Donald Trump accused the United Nations of 'funding an assault' on the West through immigration and warned Europe is 'going to hell' in an astonishing address to the UN General Assembly on Tuesday.
The U.S. President also called for an end to 'the failed experiment of open borders' as he lauded the success of his own hard line immigration crackdown.
'The United Nations is funding an assault on Western countries and their borders,' the he said during a wide-ranging address to world leaders in New York City.
'The UN is supporting people that are illegally coming into the United States,' he said, pointing to cash support the organisation had supplied to in-need migrants.
He said the UN is supposed to protect countries from 'invasions' and 'not create them and not finance them', asserting that uncontrolled migration was the top issue of our time.
Addressing western allies he said plainly: 'Your countries are being ruined by uncontrolled immigration'.
'Europe is in serious trouble. They've been invaded by a force of illegal aliens like no-one has ever seen before. And nobody's doing anything to change it, to get them out.'
'It's not sustainable. And because they choose to be politically correct they're doing absolutely nothing about it,' he said by way of illustration.
Turning his attention to nemesis Sadiq Khan, he continued: 'I look at London where you have a terrible mayor and it's been so changed. Now they want to go to sharia law but you're in a different country, you can't do that.'
In a wandering address, he also took aim at European nations for continuing to buy Russian oil and gas, adding that he would not impose sharp sanctions on Moscow over the war in Ukraine until allies cut off their purchases.
“It’s embarrassing to them, and it was very embarrassing to them when I found out about it,” he said. “They have to immediately cease all energy purchases from Russia. Otherwise, we’re all wasting a lot of time.”
European nations have reduced imports from Russia since the February 2022 invasion, but continue to purchase gas.
On the thread of war, Trump reiterated claims he had ended seven conflicts around the world while criticising the United Nations for not offering assistance.
'What is the purpose of the United Nations?' Trump said. 'I've always said (the U.N.) has such tremendous, tremendous potential, but it's not even coming close to living up to that potential.'
'I ended seven wars, dealt with the leaders of each and every one of these countries, and never even received a phone call from the United Nations offering to help in finalising the deal.'
Trump has claimed responsibility for brokering peace deals between Armenia and Azerbaijan; Cambodia and Thailand; Israel and Iran; India and Pakistan; Rwanda and the DRC; Egypt and Ethiopia; and Serbia and Kosovo.
At the same, he heralded his decisions to order the U.S. military to carry out strikes on Iran and more recently against alleged drug smugglers from Venezuela and argued that globalists are on the verge of destroying successful nations.
