In remarks the source attributes to President Donald J. Trump at the 81st session of the United Nations General Assembly, Trump declared “America is back” and said, “While others have talked, I have acted.” He rejected “global government,” vowed “there will be no global taxes,” and claimed U.S. military action against drug cartels.
‘America is back’
“Two and a half centuries after the cause of liberty found its home on this continent, I can report to you with pride that America is back, and our country is stronger today than ever before,” Trump said, according to the source text. He added, “While others have talked, I have acted… While others have promised strength, I have used it to make America the most powerful country in the world.”
Iran and regional threats
Calling Iran “the number one sponsor of terror,” Trump said, “I will never allow Iran to have a nuclear weapon.” He referenced the 25th anniversary of Sept. 11 and said that in two weeks the third anniversary of the Oct. 7 attack in Israel would be marked, asserting that “terrorists funded by Iran” killed 1,200 civilians, including Americans. He said Iran’s Supreme Leader “celebrated that massacre and called it a ‘service to humanity,’” and alleged the regime “slaughtered over 72,000 of its citizens this year; recently, 10,000 were killed for protesting.” These statements were presented in the source as Trump’s claims.
Western Hemisphere, Cuba, and cartels
Trump said the United States “will no longer permit threats to America to gain a foothold anywhere in the Western Hemisphere” and pledged to use “our unmatched military might” if needed. He alleged the Cuban regime has coordinated with “left-wing radicals and communist networks” in the United States, citing ties to groups he named as “the Communist Party USA, Antifa, and the Dumocrat Socialists of America.”
On drug cartels, Trump said that upon taking office he “designated the drug cartels as Foreign Terrorist Organizations and unleashed the United States Armed Forces to eliminate them.” He claimed the United States has conducted “dozens of strikes on cartel drug boats,” destroying “97% of the drugs coming in to the ocean and sea,” and said “three months ago, we terminated the leader of the Venezuelan gang Tren de Aragua.” The source provides these as Trump’s assertions.
U.N. criticism, borders, and sovereignty
Trump criticized U.N. human rights officials for “criticizing the United States for protecting our children from transgender mutilization and transgender insanity and enforcing our immigration laws,” while saying they have “little to say” about persecuted Christians or “the world’s most repressive regimes.” He argued mass migration policies promoted by “globalists” were at odds with cultural preservation and said, “There is no human right to illegal immigration, but there is a right to remain a sovereign nation.”
AI and ‘global taxes’
“There is no global government — and while I am President, there will be no global taxes,” Trump said. On artificial intelligence, he said the United States “totally rejects any attempt to construct a globalist scheme of control” and proposed calling it “Super Intelligence.”
Closing note
Trump concluded that America “has never been a nation that retreats from a frontier or shrinks from a challenge,” adding, “After 250 years, it is not one that we will ever, ever, ever surrender.”
