Guterres warns of global crisis, citing Gaza's suffering and aid cuts, while Trump criticizes the UN but reaffirms U.S. support.

UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres warned at the 2025 General Assembly that the world faces an era of "reckless disruption and relentless human suffering," citing collapsing peace, rising inequality, and global indifference. He urged cooperation over self-interest, condemned the devastating situation in Gaza as the worst in his tenure, and called for full compliance with UN measures to protect civilians. Guterres labeled aid cuts, especially from the U.S., a "death sentence" for vulnerable populations. Former President Donald Trump criticized the UN as ineffective, promoted his "America First" policies, and warned against green energy and open migration, though he later affirmed U.S. support for the organization. The session highlighted global tensions, particularly over the Israel-Palestine conflict, amid ongoing debates on peace, funding, and international cooperation.
