According to Reuters, on Friday (26th) local time, United Nations spokesman Dujarric responded to the remarks made by American Fox News host Jesse Waters calling for "bombing the United Nations", saying that he was shocked by this, and the parties concerned had apologized privately.
According to reports, Waters was speaking on Tuesday (June 23) in a local time show about the elevator and vocabulary failure that U.S. President Trump suffered during the United Nations General Assembly, saying that what we need to do is either withdraw from the United Nations or bomb it."Waters said at the time, shockingly, "But [the United Nations headquarters] is in New York, right?
Diarrick said the United Nations contacted Fox News about the matter, after which Waters privately apologized to the UN Deputy Secretary-General for Global Broadcasting, Melissa Fleming.
“Calling for bombing, releasing gas, and destroying this building is neither ridiculous nor ironic.
Dujaric told reporters, "We know what will happen when the United Nations is threatened. (In the attack on the United Nations office in Baghdad) We lost our best friends in Baghdad. I have walked through the wreckage of the United Nations office in Algiers (the capital of Algeria) after it was bombed, and our colleagues in Abuja (Nigeria) have also been bombed."
Reuters said Fox News did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
On the 23rd of this month, Trump complained at the United Nations General Assembly that the elevator was broken and the vocabulary was not sound. White House news secretary Levitt said that Trump’s encounter “does not seem to be a coincidence.” To Trump and the White House, U.N. spokesman Diarrick replied on the 23rd that a photographer in the U.S. delegation could trigger the security device when taking a photo of the Trump couple on the automatic ladder, causing the ladder to stop. According to the French news agency quoted Diarrick’s report, the US said that the vocabulary failed, the United Nations “does not comment, because the presidential vocabulary is operated by the White House (person)”.
