    During his speech at the UN General Assembly in New York on September 23, 2025, US President Donald Trump remarked on technical problems he encountered. Following an anecdote regarding a mechanical escalator failure at the UN headquarters, he noted receiving a bad escalator and a bad prompter from the United Nations.

    The President later claimed on Truth Social that the disruptions experienced during his speech were planned sabotage attempts. While the White House called for the dismissal of anyone responsible if the escalator stoppage was intentional, a UN spokesperson suggested a cameraman from the US delegation might have caused the sudden stopping of the escalators.
