"An Evil Group of People": Trump Tells All ICC Members to Resign at Fiery UN Speech | AC1G

Summary

In this excerpt from his UN address, President Donald Trump made a series of claims and policy arguments:

• Mexico and Cuba: Trump called Mexico the center of cartel violence and said it must regain control of territory held by cartels. He described Cuba’s communist government as incompetent and nearing collapse, said Secretary of State Marco Rubio was involved in negotiations with Havana, and accused the Cuban regime of ties to left-wing groups in the United States. He said the US sought freedom for Cuba and security for Mexico, while also praising cooperation with Mexico’s government.
• Greenland and NATO: Trump said the United States had reached an agreement with Denmark and Greenland that would give the US permanent control over the territory’s security and allow it to establish two large military bases. He argued the arrangement would protect the US and Europe and strengthen NATO. He also praised NATO’s increased defense-spending target.
• Ukraine and Russia: Trump said his administration continued seeking an end to the war and cited a new law giving him expanded tariff powers. He also credited First Lady Melania Trump with helping displaced Ukrainian and Russian children return to their families.
• UN and international institutions: Trump said the US had helped cut the UN’s 2026 budget by 15% and eliminate more than 4,000 positions. He criticized what he called the UN bureaucracy’s globalist agenda and rejected global taxes, including a proposed maritime carbon tax.
• ICC and human rights: Trump called the International Criminal Court illegitimate and urged all member states to withdraw, arguing that it should not investigate or try Americans. He also accused UN human-rights bodies of criticizing US policies while insufficiently addressing Christian persecution and abuses by repressive governments.
• Immigration and sovereignty: Trump opposed illegal immigration and argued that countries have a right to protect their borders and remain sovereign. He also criticized UNESCO and other globalist institutions, claiming mass migration threatens national cultures.
• Artificial intelligence: Trump rejected international efforts to create global controls over AI, which he said would increasingly be referred to as “superintelligence.”
