Donald Trump UN Speech: US President Delivers Controversial Speech on Immigration and Climate

Liputan6.com, Jakarta Donald Trump, in his second term as US President, delivered a controversial speech at the 80th United Nations General Assembly on September 23, 2025.

The speech, held in New York, attracted global attention for its length and bold statements.

In his nearly hour-long speech, Trump bluntly criticized immigration policies, rejected the climate change narrative, and attacked the role of the United Nations.

This moment provided a platform for Trump to reaffirm his "America First" vision and challenge the existing global order.

Here are several key moments of Donald Trump's speech.

In the 2025 Trump Un-Speech, President Trump sharply highlighted the issue of global immigration, calling on other countries to halt the flow of migration.

Trump said that countries that were friendlier to immigrants than the US under his leadership were “destroying” their countries.

“They’re being destroyed. Europe is in serious trouble. They’ve been invaded by a force of illegal aliens like nobody’s ever seen before. Illegal aliens are pouring into Europe.”

Trump then referred to his administration's policies toward migrants and asylum seekers.

“You have to end it now – I can tell you. I’m really good at this stuff. Your countries are going to hell.”

“Once we started detaining and deporting everyone who crossed the border, and removing illegal aliens from the United States, they simply stopped coming,” he said.

Earlier in his speech, he also said that in “four months in a row, the number of illegal aliens admitted and entering our country has been zero”.

“I ended seven wars. And in all cases, they were raging, with countless thousands of people being killed. This includes Cambodia and Thailand, Kosovo and Serbia, the Congo and Rwanda – a vicious, violent war that was – Pakistan and India, Israel and Iran, Egypt and Ethiopia, and Armenia and Azerbaijan,” Trump said.

“There’s never been anything like that. Very honoured to have done it. It’s too bad that I had to do these things instead of the United Nations doing them,” he said.

“And sadly, in all cases, the United Nations did not even try to help in any of them… All I got from the United Nations was an escalator that, on the way up, stopped right in the middle.”

Although Trump has claimed credit for de-escalating the conflicts he mentioned, several countries have disputed his claims.

India, in particular, has publicly and repeatedly insisted that its conflict with Pakistan in May was concluded through bilateral negotiations between the militaries of its South Asian neighbors, not through US mediation.

However, Trump's supporters have dubbed him the "peace president" and argued that he deserves the Nobel Peace Prize.

Furthermore, the issue of climate change was another target of sharp criticism in his speech.

“If you look back years ago, in the 1920s and the 1930s, they said global cooling will kill the world,” Trump said.

“Then they said global warming will kill the world, but then it started getting cooler. So now, they just call it climate change because that way, they can’t miss. Climate change – because if it goes higher or lower, whatever the hell happens, there’s climate change.”

“It’s the greatest con job ever perpetrated on the world, in my opinion. Climate change, no matter what happens, you’re involved in that. No more global warming, no more global cooling. All of these predictions made by the United Nations and many others, often for bad reasons, were wrong.”

He even urged countries to return to relying on fossil fuels.
