Palestinian state, Tariffs, historic trade deals, a nobel prize, among others.
Here's a quick recap of Trump's speech.
Trade deals
The American President credits his administration with rstoring respect to America and "historic trade deals" he has signed after introducing sweeping global tariffs.
"America is respected again, like it has never been respected before" he said.
Ending Seven wars
“In just seven months, I ended seven wars, and in all cases they were raging with the killing of countless thousands of people,” he said. “No President or Prime Minister, no other country has done anything close to this. I did it in just seven months. It’s never happened before.”
The “wars” he listed were between: Israel and Iran, Pakistan and India, Rwanda and the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), Thailand and Cambodia, Armenia and Azerbaijan, Egypt and Ethiopia and Serbia and Kosovo.
Trump added that world leaders and commentators believed his efforts merited the Nobel Peace Prize. “Everyone says I should get the Nobel Peace Prize for each one of these achievements,” he said.
Questioned the UN's usefulness
President Trump attacked the UN and questioned its relevance in the grand scheme of things amidst a heated global political environment.
He said the global body was not "there for us" during negotiatios to end the seven wars he claimed to have ended.
"It's not even coming close to living up to its potential... it's empty words, and empty words don't solve wars" Trump says.
He joked about a broken escalator and a teleprompter that didn't work saying that the first lady was in great shape and would have fallen in the elevator otherwise.
Iran's Nuclear programme
President Donald Trump said during his address to the United Nations General Assembly on Tuesday that Iran can never be allowed to possess nuclear weapons.
"My position is very simple: The world's number one sponsor of terror cannot be allowed to possess the most dangerous weapon," Trump said.
"The rewards would be too great for Hamas"
Trump called for an immediate end to the war in Gaza. Those who supported peace should united in demanding the release of the hostages, he said in a speech at the United Nations.
"As if to encourage continued conflict, some of this body is seeking to unilaterally recognize the Palestinian state. The rewards would be too great for Hamas terrorists, for their atrocities," he said.
Denied climate change, called it "the greatest con job"
Trump dismissed climate change as “the greatest con job” in the world during his address to the United Nations General Assembly on Tuesday, doubling down on his skepticism of global environmental initiatives and multilateral institutions.
He criticized the European Union for reducing its carbon footprint, which he claimed has taken a toll on its economy, and warning countries that have invested heavily in renewable energy that their economies will suffer.
"It's the greatest con job ever perpetrated on the world, in my opinion," Trump told the General Assembly. "All of these predictions made by the United Nations and many others, often for bad reasons, were wrong."
He added: "They were made by stupid people that have cost their country's fortunes and given those same countries no chance for success."
