Why It Matters

Donald Trump has adopted a tough stance in foreign policy during his second term as US President, and is pursuing a policy of zero tolerance, especially towards Iran's nuclear program. The USA is also breaking records in foreign markets by increasing its military power.

Here are the highlights of Trump's speech: America is back and our country is stronger today than ever before. Our economy is the best in the world right now. Our army is the strongest in the world. Our technology does not lag behind anyone and we are ahead in every aspect. Our energy is spreading around the world and America is rising. Our strength is increasing. Our country is in a much better situation than ever before and our future is very bright.

WE ARE THE HOTTEST COUNTRY IN THE WORLD

We have achieved the largest tax cuts in American history, and there are greater investments being made in America now than in our history. In fact, this much investment has never been made in any country in the history of the world. Additionally, our stock market continues to break record after record, and this has only happened in the past 12 months. We also received a promise of investment of 21 trillion dollars. And of course, in the four-year period we're comparing, the previous administration received $1 trillion. A year and a half ago our country was dying. But right now we are the hottest, hottest country in the world.

We have begun to solve long-standing global problems. There are a lot of very important leaders in this room right now. I know most of you very well. However, in a very short time, we tried to make the world more beautiful, safer and safer for our children. As the president of the most important country in the world, I have no intention of allowing threats to grow. The longer problems exist, the more difficult they become to solve, and I did my part. I said I would bring peace and I brought peace. While others ignored all threats, I confronted them. While others spoke of courage, America showed courage. While others promised power, I did my best to make America the most powerful country in the world.

IRAN

We worked with many countries. We've dealt with the countries in this room and a lot of problems. We have been trying to finish the unfinished issues for years, and one of these dangers is a very good example. As one of the biggest problems in the world, the biggest sponsor of all terrorism in the world is the Islamic Republic of Iran. For 51 years, the fanatic Iranian regime has maintained its rule by shedding blood. It created chaos throughout the Middle East and beyond. They were the tyrants of the Middle East. But they are no longer bullies.

I have said this since the first day I entered politics. I will never allow Iran to have access to nuclear weapons. And when I took over last year, I sat down in negotiations with them from the very first moment we started. Because I wanted to cooperate and thus end the nuclear program. I wanted to end their support for terrorism. But they did not accept this and it was a huge mistake on their part. Then, we carried out Operation Hammer in the middle of the night and left their nuclear program in rubble. I said they needed to make a deal. However, they refused again. They then relied on missile and drone threats. However, they threatened American officials and everyone in the region, and they also produced a missile with this power that was capable of hitting Europe. I hope Europe has taken note of this.

Iran continued its run to achieve nuclear weapons. They attempted to continue their program with ballistic missile protection, and if they had been successful they could have continued to spread terror and death indefinitely. We would be facing a nuclear disaster. In two weeks, we will mark the third anniversary of the October 7 attack. Iran killed and tortured 1,200 very innocent civilians here. They killed children. Iran's religious leader described it as a service to humanity. The same regime murdered more than 72 thousand of its own citizens. More than 10 thousand people were killed for protesting. It is very difficult to even imagine such a regime possessing nuclear weapons and committing terrorist acts in that way. But this was a fact that many wanted to ignore. Everyone ignored it. Too many leaders turned a blind eye. They didn't want to take any steps on this issue, but they knew the problem existed.

I gave Iran many opportunities to make a deal. We allowed them to make agreements with the USA or other countries. This was a devastating problem. Therefore, we tried to solve it, but when it did not work, we sent their navy of 150 ships to the bottom of the sea with Operation Epic Rage. Likewise, the air force also disappeared. Air defenses were also completely destroyed. Drone and missile production capacities have almost reached zero. We eliminated all their capacities. The only thing that hasn't disappeared is inflation. He also destroys their countries. And their inflation reached 300 percent. But even after we agreed on a ceasefire, our negotiations continued, and even after the negotiations, their terrorist acts against civilian ships continued.

CALL FROM TRUMP TO IRAN

I would like to thank the United Nations Security Council. I thank you for this decision condemning Iran's despicable terrorist attacks on commercial transportation. And I'm very pleased that the number of United Nations member countries co-hosts here is greater than any other council in history. We continue our pressure here. The United States Navy also extracted $1 billion barrels of oil from Venezuela, and we have been continuing since the beginning of the war. We landed 22, 25, 32, 37 ships. We always took ships out of there. Every night, every day. And I have a very important decision before me. Will a deal be made with Iran? And will this agreement allow them to build a better country again? Maybe they will be one of the best countries in the Middle East or one of the best countries in the world. Will I destroy the Islamic Republic of Iran? Am I going to do it too quickly? And will I do it without giving them the right and chance to harm or kill anyone else? Am I going to send them to hell with my own hands, in such a way that they despair? And my current belief is that we will make a deal. I think we will make a deal right after the midterm elections. Because it makes no sense for them not to make the deal. They now want to see how I will perform in the midterm elections. However, I am not running an election right now. I already did that. And I won the election by a huge margin. So it's already guaranteed that I will stay here for another two and a half years. I am not participating in an election right now.

"JOIN THE USA, CONTRIBUTE TO THE ISOLATION OF IRAN"

Therefore, I never gave any importance to this by-election regarding Iran. In fact, this issue did not even cross my mind. The only thing I'm thinking here is that Iran will never have access to nuclear weapons. The cowardly traitors here say that the USA is running out of ammunition, but this is not true. We have more ammunition than we can consume, and more than we can even imagine consuming. We are currently increasing our ammunition to our inventory very quickly. We continue to add some of our most powerful ammunition. Faster than we used to. We will also open new facilities and new factories. Currently, 18 new factories, factories from the world's most powerful defense industry companies, are being established and their construction will be completed very quickly. Therefore, these rapid construction processes mean that the weapons and defense products they produce will be used very quickly by us and our allies. I want all states to join us. Join the United States and contribute to the complete isolation and exclusion of Iran from the economy and prevent them from supporting terrorism. The terrorist regime here behaves very badly. Not just because they are strong and self-confident, but actually because they are weak and helpless. We want this terror inflicted by Iran over the past 51 years to end, and oil prices will reach even lower levels than at the beginning of the war. As you know, oil prices were very low. With enough willpower, anything is possible and can happen very quickly. A year ago, when I met with these important leaders of the world, the war in Gaza was continuing very brutally. Hamas tunnels were everywhere and it seemed impossible to reach a conclusion.

Our discussions at the general assembly together stopped everything and a few days later we stopped the war in Gaza. We saved thousands of lives and also brought all the remaining hostages home. Both dead and alive. We brought them all back. Everyone thought it was a miracle. He interpreted it as a miracle that we achieved this.

Since I took office here, I have concluded eight wars and we have very friendly relations with the leaders of all countries. The vast majority of these wars lasted very long, decades, and the reason I was able to stop them, the reason I was able to come to this conclusion, was because I had very special relationships with all of the leaders. I was also threatening to exploit trade and impose tariffs.

We have trade with all of these countries, and that includes Cambodia and Thailand, Serbia with Kosovo, the Democratic Republic of the Congo and Rwanda, India with Pakistan, Armenia and Azerbaijan, and of course the war in Gaza and, as I said before, the retrieval of all the hostages. All of these countries sent me special thank you letters. The Prime Minister of Pakistan is a very good man. He said: “Donald Trump saved 30 million lives.

"SIGNING WILL BE SIGNED WITH GREENLAND AND DENMARK"

We made a very important agreement with Greenland and Denmark in North America. The people of Greenland also give the United States an unlimited right to security. We will be able to do whatever we want to defend the region. Even trade will not be possible without our approval. We will establish 2 large military facilities and this agreement will be signed at the end of today.
