Trump Criticizes UN and Global Institutions at U.N. Speech

President Trump criticized global institutions, including the United Nations, in a 56-minute speech at the U.N. General Assembly. He accused environmentalists of wanting to “kill all the cows” and claimed that climate change is a “greatest con job.” The president also questioned the purpose of the UN and its ability to address global issues. Despite this, he announced plans to enforce the biological weapons convention and support peace agreements in various conflicts. Trump’s speech was met with criticism from several U.S. allies who recognized Palestine as a state, risking their relationship with the president.

Note: I simplified the text by removing unnecessary details and focusing on the main points of President Trump’s speech at the U.N. General Assembly.
