Peace Under Me, Chaos Under Biden: Trump’s Key Quotes from the UN

    U.S. President Donald Trump

U.S. president Donald Trump has made a dramatic return to the global stage with a no-holds-barred address at the United Nations General Assembly, in New York on Tuesday, September 23, 2025.

In typical Trump fashion, he drew sharp contrasts between his first term, which he said delivered “peace and prosperity”, and what he slammed as years of “weakness, lawlessness, and radicalism” under Joe Biden.

Trump painted a picture of an America bouncing back under his watch, taking aim at everything from the economy and foreign policy to immigration, security, and the role of global bodies like the UN.

Here are the key issues he touched on, highlighted with direct quotes:

• Peace vs. chaos under Biden - “When I was here as your President, we had peace and prosperity. Under Biden, we got weakness, lawlessness, and radicalism.”

• Economy & inflation - “We defeated ruinous inflation, brought down energy costs, grocery costs, mortgage rates, and created the strongest economy in the history of the world.”

• Foreign investment & wages - “Seventeen trillion dollars came pouring into the United States in just eight months—more than Biden got in four years. Wages rose faster than at any time in sixty years.”

• Immigration & border - “We brought illegal border crossings down to zero for four straight months.”

• Criticism of the UN on migration - “The United Nations is funding the invasion of the United States, spending $372 million to assist illegal migrants on their way here.”

• Europe & migration - “Europe is collapsing from uncontrolled immigration. If they don’t stop, Europe will cease to exist.”

• NATO spending - “I told NATO they must pay up—and now they are, raising defense spending to 5% of GDP.”

• Ending wars - “We ended seven wars around the world in just a few months—Cambodia and Thailand, Kosovo and Serbia, Congo and Rwanda—wars that had gone on for decades.”

• UN inefficiency - “The United Nations has 40,000 employees, and yet it can’t stop a single war. What’s the point?”

• Abraham Accords - “We brought historic peace to the Middle East with the Abraham Accords.”

• Iran & Israel - “We destroyed Iran’s nuclear program with Operation Midnight Hammer and brokered an end to the fighting with Israel.”

• Gaza conflict - “Hamas must release all hostages immediately, and there can be no Palestinian state under the leadership of terrorists.”

• Ukraine war - “The war in Ukraine never would have happened if I was president. Biden’s weakness caused it.”

• Russia & energy - “Europe must immediately stop funding Russia by buying their oil and gas. If Russia refuses peace, we will impose tariffs they can’t withstand.”

• Bioweapons & pandemics - “We must ban biological weapons worldwide. I propose an AI-powered verification system under the Biological Weapons Convention.”

• Drug cartels & gangs - “We have designated MS-13, Tren de Aragua, and other cartels as foreign terrorist organizations. We will use the full power of the U.S. military against Venezuelan networks.”

• Climate change - “The climate agenda is the greatest con job ever played on the world. Wind and solar are scams—it’s all a hoax.”

• Energy policy - “Germany was smart to abandon the green energy scam and return to fossil fuels and nuclear. Other countries should do the same.”

• Closing message - “America is ready to lead again. To every nation that wants peace and prosperity—we will be your partner and your friend.”
