Trump says he and Lula will talk

Trump says that he and Lula “embraced” when they saw one another entering the UN building and agreed to meet next week.

He said that he seemed like a “nice” guy.

Trump has issued steep tariffs on Brazil as well as sanctions on several judicial officials after former President (and Trump ally) Jair Bolsonaro was sentenced to more than 27 years in prison for attempting a coup. Trump has called the prosecution of Bolsonaro a “witch hunt” and promised repercussions.


Trump ends speech with message on migration, renewable energy

The US president has ended his speech, which stretched on for a whopping 55 minutes, far surpassing the 15-minute guidelines.

Trump repeated what he said were the two defining issues for the world.

“In closing, I just want to repeat that immigration and the high cost of so-called green renewable energy is destroying a large part of the free world and a large part of our planet,” he said.

“Countries that cherish freedom are fading fast because of their policies on these two subjects. You need strong borders and traditional energy sources if you are going to be great again, whether you have come from north or south, east or west, near or far,” he said.

Trump earlier referenced his desire for a Nobel Peace prize, and despite a speech that derided the UN as a whole, and individual countries, he finished with the pitch that he is the man to take the global community forward.

“So together, let us uphold our sacred duty to our people and to our citizens. Let us protect their borders, ensure their safety, preserve their cultures, treasure their traditions and fight, fight, fight for their precious dreams and their cherished freedom,” he said.

“It will happen, and I hope it can happen and start right now, right at this moment, we’ll turn it around to make our countries better, safer, more beautiful,” he added.
