Trump at UNGA 2025: Palestinian statehood, Russia’s war and China’s ambitions

President Donald Trump called on countries to be proud of their heritage in his closing remarks to the United Nations General Assembly in New York City on Tuesday morning.

Trump said that each country represented in the hall has “a noble history and a proud heritage that makes each nation majestic and unique, unlike anything else in human history or any other place on the face of the earth.”

“Our ancestors gave everything for homelands that they defended, with pride, with sweat, with blood, with life and with death. Now the righteous task of protecting the nations that they built belongs to each and every one of us. So together let us uphold our sacred duty to our people and to our citizens,” he later added.

“Let us protect their borders, ensure their safety, preserve their cultures, treasure, and traditions, and fight, fight, fight for their precious dreams and their cherished freedoms,” the president continued.

During his address, Trump criticized Europe over its high influx of immigration, saying that the continent is in “serious trouble” if it does not curb illegal immigration.

President Donald Trump cautioned that Europe is in a crisis due to an influx of illegal immigration, calling it “unsustainable.”

“The U.N. is supposed to stop invasions, not create them and not finance them,” Trump said. “In the United States, we reject the idea that mass numbers of people from foreign lands can be permitted to travel halfway around the world, trample our borders, violate our sovereignty, cause unmitigated crime, and deplete our social safety net.”
