Trump Declares End to Globalist Free Ride at United Nations Address [WATCH]

President Donald Trump delivered a forceful address at the United Nations on Tuesday, declaring that the United States will not allow globalist policies to dictate its future and pledging to defend American sovereignty in energy, trade, and border security.

Speaking to world leaders, Trump said international frameworks have long placed unfair burdens on industrialized nations while giving breaks to others, leaving the United States shouldering disproportionate costs.

He singled out the Paris Climate Accord as an example, saying it was designed to weaken America’s economic strength while allowing China and Russia to avoid comparable obligations.

“The entire globalist concept of asking successful, industrialized nations to inflict pain on themselves and radically disrupt their entire societies must be rejected completely and totally, and it must be immediate,” Trump said.

“That’s why in America, I withdrew from the fake Paris Climate Accord, where by the way America was paying way more than any other country. Others weren’t paying, China didn’t have to pay until 2023. Russia was given an old standard that was easy to meet. A 1990 standard. But for the United States, we’re supposed to pay like $1 trillion. And I said, ‘this is another scam.’ The fact is the United States has been taken advantage of by the world for many, many years, but not any longer as you’ve probably noticed.”

The president formally withdrew the United States from the Paris Agreement in January through an executive order, fulfilling a campaign promise to roll back what he described as costly and ineffective climate mandates.

He told the UN the decision was aimed at protecting American workers, securing energy independence, and preventing U.S. industries from being undercut by foreign competitors who face looser restrictions.

Trump also addressed Europe’s rising energy costs, which he attributed to the continent’s dependence on restrictive climate policies and foreign energy suppliers.

He pointed to America’s domestic energy capacity as a contrast, noting that the U.S. has abundant resources.

“We have an abundant amount of clean, beautiful coal,” Trump said.

“We’re not going to destroy our own industries while others are allowed to pollute freely.”

The president then turned to border security, criticizing open-border approaches in Europe and elsewhere.

He said nations pursuing such policies are jeopardizing their own stability and warned leaders that continuing down that path will lead to greater decline.

“It’s time to end the failed experiment of open borders,” Trump said.

“You have to end it now. See, I can tell you. I’m really good at this stuff. Your countries are going to hell.”

Throughout his remarks, Trump emphasized that the United States will prioritize its own citizens and interests rather than submit to international frameworks that disadvantage the country.

He reaffirmed that his administration’s policy is rooted in rejecting globalist demands that, in his view, harm prosperous nations while letting others avoid accountability.

The address marked another moment in Trump’s longstanding criticism of multilateral agreements and international organizations.

His speech drew attention to a central theme of his presidency: that the United States will no longer bear a disproportionate share of costs for global initiatives while facing policies that he said undermine American workers and industries.

Trump’s message to the United Nations was clear: globalism, as it has been pursued for decades, has failed, and the U.S. will not return to policies that leave it vulnerable or exploited.
