Watch again: Trump addresses world leaders at UN General Assembly

Video Description

President Donald Trump unleashed an extraordinary tirade at the United Nations in New York on Tuesday, saying Britain and Europe are “going to hell” because of immigration and dismissing climate change as “the greatest con job ever perpetrated on the world”. In a spectacular outburst, the US leader said Western nations are being taken over by “illegal aliens” and warned that “immigration and suicidal energy ideas will be the death of western Europe”. And only days after enjoying dinner with the King and Queen at Windsor Castle, he falsely claimed that London is adopting Islamic sharia law and called Sir Sadiq Khan a “terrible, terrible mayor”. The president’s hour-long address touched on many familiar grievances and elicited some groans and uncomfortable laughter from delegates. He said the UN is “funding an assault on Western countries and their borders” by supporting illegal immigration, and he claimed green energy projects aimed at reducing their carbon footprint were causing irreparable harm to their economies and cultures. #DonaldTrump #UNSpeech #ImmigrationCrisis #ClimateChangeDebate #ShariaLawClaims #PoliticalControversy Watch more on Independent TV: https://tinyurl.com/yc7ukx9n The Independent is the world’s most free-thinking newsbrand, providing global news, commentary and analysis for the independently-minded.
