Trump once again on the UN General Assembly podiumThe audience held their breath. He talked about immigration, scolded the climate, accused Europe, attacked the United Nations, and turned the diplomatic forum into a personal show.
The applause fell, the reaction was cold, The moment of unhealthy leadership, the whole world is watching.
The beginning of a speech conflict.
Less than a minute later, Trump pointed his head to Europe, lifting his hand, swinging his fingertips, speaking fast, speaking loud and looking loud. He said the immigration policies of European countries were "completely failed", saying these countries were "going to hell"。
There is no diplomatic statement, no buffer. He describes immigration governance across Europe as a “self-destructive city.”。
There was silence in the hall, with diplomatic representatives from major European countries such as France, Germany and Spain sitting in the first row. In front of the table, no one applauded.
Trump continues. He said he was successful in curbing illegal immigration, U.S. border "is restoring order"He also praised the efficiency of the “private immigration system.” he stressed the “hardness” of the policy during his term of office and suggested that Europe should “learn to follow.” Like a command, like a warning.。
In his view, The American immigration model is the only template.He completely disregarded the multilateral resettlement mechanisms that European countries have accumulated for a long time and disregarded the framework set by the United Nations on humanitarian issues.
The speech about immigration lasted nine minutes, with no applause at the scene. The whole atmosphere starting from the first sentence is destined to be relieved.。
The topic of immigration is not over, and the climate issue follows closely behind.He once spoke about defining climate warming with the “biggest scam in history.”He denied the link between greenhouse gases and climate change and denied decades of research by global scientists.He said the new energy industry “made inflation,” said green energy “destroyed industry,” and said carbon neutrality was “a false slogan.”
He emphasized in particular that he “ended Biden subsidies” and re-lipped traditional energy companies, saying he opened up shale oil mining rights in Alaska and the western reserves, saying clean energy is “high, wasteful” and is leading the United States in the wrong direction.
This speech triggered a loud discussion on the scene.Some representatives shook their heads, some representatives laughed at each other.Some representatives of the island countries showed a shocking expression: climate change is not a political issue for them, but a threat to their survival.
Trump's speech had no scruples. He continued to ridicule the international climate conference as "empty and expensive", the Paris Agreement as "equal to giving up sovereignty" and even questioned the legitimacy of climate refugees.
It’s not the first time he has denied the climate issue at an international event, but this time it’s harsh. He refused to recognize any scientific consensus and collaborate with any country to solve problems.
He said that the United States should not be bound by “environmental lies” to develop, his words left no room and completely cut off the bridge with mainstream international consensus.
The atmosphere at the scene completely dropped to freezing point. There is monologue on stage, and silence off the stage. There was no laughter, no applause, not even a deliberate boo.
At this moment, the international community has not chosen conflict, but has cleared borders with silence.
More than a battlefield.
The climate issue is over. The conflict in Ukraine was pushed to the speech table.He did not name Putin, did not mention Moscow, and all the accusations were spread to Europe, he accused Germany and Italy of “continuing to buy Russian energy.” He accused the European Union of “hypocritical aid to Ukraine, real enemy,” and accused NATO of “spending more money but doing less.”
This speech changed the expressions of many representatives of NATO member states. Especially Poland and Lithuania, Representatives who were preparing to discuss war zone cooperation issues with the United States at a later meeting made low-head notes.
Trump has previously declared that if he regains power, he will end the war in Ukraine within 24 hours.This time, he did not repeat this statement, but avoided the causes and process of the war in his speech, avoided Russian attacks and directed all the arguments to the Western world.
He said the U.S. “will firmly stand behind Israel” and will not accept any criticism of Israel, and will not accept any suggestions for “dialogue with Hamas.” He criticized the "two-state solution summit" led by France and Saudi Arabia by name., calling it "rewarding terrorism".
This speech sparked the collective cold eye of some Middle Eastern delegations.。The Saudi delegation did not respond on the spot, while the representative of the French delegation bowed his head and was expressionless all the way, and did not make any eye contact with the US.
During the speech, Trump said the UN’s condemnation of Israel’s actions was “helping Hamas,” a speech that spread in the local area of the meeting place. Representatives from Egypt, Jordan, and Qatar did not speak, but were tense.
Within two hours of the speech, the U.S. delegation arranged a closed-door bilateral meeting with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy as participants. The news was released after the meeting saying, Trump said he "will fully support Ukraine's recovery of all lost land" and will "strengthen NATO coordination".
The foreign public opinion quickly captured this shift.In the speech, refrain from talking about Russia and attacking Europe, but after the speech announced support for a comprehensive counterattack on Ukraine. In contrast, the attitude is huge, the signal is chaotic.。
In their reports on the evening of the same day, several western media used "diplomatic improvisation" and "erratic policy" to describe the turning point of the talks.
On the Gaza issue, Trump's statement has not been revised。He repeated on several occasions his statement of “unconditional support for Israel” and thoroughly delineated the boundaries with the promoters of the “Two-State Plan.”
This not only intensified the contradiction with France, but also caused strong resentment among Arab countries.
During the same period, several countries have announced their recognition of the Palestinian state at the UN General Assembly, which is in sharp contrast to Trump’s unilateral remarks. At a time when most countries were moving toward balance and multilateralism, he chose to stand on the opposite side, with no concessions and zero cooperation.
The speech has not yet ended, and the sidelines talks of several diplomatic delegations have been suspended in advance.The subsequent informal exchanges have significantly reduced U.S. participation.
The whole speech did not propose a solution, did not talk about a coordinated path, did not give any reference to war negotiations.。 Only accusations, only statements, only confrontations.
On the stage is the thrill, and on the floor is the diplomatic withdrawal.This contrast is clear in every picture.
United Nations Attack and Global Cold Field
The speech comes at the end. Trump suddenly mentioned his experience when he entered the venue.He talked about the escalator stopping and the teleprompter on the podium failing. He spread out his hands and asked the United Nations, "Do you want to solve the world problems if you can't even handle the equipment?"
He interpreted a mechanical accident as a systemic problem; he mocked the United Nations as “excessively inefficient,” mocked it as “managing chaos,” and again concentrated firepower on the multilateral agency itself. He accused the United Nations of “failing to solve a war for decades,” describing it as a “only cost-effective arrangement.”
He said the United States should no longer pay unconditionally to the United Nations, saying it “has no meaning” if the United Nations cannot “reflect American leadership.”
Off-court representatives' expressions gradually stiffen. The Secretary-General was not present, but the permanent representatives of many countries obviously no longer hide their emotions. Some people closed their eyes and bowed their heads, while others sat forward and looked unhappy. This time it's not silence, but the collective no longer concealed its coldness。
Subsequently, the United Nations issued a statement saying that the escalator failure and teleprompter interruption were all due to "accidental contact of equipment and external access problems", and the responsibility was not in the technical department of the United Nations, but in Trump's accompanying team. The White House did not deny this statement, nor did it speak out again on the equipment issue.
But Trump has used this topic to accomplish the preset purpose. He used the United Nations as a target, hammering it and making noises. He did not put forward any constructive reform suggestions, and did not give a position on peacekeeping, humanitarian and development issues.
Thro his speech, he never used words such as “co-operation”, “co-ordination”, “joint efforts” and all expressions were output, inference, and denial.
He portrayed the United States as a giant “binding hands and feet” by international mechanisms, claiming that the United States had been “sacrificed too much” in the past. He said that he should "restore the right to free decision-making" and "redefine the right to speak internationally".
At the United Nations’ home stage, he transformed himself into a “outsider” and demonstrated his ideas to the world in a gesture of confrontation. This speech, from beginning to end, rarely mentions the UN Charter and does not mention the global governance framework.
On the podium of the United Nations, all he talked about was the United States, and that the United States should no longer be responsible for others and be dragged down by the world.
Even if he ended up with a phrase "We are willing to help a country that is ready" he failed to restore the low atmospheric pressure inside the whole pitch. There was no warm response, no delayed applause. The majority of the representatives quietly stood up and prepared to leave the pitch.
This silence does not mean consensus, but distance.
The moment of leadership collapse.
Just after the speech, the British "Guardian" commented directly in its editorial column: "The United States is no longer capable of leading the world, whether in strength or direction." The article pointed out that what this speech exposed was not policy differences, but Total breakdown of international awareness。
The French newspaper, citing diplomats, said: “This speech is like a campaign show, the place is wrong, the audience is wrong, the tone is wrong.”
A spokesman for the Council of Europe said that evening that the EU would not accept a “threatening diplomatic tone.” Multilateralism is not constraints, but guarantees.”
A United Nations climate official said in an interview after his speech, “To deny the climate crisis is to deny reality.”
Internal media reviews in the U.S. are not consistent. Trump says he is “courageous,” “direct” and “returning to America’s position”, and most mainstream media believe that he has abandoned the basis of dialogue with other countries in the world.
This speech did not produce applause, but it caused a chain reaction, not an escalation of conflict but a collapse of trust.
Commentators from many countries believe that Trump's speech not only failed to provide direction, but replaced rationality with emotion, turning one of the highest diplomatic occasions in the world into an election platform. This is not an ordinary diplomatic speech, but a real picture of the loosening of global leadership structures.
After listening to the audience, no one refuted, applauded or supported. This kind of silence, on occasions like the United Nations, is already the loudest warning.
