US President Donald Trump uses his annual address at the United Nations General Assembly to excoriate the body, claiming it didn’t offer to help when he brokered the end to seven conflicts since he returned to office.
He cites conflicts between Cambodia and Thailand, Kosovo and Serbia, the Congo and Rwanda, Pakistan and India, Israel and Iran, Egypt and Ethiopia, and Armenia and Azerbaijan as ones he’s helped end.
“It’s too bad that I had to do these things instead of the United Nations doing them.”
“These are the two things I got from the United Nations, a bad escalator and a bad teleprompter,” Trump quips to chuckles from the crowd.
He laments not having yet received the Nobel Peace Prize, but claims, “but for me, the real prize will be the… millions of people no longer being killed in endless and unglorious wars.”
Help us report truthfully on social media
As a multimedia journalist, my job is to take the quality, fact-based journalism produced by The Times of Israel newsroom and make it accessible across every platform — from Instagram posts to podcasts to short-form videos.
This is how many, especially young people, consume news these days. But misinformation is rampant on social media. Our team at ToI produces accurate, responsible short-form reporting on Israel and the Jewish world.
If you believe in the importance of factual social media journalism, please consider joining our reader support group, The Times of Israel Community. Your financial support is essential to sustain responsible multimedia reporting.
