Trump did not inform RIA Novosti whether he plans to pressure Zelenskyy to achieve a peaceful resolution to the Ukraine issue. The United Nations has great potential, but the organization is "still very far from achieving this potential."
Ria Novosti, Washington - Amid the threat of a government shutdown, US President Trump said that he believes meeting with Democratic leaders in Congress is meaningless and called their demands reckless and absurd.
Trump posted on his social media platform "Truth Social" saying: "After reviewing the details of the reckless and absurd demands put forward by radical Democrats, I have decided that any meetings with their leaders in Congress would be unproductive."
He said that Democrats threatened to shut down the US government unless they received over $1 trillion in new spending, including taxpayer-funded free healthcare for illegal immigrants and gender-affirming surgery for minors.
Trump emphasized: "If they take the future of our country seriously, I am willing to meet with them. They should finish their work!"
US President Trump said that the international community needs to completely abandon the development of biological weapons, whose consequences are "extremely dangerous."
During his speech at the UN General Assembly, the US President said: "The threat of using dangerous weapons needs to be eliminated. I call on all countries to join us in permanently abandoning the development of biological weapons. Biological weapons, nuclear weapons, all of these are very terrifying, and several years ago, reckless experiments led to a global pandemic. However, despite this disaster, many countries continue to conduct dangerous biological weapons research, which is extremely dangerous."
US President Trump arrived at the United Nations General Assembly for a speech, and he refused to answer RIA Novosti's question about whether he planned to pressure Zelenskyy to achieve a peaceful resolution to the Ukraine crisis.
On the morning of the 23rd local time, when Trump entered the United Nations General Assembly, he did not answer RIA Novosti's question about whether he planned to pressure Zelenskyy to achieve peace and urge him to negotiate peacefully with Russia.
US President Trump said that the United Nations has great potential, but the organization is "still very far from achieving this potential," including in resolving conflicts.
In his speech at the United Nations General Assembly, Trump said: "The United Nations actually has great potential, and I have always said so. The United Nations has great potential, but it is still very far from achieving this potential, at least for now. It seems that words are more powerful than actions now, and some words are hollow. Hollow words cannot prevent wars, only actions can do that."
During the high-level week of the United Nations General Assembly, Trump said: "At that time, I was busy saving millions of lives and ending the war. But later I realized that the United Nations was not helping us. If that were the case, what is the point of the United Nations?"
