Deep Look:
Trump Tells UN: ‘Open Borders Are Sending Your Countries to Hell’ in Explosive General Assembly Speech
UNITED NATIONS — U.S. President Donald Trump used his appearance at the 80th United Nations General Assembly on Tuesday to launch a fierce attack on the global body and what he called the “failed experiment of open borders.” In one of the most combative speeches of his presidency, Trump blamed the UN for exacerbating international migration crises, funding illegal immigration, and undermining national sovereignty.
“Your countries are going to hell,” Trump warned delegates. “It’s time to end the failed experiment of open borders. You have to end it now.”
His comments drew little immediate reaction from world leaders, but the message was clear: Trump views multilateralism and liberal immigration policies as existential threats to Western civilization.
Immigration and “Invasion” Rhetoric
Trump claimed Europe is on the brink of collapse due to what he called an “invasion” of illegal immigrants, blaming global inaction and political correctness.
“Europe is in serious trouble. They’ve been invaded by illegal aliens like nobody’s ever seen before,” he said. “And nobody’s doing anything to change it.”
He also argued the United Nations has become a contributor to these crises, accusing it of using taxpayer funds to support migration flows.
“The UN is supposed to stop invasions, not create them and not finance them,” Trump added, asserting that migrant assistance is essentially subsidizing illegal border crossings.
“America Belongs to Americans”
Trump reasserted his America First immigration policy, citing crime, sovereignty violations, and strain on social services as consequences of unregulated migration.
“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,” he said.
He urged other countries to adopt similar policies:
“I encourage all countries to take their own stand in defense of their citizens.”
UN Accused of Fueling Migration
In one of his boldest claims, Trump accused the UN of actively funding the migration crisis, saying it provides food, housing, transportation, and even “debit cards to illegal aliens.”
“The United Nations is funding an assault on Western countries and their borders,” he said, adding, “Not only is the UN not solving the problems it should, too often it’s creating new ones.”
Military Warnings and “Blow You Out of Existence” Remarks
Trump used part of his speech to highlight his administration’s military crackdown on drug cartels and terrorist-linked organizations, particularly in Latin America.
“We’ve begun using the supreme power of the United States military to destroy Venezuelan terrorists and trafficking networks,” Trump declared, referring to operations against Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro’s regime.
Addressing traffickers directly, Trump warned:
“We will blow you out of existence.”
Earlier this month, a U.S. military strike killed 11 people allegedly tied to Venezuela’s Tren de Aragua cartel. Trump announced a second strike just days ago against a trafficking vessel in international waters.
Climate and Energy: Trump Dismisses Green Energy
Trump also attacked renewable energy, calling it a “green energy scam” and falsely claiming that solar and wind power are more expensive than fossil fuels.
“We don’t want cows anymore. I guess they want to kill all the cows,” Trump said, veering off-topic.
In reality, multiple independent energy reports confirm that renewables are now the cheapest form of new energy generation in the United States, even without tax subsidies.
According to Energy Innovation, Trump’s efforts to revive fossil fuels will raise consumer energy costs by up to 14% in red states like Missouri, Kentucky, and South Carolina by 2035.
AI-Led Biological Weapons Monitoring
In a surprising turn, Trump announced a new international initiative to enforce the Biological Weapons Convention (BWC) through a global AI-powered verification system.
“As we seek to reduce the threat of dangerous weapons today, I’m calling on every nation to end the development of biological weapons once and for all,” Trump said.
He warned about the existential danger of modern weapons:
“If we ever use them, the world might literally come to an end. There would be no United Nations to talk about.”
Off-Script and Over Time
Trump’s speech quickly became unstructured, with digressions about:
- His efforts to reduce crime in U.S. cities
- Former President Barack Obama’s carbon footprint
- His struggles to renovate the UN headquarters
- The efficacy of windmills and the fate of cows
He exceeded the typical 15-minute speech limit for UN leaders, at one point joking backstage about meeting Brazilian President Lula da Silva — drawing a few laughs but little applause from the largely subdued crowd.
Trump vs. the World: A Familiar Clash
While many world leaders have used the 2025 General Assembly to promote multilateral cooperation, Trump’s speech echoed the themes of his first term: sovereignty, strength, and self-reliance.
Despite criticism from international observers and climate scientists, Trump’s unapologetic tone remains popular among his base, especially on immigration and border policy.
“I’m really good at this stuff,” Trump told the assembly. “Your countries are being ruined. You know it. It’s time to fight back.”
