“I really feel very joyful to be up right here with you however, and that approach you converse extra from the center. I can solely say that whoever is working this teleprompter is in massive hassle.
Hi there, Madam First Woman. Thanks very a lot for being right here. And Madam President, Mr. Secretary Normal, First Woman of america, distinguished delegates, ambassadors, and world leaders.
Six years have handed since I final stood on this grand corridor and addressed a world that was affluent and at peace. In my first time period since that day, the weapons of conflict have shattered the peace I solid on two continents. An period of calm and stability gave method to one of many nice crises of our time.
And right here in america, 4 years of weak point, lawlessness, and radicalism beneath the final administration delivered our nation right into a repeated set of disasters. One 12 months in the past, our nation was in serious trouble. However at present, simply eight months into my administration, we’re the most well liked nation wherever on the planet, and there’s no different nation even shut.
America is blessed with the strongest financial system, the strongest borders, the strongest army, the strongest friendships, and the strongest spirit of any nation on the face of the earth. That is certainly the golden age of America. We’re quickly reversing the financial calamity that we inherited from the earlier administration, together with ruinous value will increase and record-setting inflation— inflation like we’ve by no means had earlier than.
Beneath my management, power prices are down, gasoline costs are down, grocery costs are down, mortgage charges are down, and inflation has been defeated. The one factor that is up is the inventory market, which simply hit a report excessive. In reality, it hit a report excessive 48 occasions within the final quick time frame. Progress is surging, manufacturing is booming. The inventory market, as I mentioned, is doing higher than it’s ever achieved. And all of you on this room profit by that.
Virtually everyone, and importantly staff, wages are rising on the quickest tempo in additional than 60 years. And that’s what it’s all about, isn’t it? In 4 years of President Biden, we had lower than $1 trillion of recent funding into america. In simply eight months since I took workplace, we now have secured commitments and cash already paid for $17 trillion. Consider it—4 years, lower than a trillion. Eight months, rather more than $17 trillion is being invested in america, and it’s now pouring in from all elements of the world.
We’ve applied the biggest tax cuts in American historical past and the biggest regulation cuts in American historical past, making this as soon as once more the perfect nation on earth to do enterprise. Lots of the folks on this room are investing in America, and it’s turned out to be an awfully good funding throughout this eight-month interval.
In my first time period, I constructed the best financial system within the historical past of the world. We had the perfect financial system ever. And I’m doing the identical factor once more, however this time it’s really a lot larger and even higher. The numbers far surpass my record-setting first time period.
On our southern border, we now have efficiently repelled a colossal invasion. For the final 4 months, that’s 4 months in a row, the variety of unlawful aliens admitted and getting into our nation has been zero. Onerous to imagine, as a result of if you happen to look again only a 12 months in the past, it was thousands and thousands and thousands and thousands of individuals pouring in from all around the world—from prisons, from psychological establishments, drug sellers all around the world. They got here. They only poured into our nation with the ridiculous open-border coverage of the Biden administration.
Our message may be very easy: if you happen to come illegally into america, you’re going to jail, otherwise you’re going again to the place you got here from, or maybe even additional than that—you realize what meaning. I need to thank the nation of El Salvador for the profitable {and professional} job they’ve achieved in receiving and jailing so many criminals that entered our nation. It was beneath the earlier administration that the quantity grew to become record-setting, they usually’re all being taken out.
We have now no alternative, and different international locations don’t have any alternative as a result of different international locations are in the very same state of affairs with immigration. It’s destroying your nation, and you must do one thing about it on the world stage.
America is revered once more, prefer it has by no means been revered earlier than. Take into consideration two years in the past, three years in the past, 4 years in the past, and even one 12 months in the past—we have been a laughingstock all around the world.
On the NATO Summit in June, just about all NATO members formally dedicated to extend protection spending, at my request, from 2% to five% of GDP, making our alliance far stronger and extra highly effective than it was ever earlier than.
In Might, I traveled to the Center East to go to my associates and rebuild our partnerships within the Gulf. These valued relationships with Saudi Arabia, Qatar, the UAE, and different international locations at the moment are, I imagine, nearer than ever earlier than.
My administration has negotiated one historic commerce deal after one other, together with with the UK, the European Union, Japan, South Korea, Vietnam, Indonesia, the Philippines, Malaysia, and lots of, many others. Likewise, in a interval of simply seven months, I’ve ended seven unenviable wars. They mentioned they have been unenviable, that you simply’d by no means get them solved. Some have been occurring for 31 years, two of them 31. One was 36 years, one was 28 years. I ended seven wars, and in all instances, they have been raging with numerous 1000’s of individuals being killed.
This consists of Cambodia and Thailand, Kosovo and Serbia, the Congo and Rwanda, a vicious, violent conflict that was Pakistan and India, Israel and Iran, Egypt and Ethiopia, Armenia and Azerbaijan. It included all of them. No president, no prime minister, and for that matter, no different nation has ever achieved something near that—and I did it in simply seven months. It is by no means occurred earlier than. It’s by no means been something like that. I’m very honored to have achieved it.
It’s too dangerous that I needed to do this stuff as an alternative of the United Nations doing them. Sadly, in all instances, the United Nations didn’t even attempt to assist. I ended seven wars, handled the leaders of every one in all these international locations, and by no means even obtained a telephone name from the United Nations providing to assist finalize the deal. All I obtained from the United Nations was an escalator that, on the best way up, stopped proper within the center. If the First Woman wasn’t in nice form, she would have fallen—however she’s in nice form. We’re each in fine condition. We each stood. After which a teleprompter didn’t work. These are the 2 issues I obtained from the United Nations: a foul escalator and a foul teleprompter.
Thanks very a lot. And by the best way, it’s working now. Simply went on. Thanks. I feel I ought to simply do it the opposite approach—it’s simpler. Thanks very a lot.
I didn’t consider it on the time as a result of I used to be too busy working to avoid wasting thousands and thousands of lives—that’s, the saving and stopping of those wars. However later, I noticed that the United Nations wasn’t there for us. They weren’t there. I considered it actually after the actual fact, not throughout these negotiations, which weren’t straightforward. That being the case, what’s the function of the United Nations?
The UN has such super potential. I’ve all the time mentioned it. It has such super, super potential. But it surely’s not even coming near dwelling as much as that potential—for essentially the most half, at the least for now. All they appear to do is write a strongly worded letter after which by no means observe it up. It’s empty phrases, and empty phrases don’t clear up conflict. The one factor that solves conflict is motion.
After ending all of those wars, and likewise earlier negotiating the Abraham Accords—which is a really massive factor for which our nation obtained no credit score, by no means receives credit score—everybody says that I ought to get the Nobel Peace Prize for every one in all these achievements. However for me, the true prize is the little kids who lived to develop up with their moms and dads as a result of thousands and thousands of persons are not being killed in limitless and gloriously damaging wars. What I care about isn’t successful prizes—it’s saving lives. We saved thousands and thousands and thousands and thousands of lives with the seven wars, and we now have others that we’re engaged on.
A few years in the past, a really profitable actual property developer in New York, often called Donald J. Trump, bid on the renovation and rebuilding of this very United Nations advanced. I keep in mind it so nicely. I mentioned on the time that I’d do it for $500 million—rebuilding all the things superbly. I talked about marble flooring; they have been going to present you terrazzo. I mentioned I’d provide the better of all the things. You have been going to have mahogany partitions; they have been going to present you plastic.
However they determined to go in one other route, which was rather more costly on the time and truly produced a far inferior product. I noticed they didn’t know what they have been doing when it got here to development, that their constructing ideas have been so mistaken, and the product they have been proposing to construct was so dangerous and dear it was going to price them a fortune. And I mentioned, wait until you see the overruns. Properly, I turned out to be proper—they’d large price overruns and spent between $2 and $4 billion on the constructing, and didn’t even get the marble flooring that I promised them. You stroll onto Rasa, you discover that, so far as I’m involved, they nonetheless haven’t completed the job.
The undertaking was so corrupt that Congress really requested me to testify earlier than them on the super waste of cash. That they had no concept what it was however knew it was wherever between $2 and $4 billion, versus $500 million with a assure. I mentioned it price rather more than $5 billion. Sadly, many issues within the United Nations are taking place similar to that—however on a good a lot larger scale, a lot, a lot larger. It’s very unhappy to see whether or not the UN can handle to play a productive position.
I’ve come right here at present to supply the hand of American management and friendship to any nation on this meeting prepared to hitch us in forging a safer, extra affluent world. It’s a world that will probably be a lot happier, and a dramatically higher future is inside our attain. However to get there, we should reject the failed approaches of the previous and work collectively to confront among the best threats in historical past.
There is no such thing as a extra critical hazard to our planet at present than essentially the most highly effective and damaging weapons ever devised by man. The US, as you realize, has many. Simply as I did in my first time period, I’ve made containing these threats a high precedence, beginning with the nation of Iran. My place may be very easy: the world’s primary sponsor of terror can by no means be allowed to own essentially the most harmful weapon.
Shortly after taking workplace, I despatched the so-called Supreme Chief a letter making a beneficiant supply. I prolonged a pledge of full cooperation in trade for a suspension of Iran’s nuclear program. The regime’s reply was to proceed their fixed threats to their neighbors and U.S. pursuits all through the area.
Right this moment, lots of Iran’s former army commanders, in truth virtually all of them, are not with us—they’re useless. Three months in the past, in Operation Midnight Hammer, seven American B-2 bombers dropped fourteen 30,000-pound bombs on Iran’s key nuclear amenities, completely obliterating all the things. No different nation on earth may have achieved what we did. No different nation has the gear to do what we did. We have now the best weapons on earth. We hate to make use of them, however we did one thing that, for 22 years, folks needed to do: Iran’s nuclear enrichment capability demolished. I instantly brokered an finish to the 12-day conflict between Israel and Iran, with either side agreeing to battle no additional.
Combat not. As everybody is aware of, I’ve additionally been deeply engaged in searching for a ceasefire in Gaza. We have now to get that achieved—we now have to get it achieved. Sadly, Hamas has repeatedly rejected cheap affords to make peace. We won’t neglect October seventh, can we?
Now, as if to encourage continued battle, a few of this physique is searching for to unilaterally acknowledge a Palestinian state. The rewards could be too nice for Hamas terrorists for his or her atrocities. This is able to be a reward for these horrible atrocities, together with October seventh. Even whereas they refused to launch the hostages or settle for a ceasefire, as an alternative of giving in to Hamas and giving a lot as a result of they’ve taken a lot—they’ve taken a lot—this might have been solved so way back.
However as an alternative of giving in to Hamas’s ransom calls for, those that need peace ought to be united with one message: launch the hostages now. Simply launch the hostages now.
We have now obtained to come back collectively, and we’ll come collectively. We’re going to get it achieved. We have now to cease the conflict in Gaza instantly. We have now to get it achieved. We have now to barter instantly. We have now to barter peace. We’ve obtained to get the hostages again. We would like all 20 again. We don’t need two or 4.
As you realize, I obtained together with Steve Witkoff and others who helped us. Marco Rubio—we obtained most of them again. We have been concerned in all of them. However I all the time mentioned the final 20 are going to be the toughest—and that’s precisely what occurred. We have now to get them again now. We don’t need to get again two, then one, then three in a gradual course of. No, we wish all of them again. And we wish the 38 useless our bodies returned to their mother and father shortly and respectfully, as if they have been alive. They need them—they need them very badly.
I’ve additionally been working relentlessly to cease the killing in Ukraine. I believed that might be one of many seven wars I ended. I believed that might be the best due to my relationship with President Putin, which had all the time been an excellent one. I believed it was going to be the best one. However in conflict, you by no means know what’s going to occur. There are all the time a lot of surprises, each good and dangerous.
Everybody thought Russia would win this conflict in three days, nevertheless it didn’t work out that approach. It was alleged to be only a fast little skirmish. It’s not making Russia look good—it’s making them look dangerous, it doesn’t matter what occurs from right here on out. This was one thing that ought to have taken a matter of days, actually lower than every week. And so they’ve been preventing for 3 and a half years, killing wherever from 5,000 to 7,000 younger troopers, totally on either side, each single week, with further deaths in cities the place rockets are shot and drones are dropped.
This conflict would by no means have began if I have been president. It exhibits what management—or dangerous management—can do to a rustic. Take a look at what occurred to america and the place we’re proper now in only a quick time frame. The one query now could be: what number of extra lives will probably be needlessly misplaced on either side?
China and India are the first funders of the continuing conflict by persevering with to buy Russian oil. Even NATO international locations haven’t reduce off a lot Russian power and Russian power merchandise, which, as you realize, I discovered about two weeks in the past—and I wasn’t joyful. Consider it—they’re funding the conflict towards themselves. Who the hell ever heard of that one?
Within the occasion that Russia isn’t able to make a deal to finish the conflict, america is absolutely ready to impose a really sturdy spherical of tariffs, which I imagine would cease the bloodshed in a short time. However for these tariffs to be efficient, European nations—all of you gathered right here proper now—must be part of us in adopting the very same measures. You’re a lot nearer to this battle than we’re. Europe has to step it up. They’ll’t proceed shopping for oil and fuel from Russia whereas preventing Russia. It’s embarrassing to them—and it was very embarrassing after I discovered about it. They’ve to right away stop all power purchases from Russia. In any other case, we’re losing quite a lot of time.
I’m prepared to debate this. We’re going to debate it at present with the European nations gathered right here. I like to talk my thoughts and converse the reality.
As we search to cut back the specter of harmful weapons, at present I’m additionally calling on each nation to hitch us in ending the event of organic weapons as soon as and for all. Organic weapons are horrible, and nuclear weapons are much more harmful. We need to have a cessation of the event of nuclear weapons.
We all know, and I do know, and I get to view it on a regular basis—these are weapons so highly effective that we simply can’t ever use them. If we ever used them, the world actually would possibly come to an finish. There could be no United Nations to speak about. There could be nothing. Only a few years in the past, reckless experiments abroad gave us a devastating international pandemic. But, regardless of that worldwide disaster, many international locations proceed extraordinarily dangerous analysis into bioweapons and man-made pathogens. That is unbelievably harmful.
To forestall potential disasters, I’m asserting at present that my administration will lead a global effort to implement the Organic Weapons Conference, which goes to be assembly with the highest leaders of the world by pioneering an age verification system that everybody can belief. Hopefully, the UN can play a constructive position, and it’ll even be one of many early tasks beneath AI. Let’s see how good it’s, as a result of lots of people are saying it could possibly be one of many best issues ever. It additionally might be harmful, however it may be put to super use and super good—and this is able to be an instance of that.
Not solely is the UN not fixing the issues it ought to, typically it’s really creating new issues for us to resolve. One of the best instance is the primary political situation of our time: the disaster of uncontrolled migration. It’s uncontrolled. Your international locations are being ruined. The United Nations is funding an assault on Western international locations and their borders.
In 2024, the UN budgeted $372 million in money help to help an estimated 624,000 migrants journeying into america. Consider that—the UN is supporting folks illegally coming into america, after which we now have to take away them. The UN additionally supplied meals, shelter, transportation, and debit playing cards to unlawful aliens. Are you able to imagine it? Tens of millions of individuals got here by our southern border only a 12 months in the past—thousands and thousands and thousands and thousands—25 million altogether over the 4 years of the incompetent Biden administration. And now we now have it stopped. Completely stopped. In reality, they’re not even coming anymore as a result of they know they will’t get by.
However what occurred is completely unacceptable. The UN is meant to cease invasions, not create them and never finance them. In america, we reject the concept mass numbers of individuals from overseas lands might be permitted to journey midway world wide, trample our borders, violate our sovereignty, trigger unmitigated crime, and deplete our social security web. We have now reasserted that America belongs to the American folks, and I encourage all international locations to take their very own stand in protection of their residents as nicely.
I see it taking place. I’m not mentioning names, however your international locations are being destroyed. Europe is in deep trouble. They’ve been invaded by a pressure of unlawful aliens like no one has ever seen earlier than. Unlawful aliens are pouring into Europe. No one has achieved something to cease it. It’s not sustainable. And since they select to be politically appropriate, they’re doing completely nothing about it.
I take a look at London, the place you may have a horrible mayor—it’s been so modified. Now they need to go to Sharia regulation, however you’re in a distinct nation—you’ll be able to’t try this. Each the immigration and their suicidal power insurance policies would be the dying of Western Europe. If one thing isn’t achieved instantly, this can’t be sustained.
What makes the world lovely is that every nation is exclusive. However to remain this fashion, each sovereign nation should have the fitting to manage its personal borders. You’ve got the fitting to manage your borders, as we do now, and to restrict the sheer numbers of migrants getting into your international locations, paid for by the folks of that nation who constructed that nation with their blood, sweat, tears, and cash. Proud nations have to be allowed to guard their communities and forestall their societies from being overwhelmed by folks they’ve by no means seen earlier than, with totally different customs, religions, and methods of life.
The place migrants have violated legal guidelines, lodged false asylum claims, or claimed refugee standing for illegitimate causes, they need to, in lots of instances, be instantly despatched residence. Whereas we’ll all the time have an enormous coronary heart for locations and other people which can be struggling and actually compassionate, options have to be applied of their international locations—not create new issues in ours.
We have now been very useful to many international locations which can be unable to ship their folks again. They used to ship them to us in caravans of 25,000–30,000 folks every—large caravans pouring into our nation, completely unchecked and unvetted. However not anymore.
In keeping with the Council of Europe, in 2024 virtually 50% of inmates in German prisons have been overseas nationals or migrants. In Austria, the quantity was 53%. In Greece, 54%. In Switzerland, 72%. When your prisons are full of so-called asylum seekers who repay kindness with crime, it’s time to finish the failed experiment of open borders. You must finish it now.
I can let you know, I’m actually good at these things. Your international locations are going to hell—America acted boldly to swiftly shut down uncontrolled migration. As soon as we began detaining and deporting everybody who crossed the border illegally, they merely stopped coming. They’re not coming anymore. We’re getting credit score for it—however this was a humanitarian act for all concerned. On the journey up, 1000’s of individuals every week have been dying; girls have been being raped. No one has ever seen something prefer it.
The journey was lengthy and arduous, loaded with dying alongside roads and thru jungles—so sizzling folks couldn’t breathe, suffocating, useless our bodies all alongside the best way. What we did was a historic victory towards human trafficking. We saved numerous lives of people that wouldn’t make the journey. My folks have achieved a unbelievable job, and the American public agrees. I used to be proud this morning to see I’ve the best ballot numbers I’ve ever had—partly due to what we’ve achieved on the border and partly due to what we’ve achieved on the financial system.
Joe Biden’s insurance policies empowered murderous gangs, human smugglers, youngster traffickers, drug cartels, and prisoners from all around the world. The earlier administration additionally misplaced almost 300,000 kids—little kids trafficked into america, many raped, exploited, abused, and offered. No one talks about that.
We have now discovered quite a lot of these kids and are returning them to their mother and father. The mother and father rush to the door, tears of their eyes, unable to imagine they’re seeing their son or daughter once more. We’ve achieved virtually 30,000 of them to this point. Any system that leads to the trafficking of kids is inherently evil. But that’s precisely what the globalist migration agenda has achieved. These days are over.
The Trump administration is continuous to trace down the villains inflicting this drawback and returning the kids we’ve already discovered. We’re additionally taking motion towards drug cartels. Fewer folks at the moment are taking massive shipments of medication by sea—these “water medicine” kill a whole lot of 1000’s of individuals.
I’ve additionally designated a number of savage drug cartels as overseas terrorist organizations, together with two bloodthirsty transnational gangs—most likely the worst gangs wherever on the planet: MS-13 and Tren de Aragua. Tren de Aragua is from Venezuela, by the best way. Such organizations torture, maim, mutilate, and homicide with impunity. They’re the enemies of all humanity.
Because of this, we’ve just lately begun utilizing the supreme energy of america army to destroy Venezuelan terrorists and trafficking networks led by Nicolás Maduro, focusing on each terrorist thug smuggling toxic medicine into america of America. Please be warned: we’ll blow you out of existence. That’s what we’re doing. We have now no alternative. We will’t let it occur. They’re destroying lives. I imagine we misplaced 300,000 folks final 12 months to medicine—fentanyl and different medicine. Every boat we sink carries medicine that might kill greater than 25,000 Individuals. We is not going to let that occur.
Vitality is one other space the place america is now thriving like by no means earlier than. We’re eliminating the falsely named “renewables.” By the best way, they’re a joke. They don’t work, they’re too costly, they usually’re not sturdy sufficient to fireside up the crops that you want to make your nation nice. These massive windmills are so pathetic, so dangerous, so costly to function, they usually need to be rebuilt on a regular basis—they begin to rust and decay. It’s the most costly power ever conceived. You’re alleged to make cash with power, not lose it. You may’t function these techniques with out large subsidies, and most of them are inbuilt China.
I give China credit score—they construct them, although they very hardly ever use them. They use coal, fuel, virtually something—however not wind. They positive like promoting windmills, although. Europe, alternatively, has a protracted method to go, with many international locations being getting ready to destruction due to the inexperienced power agenda. I give quite a lot of credit score to Germany. Germany was being led down a really sick path—each on immigration and on power. They have been going inexperienced and going bankrupt. However new management got here in, reverted to fossil fuels and nuclear power, and opened up many power crops. They’re doing nicely. I give Germany quite a lot of credit score for that.
In America, we’ve additionally strengthened public security. New York Metropolis feels safer. Crime is down. Washington, D.C., was the crime capital of America, however now, after 12 days of motion, it’s a very secure metropolis. Everybody can exit to dinner, stroll freely, and luxuriate in eating places. My folks have achieved a unbelievable job. We eliminated 1,700 profession criminals—sending them again to their international locations or placing them in jail.
Relating to power and assets, international locations just like the UK have untapped belongings, together with super oil reserves within the North Sea. I inspired them to make use of these belongings as an alternative of destroying landscapes with windmills and photo voltaic panels. Inexperienced power insurance policies have prompted monumental financial injury globally. The carbon footprint is a hoax created by folks with evil intentions. Regardless of sacrifices in Europe, international emissions proceed to rise, primarily from China and different creating nations. The so-called local weather insurance policies redistribute wealth whereas harming developed nations.
The US, beneath my administration, has unleashed large power manufacturing, together with oil, fuel, and coal—clear and exquisite coal. We stand prepared to offer any nation with plentiful, inexpensive power if wanted. Commerce and power insurance policies have to be honest and reciprocal. Nations that beforehand exploited the U.S. by tariffs at the moment are dealing with penalties. We defend our sovereignty and residents towards unfair practices worldwide, together with actions by the Biden administration.
Subsequent 12 months, america will have fun the 250th anniversary of independence, and we’ll host the 2026 FIFA World Cup and the 2028 Olympics. These will probably be celebrations of liberty and human achievement, reflecting the enduring energy and spirit of our nation. I hope all international locations impressed by our instance will take part renewing commitments to free speech, spiritual liberty, sovereignty, and nationwide traditions.
In closing, immigration and the excessive price of so-called inexperienced renewable power are destroying a big a part of the free world. Sturdy borders and conventional power sources are important for nations to thrive. Each chief on this corridor represents a proud heritage, wealthy tradition, and noble historical past. Our ancestors constructed nations with braveness, power, and ability. It’s now our obligation to guard our residents, protect our cultures, and safeguard freedoms. Collectively, we are able to construct a shiny, lovely planet—a world richer, safer, and extra affluent than ever earlier than.
Thanks very a lot. It’s been an honor. God bless the nations of the world.”
