'Your countries are going to hell' - Trump slams EU migration policy: Video
U.S. President Donald Trump has accused the United Nations body of actively financing illegal migration and undermining national sovereignty.
“Not only is the UN not solving the problems it should, too often it’s actually creating new problems,” Trump said during the United Nations General Assembly. “The best example is the number one political issue of our time, the crisis of uncontrolled migration. Your countries are being ruined.”
Trump claimed that in 2024, the UN allocated $372 million in cash assistance to support an estimated 624,000 migrants “journeying into the United States,” including food, shelter, transportation, and debit cards. “The UN is supposed to stop invasions, not create them and not finance them,” he declared.
The U.S. president argued that the U.S. southern border had been overwhelmed during the Biden administration, with “25 million” crossings in four years, before asserting that migration has now “totally stopped” under his leadership.
