Former U.S. President Donald Trump returned to the United Nations on Tuesday, blending boasts of his second-term foreign policy achievements with sharp criticism of the world body, while delivering stern warnings to Europe over migration and energy policies.<\/p>\n
Addressing the General Assembly, Trump described the UN as a \u201cfeckless institution\u201d that too often issues \u201cempty words\u201d instead of pursuing meaningful action. He said Europe risked being \u201cruined\u201d if it continued down what he called a \u201cdouble-tailed monster\u201d of ill-conceived migration strategies and dependence on green energy.<\/p>\n
The combative remarks underscored Trump\u2019s longstanding skepticism of multilateral institutions, which he has previously accused of undermining U.S. sovereignty. Yet, just hours later, in a bilateral meeting with UN Secretary-General Ant\u00f3nio Guterres, his rhetoric softened.<\/p>\n
\u201cOur country is behind the United Nations 100%,\u201d Trump told Guterres, striking a markedly different tone. \u201cI may disagree with it sometimes but I am so behind it because the potential for peace at this institution is great.\u201d<\/p>\n
The juxtaposition highlighted Trump\u2019s complex relationship with the UN an institution he has alternately criticized and embraced. His latest appearance comes as Europe grapples with political tensions over migration and faces mounting challenges in balancing climate policies with economic realities.<\/p>\n
While Trump\u2019s comments drew mixed reactions in the chamber, they underscored his continued effort to position himself as a forceful voice on global affairs.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
