US President Donald Trump launched a scathing attack on the United Nations during his address at the General Assembly on Tuesday, questioning its relevance, condemning its stance on refugees, and dismissing global climate initiatives as a “con job,” Stuff reported. In a speech that spanned nearly an hour, Trump accused the UN of failing its mission, saying it offered “empty words” instead of solutions to war and conflict. Despite setbacks in Gaza and Ukraine, where peace efforts remain elusive, Trump styled himself as a global peacemaker. Trump’s appearance followed Brazilian President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva, who criticised Western nations for their role in prolonging the Gaza conflict. While their positions diverged, Trump said he and Lula had a brief, cordial exchange and planned to meet next week.
