“I really feel very pleased to be up right here with you nonetheless, and that method you converse extra from the center. I can solely say that whoever is working this teleprompter is in massive bother.
Good day, Madam First Girl. Thanks very a lot for being right here. And Madam President, Mr. Secretary Common, First Girl of america, distinguished delegates, ambassadors, and world leaders.
Six years have handed since I final stood on this grand corridor and addressed a world that was affluent and at peace. In my first time period since that day, the weapons of conflict have shattered the peace I solid on two continents. An period of calm and stability gave approach to one of many nice crises of our time.
And right here in america, 4 years of weak point, lawlessness, and radicalism below the final administration delivered our nation right into a repeated set of disasters. One 12 months in the past, our nation was in serious trouble. However in the present day, simply eight months into my administration, we’re the most well liked nation anyplace on the planet, and there’s no different nation even shut.
America is blessed with the strongest economic system, the strongest borders, the strongest navy, the strongest friendships, and the strongest spirit of any nation on the face of the earth. That is certainly the golden age of America. We’re quickly reversing the financial calamity that we inherited from the earlier administration, together with ruinous value will increase and record-setting inflation— inflation like we’ve by no means had earlier than.
Below my management, power prices are down, gasoline costs are down, grocery costs are down, mortgage charges are down, and inflation has been defeated. The one factor that is up is the inventory market, which simply hit a report excessive. Actually, it hit a report excessive 48 instances within the final quick time frame. Development is surging, manufacturing is booming. The inventory market, as I mentioned, is doing higher than it’s ever carried out. And all of you on this room profit by that.
Virtually all people, and importantly employees, wages are rising on the quickest tempo in additional than 60 years. And that’s what it’s all about, isn’t it? In 4 years of President Biden, we had lower than $1 trillion of recent funding into america. In simply eight months since I took workplace, we’ve got secured commitments and cash already paid for $17 trillion. Consider it—4 years, lower than a trillion. Eight months, way more than $17 trillion is being invested in america, and it’s now pouring in from all elements of the world.
We’ve carried out the biggest tax cuts in American historical past and the biggest regulation cuts in American historical past, making this as soon as once more the most effective nation on earth to do enterprise. Most of the individuals on this room are investing in America, and it’s turned out to be an awfully good funding throughout this eight-month interval.
In my first time period, I constructed the best economic system within the historical past of the world. We had the most effective economic system ever. And I’m doing the identical factor once more, however this time it’s really a lot greater and even higher. The numbers far surpass my record-setting first time period.
On our southern border, we’ve got efficiently repelled a colossal invasion. For the final 4 months, that’s 4 months in a row, the variety of unlawful aliens admitted and coming into our nation has been zero. Exhausting to imagine, as a result of for those who look again only a 12 months in the past, it was hundreds of thousands and hundreds of thousands of individuals pouring in from all around the world—from prisons, from psychological establishments, drug sellers all around the world. They got here. They simply poured into our nation with the ridiculous open-border coverage of the Biden administration.
Our message could be very easy: for those who come illegally into america, you’re going to jail, otherwise you’re going again to the place you got here from, or even perhaps additional than that— what meaning. I need to thank the nation of El Salvador for the profitable {and professional} job they’ve carried out in receiving and jailing so many criminals that entered our nation. It was below the earlier administration that the quantity grew to become record-setting, and so they’re all being taken out.
Now we have no alternative, and different nations don’t have any alternative as a result of different nations are in the very same scenario with immigration. It’s destroying your nation, and it’s a must to do one thing about it on the world stage.
America is revered once more, prefer it has by no means been revered earlier than. Take into consideration two years in the past, three years in the past, 4 years in the past, and even one 12 months in the past—we had been a laughingstock all around the world.
On the NATO Summit in June, nearly all NATO members formally dedicated to extend protection spending, at my request, from 2% to five% of GDP, making our alliance far stronger and extra highly effective than it was ever earlier than.
In Might, I traveled to the Center East to go to my pals and rebuild our partnerships within the Gulf. These valued relationships with Saudi Arabia, Qatar, the UAE, and different nations at the moment are, I imagine, nearer than ever earlier than.
My administration has negotiated one historic commerce deal after one other, together with with the UK, the European Union, Japan, South Korea, Vietnam, Indonesia, the Philippines, Malaysia, and plenty of, many others. Likewise, in a interval of simply seven months, I’ve ended seven unenviable wars. They mentioned they had been unenviable, that you simply’d by no means get them solved. Some had been occurring for 31 years, two of them 31. One was 36 years, one was 28 years. I ended seven wars, and in all instances, they had been raging with numerous hundreds of individuals being killed.
This consists of Cambodia and Thailand, Kosovo and Serbia, the Congo and Rwanda, a vicious, violent conflict that was Pakistan and India, Israel and Iran, Egypt and Ethiopia, Armenia and Azerbaijan. It included all of them. No president, no prime minister, and for that matter, no different nation has ever carried out something near that—and I did it in simply seven months. It is by no means occurred earlier than. It’s by no means been something like that. I’m very honored to have carried out it.
It’s too unhealthy that I needed to do this stuff as an alternative of the United Nations doing them. Sadly, in all instances, the United Nations didn’t even attempt to assist. I ended seven wars, handled the leaders of every one in all these nations, and by no means even acquired a telephone name from the United Nations providing to assist finalize the deal. All I received from the United Nations was an escalator that, on the way in which up, stopped proper within the center. If the First Girl wasn’t in nice form, she would have fallen—however she’s in nice form. We’re each in good condition. We each stood. After which a teleprompter didn’t work. These are the 2 issues I received from the United Nations: a nasty escalator and a nasty teleprompter.
Thanks very a lot. And by the way in which, it’s working now. Simply went on. Thanks. I feel I ought to simply do it the opposite method—it’s simpler. Thanks very a lot.
I didn’t consider it on the time as a result of I used to be too busy working to avoid wasting hundreds of thousands of lives—that’s, the saving and stopping of those wars. However later, I spotted that the United Nations wasn’t there for us. They weren’t there. I considered it actually after the very fact, not throughout these negotiations, which weren’t straightforward. That being the case, what’s the objective of the United Nations?
The UN has such super potential. I’ve all the time mentioned it. It has such super, super potential. Nevertheless it’s not even coming near residing as much as that potential—for essentially the most half, at the least for now. All they appear to do is write a strongly worded letter after which by no means observe it up. It’s empty phrases, and empty phrases don’t resolve conflict. The one factor that solves conflict is motion.
After ending all of those wars, and likewise earlier negotiating the Abraham Accords—which is a really massive factor for which our nation acquired no credit score, by no means receives credit score—everybody says that I ought to get the Nobel Peace Prize for every one in all these achievements. However for me, the actual prize is the little children who lived to develop up with their moms and dads as a result of hundreds of thousands of persons are not being killed in countless and gloriously harmful wars. What I care about just isn’t successful prizes—it’s saving lives. We saved hundreds of thousands and hundreds of thousands of lives with the seven wars, and we’ve got others that we’re engaged on.
A few years in the past, a really profitable actual property developer in New York, often called Donald J. Trump, bid on the renovation and rebuilding of this very United Nations advanced. I bear in mind it so effectively. I mentioned on the time that I’d do it for $500 million—rebuilding every little thing superbly. I talked about marble flooring; they had been going to present you terrazzo. I mentioned I’d provide the better of every little thing. You had been going to have mahogany partitions; they had been going to present you plastic.
However they determined to go in one other path, which was way more costly on the time and really produced a far inferior product. I spotted they didn’t know what they had been doing when it got here to building, that their constructing ideas had been so improper, and the product they had been proposing to construct was so unhealthy and dear it was going to value them a fortune. And I mentioned, wait until you see the overruns. Properly, I turned out to be proper—they’d large value overruns and spent between $2 and $4 billion on the constructing, and didn’t even get the marble flooring that I promised them. You stroll onto Rasa, you discover that, so far as I’m involved, they nonetheless haven’t completed the job.
The challenge was so corrupt that Congress really requested me to testify earlier than them on the super waste of cash. That they had no concept what it was however knew it was anyplace between $2 and $4 billion, versus $500 million with a assure. I mentioned it value way more than $5 billion. Sadly, many issues within the United Nations are taking place identical to that—however on an excellent a lot greater scale, a lot, a lot greater. It’s very unhappy to see whether or not the UN can handle to play a productive position.
I’ve come right here in the present day to supply the hand of American management and friendship to any nation on this meeting keen to hitch us in forging a safer, extra affluent world. It’s a world that might be a lot happier, and a dramatically higher future is inside our attain. However to get there, we should reject the failed approaches of the previous and work collectively to confront among the best threats in historical past.
There is no such thing as a extra critical hazard to our planet in the present day than essentially the most highly effective and harmful weapons ever devised by man. The US, as , has many. Simply as I did in my first time period, I’ve made containing these threats a high precedence, beginning with the nation of Iran. My place could be very easy: the world’s primary sponsor of terror can by no means be allowed to own essentially the most harmful weapon.
Shortly after taking workplace, I despatched the so-called Supreme Chief a letter making a beneficiant provide. I prolonged a pledge of full cooperation in trade for a suspension of Iran’s nuclear program. The regime’s reply was to proceed their fixed threats to their neighbors and U.S. pursuits all through the area.
At the moment, a lot of Iran’s former navy commanders, actually nearly all of them, are not with us—they’re useless. Three months in the past, in Operation Midnight Hammer, seven American B-2 bombers dropped fourteen 30,000-pound bombs on Iran’s key nuclear services, completely obliterating every little thing. No different nation on earth may have carried out what we did. No different nation has the gear to do what we did. Now we have the best weapons on earth. We hate to make use of them, however we did one thing that, for 22 years, individuals needed to do: Iran’s nuclear enrichment capability demolished. I instantly brokered an finish to the 12-day conflict between Israel and Iran, with either side agreeing to struggle no additional.
Combat not. As everybody is aware of, I’ve additionally been deeply engaged in in search of a ceasefire in Gaza. Now we have to get that carried out—we’ve got to get it carried out. Sadly, Hamas has repeatedly rejected cheap gives to make peace. We won’t neglect October seventh, can we?
Now, as if to encourage continued battle, a few of this physique is in search of to unilaterally acknowledge a Palestinian state. The rewards can be too nice for Hamas terrorists for his or her atrocities. This could be a reward for these horrible atrocities, together with October seventh. Even whereas they refused to launch the hostages or settle for a ceasefire, as an alternative of giving in to Hamas and giving a lot as a result of they’ve taken a lot—they’ve taken a lot—this might have been solved so way back.
However as an alternative of giving in to Hamas’s ransom calls for, those that need peace must be united with one message: launch the hostages now. Simply launch the hostages now.
Now we have received to come back collectively, and we’ll come collectively. We’re going to get it carried out. Now we have to cease the conflict in Gaza instantly. Now we have to get it carried out. Now we have to barter instantly. Now we have to barter peace. We’ve received to get the hostages again. We would like all 20 again. We don’t need two or 4.
As , I received together with Steve Witkoff and others who helped us. Marco Rubio—we received most of them again. We had been concerned in all of them. However I all the time mentioned the final 20 are going to be the toughest—and that’s precisely what occurred. Now we have to get them again now. We don’t need to get again two, then one, then three in a sluggish course of. No, we would like all of them again. And we would like the 38 useless our bodies returned to their dad and mom shortly and respectfully, as if they had been alive. They need them—they need them very badly.
I’ve additionally been working relentlessly to cease the killing in Ukraine. I assumed that will be one of many seven wars I ended. I assumed that will be the best due to my relationship with President Putin, which had all the time been one. I assumed it was going to be the best one. However in conflict, you by no means know what’s going to occur. There are all the time a number of surprises, each good and unhealthy.
Everybody thought Russia would win this conflict in three days, however it didn’t work out that method. It was imagined to be only a fast little skirmish. It’s not making Russia look good—it’s making them look unhealthy, it doesn’t matter what occurs from right here on out. This was one thing that ought to have taken a matter of days, actually lower than every week. And so they’ve been combating for 3 and a half years, killing anyplace from 5,000 to 7,000 younger troopers, totally on either side, each single week, with further deaths in cities the place rockets are shot and drones are dropped.
This conflict would by no means have began if I had been president. It exhibits what management—or unhealthy management—can do to a rustic. Have a look at what occurred to america and the place we’re proper now in only a quick time frame. The one query now could be: what number of extra lives might be needlessly misplaced on either side?
China and India are the first funders of the continued conflict by persevering with to buy Russian oil. Even NATO nations haven’t lower off a lot Russian power and Russian power merchandise, which, as , I came upon about two weeks in the past—and I wasn’t pleased. Consider it—they’re funding the conflict in opposition to themselves. Who the hell ever heard of that one?
Within the occasion that Russia just isn’t able to make a deal to finish the conflict, america is totally ready to impose a really robust spherical of tariffs, which I imagine would cease the bloodshed in a short time. However for these tariffs to be efficient, European nations—all of you gathered right here proper now—must be a part of us in adopting the very same measures. You’re a lot nearer to this battle than we’re. Europe has to step it up. They will’t proceed shopping for oil and fuel from Russia whereas combating Russia. It’s embarrassing to them—and it was very embarrassing once I came upon about it. They’ve to right away stop all power purchases from Russia. In any other case, we’re losing numerous time.
I’m prepared to debate this. We’re going to debate it in the present day with the European nations gathered right here. I like to talk my thoughts and converse the reality.
As we search to scale back the specter of harmful weapons, in the present day I’m additionally calling on each nation to hitch us in ending the event of organic weapons as soon as and for all. Organic weapons are horrible, and nuclear weapons are much more harmful. We need to have a cessation of the event of nuclear weapons.
We all know, and I do know, and I get to view it on a regular basis—these are weapons so highly effective that we simply can’t ever use them. If we ever used them, the world actually may come to an finish. There can be no United Nations to speak about. There can be nothing. Only a few years in the past, reckless experiments abroad gave us a devastating international pandemic. But, regardless of that worldwide disaster, many nations proceed extraordinarily dangerous analysis into bioweapons and man-made pathogens. That is unbelievably harmful.
To stop potential disasters, I’m saying in the present day that my administration will lead a global effort to implement the Organic Weapons Conference, which goes to be assembly with the highest leaders of the world by pioneering an age verification system that everybody can belief. Hopefully, the UN can play a constructive position, and it’ll even be one of many early tasks below AI. Let’s see how good it’s, as a result of lots of people are saying it may very well be one of many best issues ever. It additionally could be harmful, however it may be put to super use and super good—and this may be an instance of that.
Not solely is the UN not fixing the issues it ought to, typically it’s really creating new issues for us to resolve. The most effective instance is the primary political situation of our time: the disaster of uncontrolled migration. It’s uncontrolled. Your nations are being ruined. The United Nations is funding an assault on Western nations and their borders.
In 2024, the UN budgeted $372 million in money help to help an estimated 624,000 migrants journeying into america. Consider that—the UN is supporting individuals illegally coming into america, after which we’ve got to take away them. The UN additionally offered meals, shelter, transportation, and debit playing cards to unlawful aliens. Are you able to imagine it? Hundreds of thousands of individuals got here via our southern border only a 12 months in the past—hundreds of thousands and hundreds of thousands—25 million altogether over the 4 years of the incompetent Biden administration. And now we’ve got it stopped. Completely stopped. Actually, they’re not even coming anymore as a result of they know they will’t get via.
However what passed off is completely unacceptable. The UN is meant to cease invasions, not create them and never finance them. In america, we reject the concept that mass numbers of individuals from international lands could be permitted to journey midway around the globe, trample our borders, violate our sovereignty, trigger unmitigated crime, and deplete our social security internet. Now we have reasserted that America belongs to the American individuals, and I encourage all nations to take their very own stand in protection of their residents as effectively.
I see it taking place. I’m not mentioning names, however your nations are being destroyed. Europe is in deep trouble. They’ve been invaded by a drive of unlawful aliens like no person has ever seen earlier than. Unlawful aliens are pouring into Europe. No person has carried out something to cease it. It’s not sustainable. And since they select to be politically appropriate, they’re doing completely nothing about it.
I take a look at London, the place you may have a horrible mayor—it’s been so modified. Now they need to go to Sharia regulation, however you’re in a special nation—you possibly can’t try this. Each the immigration and their suicidal power insurance policies would be the loss of life of Western Europe. If one thing just isn’t carried out instantly, this can’t be sustained.
What makes the world stunning is that every nation is exclusive. However to remain this manner, each sovereign nation should have the correct to manage its personal borders. You may have the correct to manage your borders, as we do now, and to restrict the sheer numbers of migrants coming into your nations, paid for by the individuals of that nation who constructed that nation with their blood, sweat, tears, and cash. Proud nations have to be allowed to guard their communities and stop their societies from being overwhelmed by individuals they’ve by no means seen earlier than, with totally different customs, religions, and methods of life.
The place migrants have violated legal guidelines, lodged false asylum claims, or claimed refugee standing for illegitimate causes, they need to, in lots of instances, be instantly despatched house. Whereas we’ll all the time have a giant coronary heart for locations and folks which are struggling and really compassionate, options have to be carried out of their nations—not create new issues in ours.
Now we have been very useful to many nations which are unable to ship their individuals again. They used to ship them to us in caravans of 25,000–30,000 individuals every—large caravans pouring into our nation, completely unchecked and unvetted. However not anymore.
In line with the Council of Europe, in 2024 nearly 50% of inmates in German prisons had been international nationals or migrants. In Austria, the quantity was 53%. In Greece, 54%. In Switzerland, 72%. When your prisons are stuffed with so-called asylum seekers who repay kindness with crime, it’s time to finish the failed experiment of open borders. It’s important to finish it now.
I can inform you, I’m actually good at these items. Your nations are going to hell—America acted boldly to swiftly shut down uncontrolled migration. As soon as we began detaining and deporting everybody who crossed the border illegally, they merely stopped coming. They’re not coming anymore. We’re getting credit score for it—however this was a humanitarian act for all concerned. On the journey up, hundreds of individuals every week had been dying; ladies had been being raped. No person has ever seen something prefer it.
The journey was lengthy and arduous, loaded with loss of life alongside roads and thru jungles—so scorching individuals couldn’t breathe, suffocating, useless our bodies all alongside the way in which. What we did was a historic victory in opposition to human trafficking. We saved numerous lives of people that wouldn’t make the journey. My individuals have carried out a implausible job, and the American public agrees. I used to be proud this morning to see I’ve the very best ballot numbers I’ve ever had—partly due to what we’ve carried out on the border and partly due to what we’ve carried out on the economic system.
Joe Biden’s insurance policies empowered murderous gangs, human smugglers, youngster traffickers, drug cartels, and prisoners from all around the world. The earlier administration additionally misplaced almost 300,000 kids—little kids trafficked into america, many raped, exploited, abused, and bought. No person talks about that.
Now we have discovered numerous these kids and are returning them to their dad and mom. The dad and mom rush to the door, tears of their eyes, unable to imagine they’re seeing their son or daughter once more. We’ve carried out nearly 30,000 of them to this point. Any system that leads to the trafficking of youngsters is inherently evil. But that’s precisely what the globalist migration agenda has carried out. These days are over.
The Trump administration is continuous to trace down the villains inflicting this drawback and returning the kids we’ve already discovered. We’re additionally taking motion in opposition to drug cartels. Fewer individuals at the moment are taking giant shipments of medicine by sea—these “water medication” kill lots of of hundreds of individuals.
I’ve additionally designated a number of savage drug cartels as international terrorist organizations, together with two bloodthirsty transnational gangs—in all probability the worst gangs anyplace on the planet: MS-13 and Tren de Aragua. Tren de Aragua is from Venezuela, by the way in which. Such organizations torture, maim, mutilate, and homicide with impunity. They’re the enemies of all humanity.
Because of this, we’ve lately begun utilizing the supreme energy of america navy to destroy Venezuelan terrorists and trafficking networks led by Nicolás Maduro, focusing on each terrorist thug smuggling toxic medication into america of America. Please be warned: we’ll blow you out of existence. That’s what we’re doing. Now we have no alternative. We will’t let it occur. They’re destroying lives. I imagine we misplaced 300,000 individuals final 12 months to medication—fentanyl and different medication. Every boat we sink carries medication that will kill greater than 25,000 People. We won’t let that occur.
Power is one other space the place america is now thriving like by no means earlier than. We’re eliminating the falsely named “renewables.” By the way in which, they’re a joke. They don’t work, they’re too costly, and so they’re not robust sufficient to fireside up the crops that that you must make your nation nice. These massive windmills are so pathetic, so unhealthy, so costly to function, and so they need to be rebuilt on a regular basis—they begin to rust and decay. It’s the costliest power ever conceived. You’re imagined to become profitable with power, not lose it. You may’t function these programs with out large subsidies, and most of them are in-built China.
I give China credit score—they construct them, although they very not often use them. They use coal, fuel, nearly something—however not wind. They positive like promoting windmills, although. Europe, alternatively, has an extended approach to go, with many nations being getting ready to destruction due to the inexperienced power agenda. I give numerous credit score to Germany. Germany was being led down a really sick path—each on immigration and on power. They had been going inexperienced and going bankrupt. However new management got here in, reverted to fossil fuels and nuclear power, and opened up many power crops. They’re doing effectively. I give Germany numerous credit score for that.
In America, we’ve additionally strengthened public security. New York Metropolis feels safer. Crime is down. Washington, D.C., was the crime capital of America, however now, after 12 days of motion, it’s a very protected metropolis. Everybody can exit to dinner, stroll freely, and luxuriate in eating places. My individuals have carried out a implausible job. We eliminated 1,700 profession criminals—sending them again to their nations or placing them in jail.
Concerning power and sources, nations just like the UK have untapped property, together with super oil reserves within the North Sea. I inspired them to make use of these property as an alternative of destroying landscapes with windmills and photo voltaic panels. Inexperienced power insurance policies have induced monumental financial harm globally. The carbon footprint is a hoax created by individuals with evil intentions. Regardless of sacrifices in Europe, international emissions proceed to rise, primarily from China and different creating nations. The so-called local weather insurance policies redistribute wealth whereas harming developed nations.
The US, below my administration, has unleashed large power manufacturing, together with oil, fuel, and coal—clear and delightful coal. We stand prepared to offer any nation with ample, reasonably priced power if wanted. Commerce and power insurance policies have to be truthful and reciprocal. International locations that beforehand exploited the U.S. via tariffs at the moment are going through penalties. We defend our sovereignty and residents in opposition to unfair practices worldwide, together with actions by the Biden administration.
Subsequent 12 months, america will have fun the 250th anniversary of independence, and we’ll host the 2026 FIFA World Cup and the 2028 Olympics. These might be celebrations of liberty and human achievement, reflecting the enduring energy and spirit of our nation. I hope all nations impressed by our instance will take part renewing commitments to free speech, spiritual liberty, sovereignty, and nationwide traditions.
In closing, immigration and the excessive value of so-called inexperienced renewable power are destroying a big a part of the free world. Sturdy borders and conventional power sources are important for nations to thrive. Each chief on this corridor represents a proud heritage, wealthy tradition, and noble historical past. Our ancestors constructed nations with braveness, energy, and ability. It’s now our obligation to guard our residents, protect our cultures, and safeguard freedoms. Collectively, we will construct a vivid, stunning planet—a world richer, safer, and extra affluent than ever earlier than.
Thanks very a lot. It’s been an honor. God bless the nations of the world.”
