Newsweek is reporting that President Donald Trump delivered his highly anticipated United Nations General Assembly speech Tuesday morning before a standing-room-only crowd in New York. It said that as Trump spoke about the last six months of Iran's military strikes, that country's U.N. delegates walked out of the assembly. Only one Iranian delegate remained in the hall to listen to the U.S. president until the end, Newsweek said.
According to Newsweek, Trump asked whether a deal would be made with Iran that lets it rebuild and create a far greater country than it ever was before, or whether he would annihilate the Islamic Republic quickly, never giving it a chance to kill and destroy people and countries again. The president continued by asking whether he should drive them into hell, Newsweek said.
Newsweek also reported that Trump called out CNN's Kaitlan Collins before his address amid a White House ban denying CNN, MS NOW and Politico access. Those three news outlets are suing the president for violating the First Amendment, it said. Collins asked Trump as he entered the U.N. building whether two-thirds of Americans do not think the U.S. is winning the war with Iran and when it would end. Arriving with First Lady Melania Trump, Trump brushed aside the question and told Collins that she should not be there covering him, adding that she had said she was not going to cover him, according to Newsweek.
