U.S. President Donald Trump blasted the United Nations and Europe on his return to the world body Tuesday, warning that migration is sending Western nations "to hell" and dismissing climate change as a "con job."
In a blistering speech during his first U.N. General Assembly appearance since his White House comeback, Trump also accused the world body of failing to help him as he tried to broker peace deals including in Gaza and Ukraine.
"What is the purpose of the United Nations?" asked Trump in a wide-ranging speech lasting nearly an hour. "It has such tremendous potential, but it's not even coming close to living up to that."
