On September 22, 2026, Donald Trump addressed the 81st session of the United Nations General Assembly, delivering a speech that emphasized American strength and confronted perceived adversaries. A significant portion of his roughly 40-minute speech was dedicated to defending the ongoing military operation in Iran, which has been active for nearly seven months. Trump presented a stark choice regarding Iran, asking whether a deal would be made to allow them to rebuild or if the U.S. would “annihilate the Islamic Republic and do it quickly.” This strong rhetoric led to members of the Iranian delegation walking out of the General Assembly Hall.
Trump also focused on Cuba, stating his administration is seeking “fundamental change” in the country and predicting its “fall.” He described Cuba as an “absolutely failed state” and accused its leaders of coordinating with “left-wing radicals and communist networks” in the United States. Cuban officials also walked out during this portion of his speech.
Beyond Iran and Cuba, Trump asserted that the U.S. would not hesitate to use its military might to secure national interests in the Western Hemisphere, citing actions in Venezuela as an example. He also touched on the ongoing conflict between Russia and Ukraine, expressing frustration and calling for an end to the war without offering new peace initiatives. Additionally, Trump dismissed concerns about artificial intelligence, proposing to rebrand it as “superintelligence” and stating that warnings about its dangers were a “hoax.” He also announced plans for two new U.S. military bases in Greenland.
