Trump to address UN General Assembly as Carney becomes voice of multilateralism

Trump intensified pressure on the International Criminal Court and defended U.S. policy on Iran, artificial intelligence and global institutions in a 37-minute speech.

  • On Tuesday, President Donald Trump addressed the 81st United Nations General Assembly in New York, framing his foreign policy as deploying American power to solve "decades of intractable challenges" facing the world.
  • Trump's address follows a persistent pattern of institutional erosion; his administration withdrew from UNESCO and the World Health Organization while slashing more than $1 billion in United Nations funding for peacekeeping and regular budgets.
  • Trump branded the International Criminal Court a "rogue institution" and threatened to "annihilate" Iran if the government did not capitulate to his demands. He urged all ICC member nations to "officially resign" immediately.
  • Following his address, Trump signed a security deal with Denmark and Greenland that bars non-NATO nations from opening military bases or mining critical minerals on the strategically important Arctic island.
  • Nearly 130 world leaders gathered for the six-day session amid ongoing conflicts in Ukraine and Gaza, as United Nations Secretary-General Antonio Guterres warned that "killer robots must have no place in our future.
