Trump to Address 80th United Nations General Assembly on September 23

Former U.S. President Donald J. Trump is scheduled to address the 80th Session of the United Nations General Assembly (UNGA) on September 23, 2025, according to a statement released by the White House.

This high-profile appearance comes amid rising global tensions, ongoing geopolitical realignments, and Trump’s continued influence on the American political landscape as he prepares for a potential presidential run in 2026.

A Pivotal Global Stage

Trump’s address is expected to draw global attention, as he will speak to world leaders, diplomats, and global policy experts from over 190 UN member states. Sources close to his campaign suggest the former president will speak on issues such as global security, energy independence, economic sovereignty, and what he calls the “mismanagement of international institutions.”

This will mark Trump’s first address at the UN since leaving office in January 2021.

Expected Talking Points

Although the exact content of his speech remains undisclosed, political analysts expect him to:

  • Criticize the Biden administration’s foreign policy approaches,
  • Address rising tensions in Ukraine, Taiwan, and the Middle East,
  • Reassert his “America First” doctrine on the international stage,
  • Highlight the role of the U.S. in shaping global economic frameworks.

Global Reactions Mixed

Reactions to Trump’s UNGA appearance have been mixed. Supporters welcome his strong stance on nationalism and fiscal reform, while critics warn it could further polarize international dialogue at a time when collaboration is desperately needed on climate change, migration, and peacekeeping efforts.

The United Nations has yet to release the full list of speakers for the general debate, but Trump’s confirmation is already generating buzz among diplomatic circles and media outlets globally.
