At the UN General Assembly, Donald Trump says he must decide between making a “deal” with Iran or “wiping out” this country
The American President, Donald Trump, once again repeated his wish that “ Iran will never have a nuclear weapon »while he was at the podium of the General Assembly of the United Nations (UN), Tuesday September 22.
Seconds earlier, he had said he had to decide between “annihilate” Iran or spend a ” agreement “ with Tehran. “I believe we will reach an agreement right after the elections” planned for the United States in November, the American president immediately added.
Donald Trump spoke as he struggles to extricate himself from the conflict against Iran that he launched with Israel at the end of February, a war which shows signs of possible worsening and affects the distribution of oil and gas, with cascading repercussions on the global economy.
While he is due to meet Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky during the day, Donald Trump also repeated that a peace agreement between Russians and Ukrainians was close. This could occur “faster than people think”he assured, once again, even though the conflict has lasted for more than four years and he had promised during his campaign that he would put an end to it in less than twenty-four hours.
The American president also welcomed the agreement just sealed with Denmark on the future of Greenland, which must be the subject of an official signing ceremony on Tuesday. He also announced the construction of two military bases in Greenland.
“Cuba will fall”
The American president also returned to the American intervention in Venezuela, before a tête-à-tête with his interim president, Delcy Rodriguez, who has governed under strong American pressure since the capture of Nicolas Maduro by Washington in January. “We are working with Venezuelan leaders to build a better future for Venezuelans”he said.
“Cuba will fall”he then threatened, calling the island “failed state”. The Cuban representatives left the room as the American president made his threats. Donald Trump also added that Washington was holding negotiations with Havana and said: “Freedom will come to Cuba. »
Finally, Donald Trump called on all member countries of the International Criminal Court (ICC) to withdraw from this body. “The United States is equally opposed to this out-of-control institution that is the International Criminal Court”he said. “I call on all ICC member countries to formally and immediately withdraw from this out-of-control institution. »
Last year, the American president’s presentation from the podium of the General Assembly took on the appearance of a full-blown attack on the United Nations, accused of inaction when he boasted of having ended seven wars in a few months. Storming against an escalator which had broken down upon his arrival, he also castigated the migration policy of European countries and renewed his denials on climate change, “the biggest scam” of history.
