(Bloomberg) — President Donald Trump assailed the United Nations and other countries in a grievance-laden speech that saw him accuse the world body of offering nothing but \u201cempty words,\u201d label climate change a \u201ccon job\u201d and warn that open borders are destroying them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    His closing message swept aside some of the UN\u2019s most cherished files: climate change, which Trump repeatedly called a hoax, and uncontrolled migration, which he declared the top political issue of the era.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \u201cCountries that cherish freedom are fading fast because of their policies on these two subjects. You need strong borders and traditional energy sources if you are going to be great again,\u201d Trump said Tuesday, after warning bluntly: \u201cYour countries are going to hell.<\/strong>\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    He faulted the UK and Germany over green-energy policies, and Greece and Switzerland for allowing in immigrants. He blasted Brazil for what he said was censorship and repression.Trump reserved his sharpest attacks for other countries\u2019 immigration policies and for UN support for asylum seekers. Trump accused the UN of \u201cfunding an assault on western countries and their borders,\u201d citing efforts to provide aid to migrants.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \u201cThe UN is supposed to stop invasions, not create them, and not finance them,\u201d he said. And he cited longstanding complaints from Democrats and Republicans alike, who have often lamented \u2014 though rarely in such blunt terms \u2014 that the UN has become little more than a talking shop.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
