Trump's UN Speech: Threats to Iran and Cuba, Rejection of Global Rules

President Donald Trump used his 37-minute UN General Assembly address to outline a foreign policy centered on US power and national interests, issuing threats against Iran and Cuba while rejecting international constraints. He presented Tehran with a stark choice between a deal or military action. Trump said he could "annihilate the Islamic Republic" or make a deal, expressing confidence Iran would eventually agree, while linking timing to US midterm elections. He also predicted a Ukraine peace deal would come quickly, rejected AI regulation as a "globalist scheme," and attacked the International Criminal Court. Trump promised tougher action against drug cartels, calling them "the ISIS of the Western Hemisphere," and declared Cuba a "failed state" that "will fall," prompting the Cuban delegation to walk out. He criticized the UN for imposing a "far-left agenda of globalist bureaucrats."
