The US president returned to the 80th UN General Assembly for the first time in five years to outline his “vision for the world”.

In an unprecedented speech, Trump touted America’s role in bringing peace to seven conflicts since taking over the White House.
The jaw-dropping speech saw him slamming the UN for “not helping me stop the conflicts”.
Don said: “It’s too bad that I had to do these things instead of the United Nations doing them.
“And, sadly, in all cases, the United Nations did not even try to help in any of them.”
The president joked about the “two things” the UN gave him: a broken escalator and a faulty teleprompter.
He said: “I never even received a phone call from the United Nations offering to help in finalising the deal.
“All I got from the United Nations was an escalator that on the way up, stopped right in the middle.”
Trump warned in his fiery speech about the nuclear threat the world faces, and said “there is no more serious danger to our planet today”.
He also touched on one of his favourite topics in politics – immigration.
While criticising immigration in Europe, he took a dig at Sadiq Khan, calling him a “terrible mayor”.
He said: “And I have to say, I look at London, where you have a terrible mayor, terrible, terrible mayor, and it’s been so changed, so changed.
“Now they want to go to Sharia law, but you’re in a different country. You can’t do that.”
He also said other countries have to act on immigration.
Trump was welcomed to the podium with a huge round of applause.
The president said six years have passed since his last address at the UN.
“Since that day, the guns of war have shattered the peace I forged on two continents, an era of calm and stability gave way to one of the greatest crises of our time,” he said.
Trump went on to hail progress since his return to the White House, saying the US is the “hottest country anywhere in the world”.
He mentioned the seven wars he claims to have ended during his second term so far, adding that people told him these conflicts were “unendable”.
These include wars between Cambodia and Thailand; Kosovo and Serbia; Congo and Rwanda; Pakistan and India; Israel and Iran; Egypt and Ethiopia; and Armenia and Azerbaijan.
Trump praised the renewal of American strength around the world and spoke about how globalist institutions have “significantly decayed the world order”.
The president, who is said to be in a “campaign mode” to win the Nobel Prize for Peace, is outlining how his role as the 47th president of the US has helped to bring an end to seven international conflicts.
Several world leaders, including Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, have backed nominating Trump for the peace prize.
Hun Manet, the prime minister of Cambodia, nominated Trump after a deal was struck for a ceasefire following the clashes at the Cambodia-Thailand border.
Netanyahu handed over a letter to Trump – a moment that the president described as very meaningful.
Pakistan’s government also championed a move to nominate Trump, praising the leadership he showed in striking a ceasefire between India and Pakistan.
Leaders in Rwanda and Gabon have also endorsed Trump.
Olivier Nduhungirehe, the Rwandan foreign minister, credited Trump for how he helped end the 30-year conflict between Rwanda and the Democratic Republic of Congo.
Reports in the Norwegian press have claimed Trump cold-called the country’s finance minister to discuss the peace prize.
Which countries have nominated or endorsed Trump for the Nobel Peace Prize?
SEVERAL countries have endorsed or supported calls for Donald Trump to be nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize. These are:
Pakistan
Israel
Cambodia
Azerbaijan
Armenia
Rwanda
Gabon
“Out of the blue, while the finance minister was walking down the street in Oslo, Donald Trump called, he wanted the Nobel prize – and to discuss tariffs,” an excerpt in Dagens Næringsliv said.
If Trump wins the Nobel Peace Prize, he would join a small club of ex-presidents who have achieved the feat.
Don is also expected to meet several world leaders on the sidelines of the UN summit.
He will also meet Ukrainian leader President Zelensky, who is expected to call for the US president to impose blistering sanctions on Russia.
