In his fiery address to the UN General Assembly, U.S. President Donald Trump questioned the very purpose of the United Nations,accusing it of funding assaults on Western borders, prioritising climate “con jobs,” and speaking only in “empty words.” Since returning to the White House, Trump has withdrawn the US from key UN bodies including Unesco, the WHO, and the Human Rights Council, and stopped paying Washington’s dues.
