Watched by the world, President Donald Trump returns to the United Nations on Tuesday (September 23, 2025) to deliver a wide-ranging address on his second-term foreign policy achievements and lament that “globalist institutions have significantly decayed the world order,” according to the White House. This is his first address to world leaders in his second term as President from the iconic UNGA podium.
World leaders will be listening closely to his remarks at the U.N. General Assembly as Mr. Trump has already moved quickly to diminish U.S. support for the world body in his first eight months in office.
The U.S. President’s speech is typically among the most anticipated moments of the annual assembly. This one comes at one of the most volatile moments in the world body’s 80-year-old history. Global leaders are being tested by intractable wars in Gaza, Ukraine and Sudan, uncertainty about the economic and social impact of emerging artificial intelligence technology, and anxiety about Mr. Trump’s antipathy for the global body.
