Trump Alleges ‘Triple Sabotage’ at UN, Orders Secret Service Investigation.
US President Donald Trump has claimed that a series of technical mishaps at the United Nations were deliberate acts of sabotage, announcing that the Secret Service will probe the incidents.
In a statement on Truth Social, Trump described a “REAL DISGRACE” at the UN, citing three separate events during his visit that he called “very sinister.”
The first incident involved the escalator to the Main Speaking Floor, which abruptly stopped. “It’s amazing that Melania and I didn’t fall face first onto the steel steps. We were each holding the handrail tightly or it would have been a disaster,” he said, calling it “absolute sabotage.” Trump also referenced a London Times report suggesting UN staff had previously joked about turning off an escalator.
He added that his teleprompter went “stone cold dark” during his speech to world leaders, kicking in only 15 minutes later, and that the auditorium’s sound system malfunctioned, making it difficult for attendees to hear him without interpreter earpieces. “This wasn’t a coincidence, this was triple sabotage at the UN,” Trump said.
Trump said he will send a letter to UN Secretary-General António Guterres demanding an immediate investigation and that all security footage related to the escalator be preserved.
UN spokesperson Stéphane Dujarric said an initial inquiry suggested a US delegation videographer may have “inadvertently triggered the safety function” on the escalator. Trump and his officials, however, have rejected this explanation, hinting at a wider conspiracy.
White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt described the incident as “unacceptable” and said anyone responsible for intentionally stopping the escalator should be “fired and investigated immediately.”
