Reference News Network September 25 report - According to AFP, September 24, US President Donald Trump called for an immediate "investigation" at the United Nations, claiming he suffered a "triple sabotage" during his speech at the UN General Assembly the day before.

According to reports, Trump posted a long and angry message on his "Truth Social" website, describing the escalator malfunction when he arrived, the teleprompter failure during his speech, and the audio problems, and wrote: "This is not a coincidence; these are three acts of sabotage that occurred at the United Nations. They should be ashamed. I have sent a copy of this letter to (the) Secretary-General, demanding an immediate investigation."

He angrily wrote: "What happened yesterday at the United Nations was shameful - not one, not two, but three malicious incidents!"

On the 23rd, Trump had already expressed dissatisfaction with these technical problems on the UN podium. On that day, after arriving at the United Nations headquarters in New York, Trump followed his wife Melania onto the escalator, which almost immediately stopped. The U.S. president and First Lady, who looked slightly unsteady, held onto the handrail to maintain balance, then walked up the steps.

The spokesperson for the UN Secretary-General, Stephane Dujarric, explained to reporters on the 23rd: "The safety mechanism was accidentally triggered by people in front of the President," and stated that the equipment was restored afterward. He later added in a statement that the person was a White House cameraman.

The U.S. president, who is extremely sensitive to etiquette oversights, also complained about the teleprompter not working properly when his speech began. Dujarric responded by saying: "We will not comment because the teleprompter used by the U.S. president is managed by the White House itself."

On the 24th, Trump raised a third accusation regarding the sound quality during his speech. He wrote on his "Truth Social" website: "After the speech, I was told that the sound in the hall was completely cut off." (Translated by Lin Xiaoxuan)
