During his address at the 80th United Nations General Assembly, President Donald Trump sharply criticized the UN, accusing it of worsening global challenges instead of solving them.

“Not only is the U.N. not solving the problems it should — too often, it is actually creating NEW problems,” Trump said. “The United Nations is FUNDING an assault on Western countries and their borders… The U.N. is supposed to STOP invasions — not CREATE them and not FINANCE them.”

Trump’s remarks highlighted his long-standing skepticism of international organizations and his hardline stance on border security. He argued that the UN’s involvement in migration-related initiatives undermines national sovereignty and weakens the ability of countries to protect their own borders.

The speech drew applause from some delegates who share his concerns, while others pushed back, defending the UN’s humanitarian programs as essential for managing global crises. The comments are expected to intensify debate over the role of the United Nations in migration and security issues.
