President Donald Trump sharply criticized European nations on September 23rd, 2025, stating "Your countries are going to hell," during engagements at the UN General Assembly. He also urged Ukraine to "Take back all your land... then go further," according to reports from the Daily Mirror and The Telegraph. The White House described the President's address as "meandering," while The New York Times noted rebukes of global institutions and complaints about immigration, environmentalists, and windmills. During this period, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy expressed a more optimistic view of his conversation with President Trump, suggesting Trump "showed that he wants to support Ukraine to the very end" and might have changed his stance on the conflict. Zelenskyy indicated that Trump now understands that "we can't just swap territories." President Trump also reiterated his stance on Gaza, calling for the release of hostages and stating that unilaterally recognizing a Palestinian state would reward Hamas' atrocities, as per the Israeli Ministry of Foreign Affairs. In other developments, Jesse Watters stated "We either need to leave the UN or bomb it." Separately, Kamala Harris reflected on Election Night, saying, "That night, I grieved in a way that I have not since my mother died." The first truckload of anti-scale riot fencing arrived near the White House on September 23rd, 2025, at approximately 8:36 PM UTC, with the reason for its deployment unclear. Ryan Routh was found guilty on all charges for the assassination attempt on President Trump and reportedly attempted self-harm shortly after the verdict. President Trump had previously stated that "justice was served" regarding Routh's conviction.
