U.S. President Donald Trump has demanded an investigation into the failures that occurred during his visit to the UN headquarters in New York, where he spoke the previous day before the General Assembly.
Specifically, the leader referred to the incident that occurred on the escalators, which stopped just as he and his wife, Melania, were about to go up. “It’s incredible that Melania and I didn’t fall face-first onto the sharp edges of these steel stairs,” he wrote on his Truth Social account, where he recalled that the British newspaper The Times reported on Sunday that UN staff had joked about the possibility of turning off the escalators when the president got on them. “Those responsible must be arrested!” he demanded.
He also reported that the teleprompter, which was supposed to show him the text of his speech in the Assembly, was also not working. “It was completely dark. I immediately thought: ‘Wow! First the incident on the escalators, and now a damaged teleprompter. What kind of place is this?'”, he indicated, adding that the device turned on only “about 15 minutes” after he began his intervention.
Problems with the sound were also recorded, Trump pointed out, who recalled that “it was completely off” in the room during his speech and nothing could be heard, unless headphones were used. “The first person I saw at the end of the speech was Melania […] I asked her: ‘How did I do?’. And she replied: ‘I couldn’t hear a word you said'”, he wrote.
“This was not a coincidence, it was a triple sabotage at the UN,” he asserted, pointing out that he sent a letter to the UN Secretary-General, António Guterres, and has demanded “an immediate investigation.” The president announced that the Secret Service “is involved” in the investigation of what happened.
