He experienced multiple technical difficulties,including problems with the escalator stopping while he and the First Lady were riding it,malfunctions with the teleprompter,and audio issues that made it hard for the First Lady to hear his speech. Trump described these incidents as deliberate sabotage, referencing an earlier London Times article where U.N. workers allegedly joked about turning off escalators. He demanded an immediate examination and called for those responsible to be arrested, emphasizing the involvement of the Secret Service. The U.N. denied sabotage claims, attributing the escalator stoppage to a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/these-six-diet-and-nutrition-facts-will-blow-your-mind\/\" title=\"These Six Diet and Nutrition Facts Will Blow Your Mind\">safety mechanism triggered<\/a> by someone ahead of Trump and noting that the teleprompter was operated by Trump&#8217;s own team. U.S. Ambassador to the U.N. Mike Waltz confirmed two sabotage incidents and mentioned interruptions during the speech interpretation. White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt promised to ensure accountability if U.N. staff were found responsible. <br \/> <!DOCTYPE html><br \/>\n<?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><html><body><\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<p><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><\/p>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-button\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-icon td-icon-mobile\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-header-search-button-mob dropdown-toggle\" data-toggle=\"dropdown\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-search-icon td-icon-search\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-button\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-icon td-icon-mobile\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<div class=\"tdb-drop-down-search\" aria-labelledby=\"td-header-search-button\">\n<div class=\"tdb-drop-down-search-inner\">\n<form method=\"get\" class=\"tdb-search-form\" action=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/\"><\/form>\n<div class=\"tdb-aj-search\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/#\" role=\"button\" aria-label=\"Search\" class=\"tdb-head-search-btn dropdown-toggle\" data-toggle=\"dropdown\"><i class=\"tdb-search-icon td-icon-search\"><\/i><\/a><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<h1 class=\"tdb-title-text\">Trump calls for arrests in &lsquo;triple sabotage&rsquo;

As for the teleprompter, the U.N.<a href=\"https:\/\/www.bbc.com\/news\/articles\/cn76kyxp6epo\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"> told the <em>BBC<\/em><\/a>  that the Trump team was operating the teleprompter at the time, bringing their own equipment and plugging it into the U.N.&rsquo;s system.<\/p>\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/white-house\/3821632\/trump-box-office-urgency-united-nations-address-analysis\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">TRUMP BRINGS BOX OFFICE AND URGENCY TO UN<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt said on Tuesday that she would &ldquo;personally see to&rdquo; the punishment of those involved.<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;If we find these were U.N. staffers who were purposely trying to literally trip up the president and the first lady, there better be accountability for those people, and I will personally see to it,&rdquo; she said.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p> <script data-cfasync=\"false\" src=\"http:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/cdn-cgi\/scripts\/5c5dd728\/cloudflare-static\/email-decode.min.js\"><\/script> <\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<p><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Trump demands arrests over UN elevator, teleprompter, sound sabotage<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":2490797,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":"","fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/AP25266776113703.jpg?w=696","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[33651,538],"tags":[4283,5894,9918,3634,41588],"class_list":["post-2490796","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-the-western-journal","category-washington-examiner","tag-arrests","tag-politics","tag-sabotage","tag-trump","tag-united-nations"],"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/AP25266776113703.jpg?w=696","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2490796","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2490796"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2490796\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2490800,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2490796\/revisions\/2490800"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2490797"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2490796"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2490796"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2490796"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
