Analysis of Trump's Fiery UN Address | EWTN News Nightly

About this sermon

Speaking before the United Nations General Assembly in New York, President Donald Trump delivered a speech declaring that “America is respected again, like it has never been respected before.” While mixing moments of humor—such as jabs at a faulty teleprompter and a broken UN escalator—Trump focused heavily on serious global issues, including the wars in Ukraine and Gaza, immigration, and climate change. He criticized China and India for funding Russia’s war in Ukraine through energy purchases and scolded European nations for continuing to buy Russian oil and gas, calling it "embarrassing." On Gaza, he pushed for a ceasefire while blaming Hamas for rejecting peace. Trump also took sharp aim at the United Nations, accusing it of worsening migration issues. Lester Munson, Senior Fellow at the National Security Institute, joins to discuss what stood out to him regarding President Trump’s address and what message his allies and rivals might take away from the speech. He also offers his take on whether countries recognizing a Palestinian state would be a win for Hamas. ------------ EWTN News Nightly provides the latest news and analysis from a Catholic perspective.
