Trump's harsh criticism of mass immigration in Europe
During the UN summit, US President Donald Trump denounced that international organisations, including the UN itself, are maintaining an excessive drive for ‘uncontrolled’ immigration that is destroying national identities; He lashed out at policies to reduce carbon footprints, claiming that they are destroying the most developed economies on the planet, and described climate change as ‘the greatest hoax ever perpetrated’ and a ‘great global scam’.
Trump spared no one. The US president accused several countries, especially European ones, of allowing levels of mass and irregular immigration. Trump insisted that the amount of immigration Europe is allowing into its borders is proportional to the loss of identity and cultural heritage.
‘Everything green is bankrupt’: Trump against renewable energy
"Immigration and the high cost of so-called green renewable energy are destroying much of the free world and much of our planet. It is the biggest scam ever perpetrated in the world, in my opinion. Everything green is bankrupt. That's what it represents," said the US president.
An example of his fierce fight against those seeking to alleviate carbon emissions into the atmosphere was his rejection of agreements such as the Paris Agreement, arguing that environmental policies benefit polluting countries more than those trying to reduce emissions.
European failure in energy policy
In this regard, he ironically thanked Europe for reducing its carbon footprint by 37%, although he added that in the same period of time, the global carbon footprint increased by 54%, mainly due to China and Southeast Asian countries. Trump quipped that the only thing Europe has achieved is to get rid of industry, lose jobs and worsen the quality of life of its citizens.
In his war against what he considers ‘woke thinking’, Trump claimed that climate change, which for him is part of that culture or ideology, is ‘the greatest con job ever perpetrated on the world’.
‘They do it because they want to be nice – referring to European politicians – they want to be politically correct and they are destroying their heritage. Their countries are being ruined. It is time to end the failed experiment of open borders. Their countries are going to hell. If they don't stop people they have never seen before, with whom they have nothing in common, their country is going to fail,’ he emphasised.
Trump claims to have resolved conflicts and promotes his political model
In his speech, Trump claimed that his administration has ended seven conflicts, although these claims were questioned and qualified by experts. He also pointed out that many global problems could be solved if states imitated his model of immigration and energy policy.
Accusation of UN inefficiency and symbolises its malfunctioning
‘It is the biggest scam ever perpetrated in the world, in my opinion. All those predictions made by the United Nations and many others, often for the wrong reasons, were wrong. They were made by stupid people who have cost their countries fortunes and given them no chance of success. If you don't get away from this green scam, your country will fail,’ he said.
Trump accused the UN of failing to fulfil its mission to resolve conflicts and maintain peace, of ‘writing strong letters’ but doing nothing concrete, and generally of malfunctioning, even using technical glitches (such as a broken teleprompter and a faulty escalator) as metaphors for institutional dysfunction. ‘Your countries are going to hell,’ he added. I would like to point out that the functioning of the teleprompter depended on the White House and not on the UN.
Abandoning renewable energy and protecting borders
‘Once we started detaining and deporting everyone who crossed the border and removing illegal aliens from the United States, they simply stopped coming,’ said Donald Trump.
He recommended that other governments adopt policies like his on immigration, abandon renewable energy in favour of fossil fuels, protect their national sovereignty, and stop ‘going along with the globalist agenda.’ He also mentioned the need to focus on security, border control and defence.
‘Immigration and the high cost of so-called green renewable energy are destroying much of the free world and much of our planet. If you don't get away from this green scam, your country is going to fail. You have to end this now, I'm telling you. I'm really good at these things. Your countries are going to hell,’ he concluded.
Rejection of a Palestinian state under Hamas rule
In his speech to the UN General Assembly in 2025, Donald Trump harshly criticised the unilateral recognition of a Palestinian state by several Western countries, including France, the United Kingdom, Canada, Australia and Portugal.
Trump claimed that recognition would be a reward for Hamas, pointing out that this terrorist organisation committed ‘atrocities’ on 7 October 2023, with more than 1,200 dead and 250 kidnapped in southern Israel.
He stressed that recognising Palestine as a state ‘would be rewarding terrorists for their crimes’ and that the international community must not forget these events – statements he later repeated during a meeting with Emmanuel Macron. He also insisted that those seeking peace must unite to demand the immediate release of the hostages held in Gaza, mentioning that there are at least 20 captives still alive.
Contrary to this view, UN Secretary-General António Guterres defended recognition as a right. Trump, for his part, called for the release of hostages and to avoid legitimising terrorist organisations.
