Speaking at the opening of the U.N. General Assembly yesterday, President Trump blasted the United Nations and questioned its purpose. He also called climate change a “con job.” And he warned European nations of the “double-tailed monster” of migration and green energy.
President Donald Trump: “Not only is the U.N. not solving the problems it should, too often it’s actually creating new problems for us to solve. The best example is the number one political issue of our time: the crisis of uncontrolled migration. It’s uncontrolled. Your countries are being ruined. The United Nations is funding an assault on Western countries and their borders.”
Meanwhile, pro-Palestinian and antiwar protesters gathered outside the U.N. building, urging an end to Israel’s war on Gaza. It comes as 10 more countries recognized Palestinian statehood earlier this week, bringing the total to more than 150 countries.
Ann: “I would say that recognizing the Palestinian state right now without actually taking real action to stop the ongoing genocide of the Palestinian people is just symbolic. It’s hypocritical. It means nothing.”
