‘What Is the Purpose of the United Nations?’ Trump Asks

Not only is the U.N. not solving the problems, it should. Too often it’s actually creating new problems for us to solve. The best example is the No. 1 political issue of our time: the crisis of uncontrolled migration. It’s uncontrolled. Your countries are being ruined. It’s time to end the failed experiment of open borders. You have to end it now. I can tell you — I’m really good at this stuff. Your countries are going to hell. What is the purpose of the United Nations? The U.N. has such tremendous potential. I’ve always said it. It has such tremendous, tremendous potential. But it’s not even coming close to living up to that potential. For the most part — at least for now — all they seem to do is write a really strongly worded letter and then never follow that letter up. As everyone knows, I have also been deeply engaged in seeking a cease-fire in Gaza. Have to get that done, have to get it done. Now, as if to encourage continued conflict, some of this body is seeking to unilaterally recognize a Palestinian state. But instead of giving in to Hamas’s ransom demands, those who want peace should be united with one message: Release the hostages now. Just release the hostages now.
