Donald Trump furiously requires investigation into the UN's “triple sabotage”: 3 incidents were no coincidence

In a post in social media, the US president referred to an unexpected halt to a moving ladder as he and First Lady Melanie Trump stepped on it, a teleprompter that did not work during his speech and a problem with audio in the audience.

A UN official said the sound system was designed to allow people to hear speeches translated through headphones.

The UN earlier said a security mechanism may have been activated by Trump's videography, which had travelled back on the moving scale while teleprompter belonged to the American delegation.

Trump criticised the incidents at the Social Truth and said he was sending a letter to UN Secretary General Antonio Guterres, demanding an immediate investigation.

A real shame occurred yesterday in the United Nations... not one, not two, but three very grim events”, he wrote.

This was no coincidence, this was a triple sabotage in the UN. They must be ashamed of themselves. ”

He also called for the arrest of persons responsible for the moving staircase incident, referring to an article in the Times that said UN employees were joking about turning off the moving stairs.

This was absolutely sabotage. All security tapes on the moving stairs must be guarded, especially the emergency stop button. The Secret Service is included”, Trump added.

Mike Waltz, the US ambassador to the UN, echoed the president's call for an official investigation, saying the incidents were “unacceptable”.

The United States will not tolerate threats to our security or dignity at international forums. We expect quick co-operation and decisive action”, he wrote at X.

White House Press Secretary Caroline Leavet raised concerns that someone deliberately stopped the stairs.

“If someone at the UN deliberately stopped the moving ladder while the President and First Lady were violating, he should be fired and immediately investigated”, she wrote in the X after the incident. /Periscopi
