Watch: Trump criticises EU immigration policy and recognition of Palestinian statehood

James Cox

US president Donald Trump addressed the United Nations General Assembly today, criticising the organisation and the EU in his speech.

He said he had done more than the UN towards dealing with the wars in Gaza, Sudan and Ukraine.

Mr Trump also took aim at the EU.

“Sadly, in all cases, the United Nations did not even try to help in any on them,” Mr. Trump said.

He called on the EU to end what he described as the "failed experiment of open borders".

In a lengthy address to the UN, Donald Trump also falsely claimed London was moving to operate under Sharia law.

He criticised countries like Ireland, which have recognised Palestinian statehood, saying they are rewarding Hamas terrorism.

The US president spent a long time criticising Europe's immigration policies.

He said: "It's time to end the failed experiment of open borders, you have to end it now.

"I'm really good at this stuff... your countries are going to hell. In America we've taken bold action to swiftly shut down uncontrolled migration."
