Caption: Trump Demands UN Probe Over ‘Triple Sabotage’ During Visit. Donald Trump called for an investigation into a "triple sabotage" during his UN General Assembly visit involving an escalator, a teleprompter, and audio issues. The US president claimed the escalator abruptly stopped as he and First Lady Melania Trump stepped on, the teleprompter malfunctioned, and the auditorium audio was faulty. Trump criticised the incidents on social media, saying they were not coincidences and demanding an immediate probe by UN Secretary General Antonio Guterres. He called for the arrest of those responsible for the escalator mishap and instructed the Secret Service to review security tapes. US ambassador to the UN, Mike Waltz, echoed the call for an investigation, describing the incidents as unacceptable and a threat to US security and dignity. UN spokesperson Stephane Dujarric suggested Trump’s videographer may have inadvertently triggered the escalator’s safety mechanism. The teleprompter was restored during the speech, but Trump insisted the operator should be held accountable, although the device was managed by the White House. UN officials explained that the sound system is designed for translation through earpieces and not for audience-wide audio, responding to Trump’s complaints about the auditorium sound.
