US EditionTrump hits Russia, backs Israel in wide-ranging UN speech
Trump threatened strong economic sanctions on Russia over Ukraine and opposed Palestinian state recognition, urging allies to join US measures, officials said.
- On Tuesday, US President Donald Trump warned Russia he will impose strong tariffs if it does not end the Ukraine war and rejected recognition of a Palestinian state, aligning with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
- Trump's return to power has been marked by a shift to an unapologetic America First posture, including sharp foreign aid cuts and distancing from traditional United Nations alliances.
- In his roughly hour-long remarks, President Donald Trump gave a grievance-filled 56-minute speech, quipping `These are the two things I got from the United Nations- a bad escalator and a bad teleprompter`, noting Melania Trump nearly fell.
- He scheduled meetings later that day with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy and Gulf leaders to discuss the wars and Gaza, while warning tariffs on Russia need European nations to join.
- On the wider stage, President Donald Trump's rejection of Palestinian statehood aligns the U.S. with Israel but clashes with allies like France, while his dismissal of climate and migration risks weakening UN priorities.
