‘Your countries are going to hell’: Trump slams United Nations at 80th UNGA

United States President Donald Trump is currently addressing world leaders at the 80th session of the United Nations General Assembly in New York.

Trump blasted United Nations countries for letting immigrants and migrants into their nations.

The president said: “You’re destroying your countries. They’re being destroyed. Europe is in serious trouble. They’ve been invaded by a force of illegal aliens like nobody’s ever seen before. Illegal aliens are pouring into Europe.

“Your countries are going to hell.”

He accused the United Nations of “supporting people that are illegally coming into the U.S.”

Trump added: “And then we have to get them out.

“The U.N. is supposed to stop invasions, not create them and not finance them.”

Trump also accused NATO countries of funding the Russia-Ukraine war, saying: “But inexcusably, even NATO countries have not cut off much Russian energy and Russian energy products. They’re funding the war against themselves.”

More than three years after Russia launched its full-scale invasion of Ukraine, the U.S. and European Union still import billions of euros worth of Russian energy and commodities, ranging from liquefied natural gas to enriched uranium.

“They’re buying oil and gas from Russia while they’re fighting Russia. It’s embarrassing to them,” Trump said.

Trump said the U.S. is ready to impose a round of tariffs on Russia if no deal is reached to end the war.

“But for those tariffs to be effective, European nations, all of you are gathered here right now, would have to join us in adopting the exact same measures,” the president stated.
