Prabowo Trump UN Speeches: Analysis & Comparison

Analysis of ⁣Prabowo and Trump’s speeches at the UN General Assembly: Pro ⁤and Con Positions

This article from⁤ Kompas.com analyzes the contrasting viewpoints presented by US President Donald trump and Indonesian President Prabowo Subianto during their speeches at⁣ the 80th ⁤General Session ⁢of the United Nations on september 23, 2025. Political analyst Hikmahanto Juwana highlights ⁤three ⁢key‍ areas where their positions sharply diverged:

1.the Role of the United Nations:

* Trump: Questioned the effectiveness of the UN, claiming the US was solely responsible for resolving conflicts like those between Israel-Iran,⁤ Cambodia-Thailand, and Armenia-Azerbaijan. Essentially, he implied the UN was unnecessary.
* Prabowo: ‍ Affirmed the UN’s crucial and vital role ⁢in maintaining global peace and security.

2. Climate Change:

* Trump: Dismissed climate change as a “greatest ⁢con job ever perpetrated ⁢on the world,” denying⁤ its validity.
* Prabowo: Emphasized the reality of climate change, citing Indonesia as a country directly impacted by ⁢its⁣ effects.

3. Israeli-Palestinian Conflict:

*⁣ Trump: Condemned countries supporting Palestinian independence and sovereignty.
* Prabowo: Strongly supported a two-state solution for the Israeli-palestinian conflict, advocating for Palestinian independence. However, Hikmahanto notes Prabowo’s position – requiring Israel’s recognition after Palestine’s – remains‍ consistent with the⁢ two-state ‍solution framework.

hikmahanto summarizes the ‍overall dynamic as a clear “pros and cons”⁢ situation, with Trump challenging the established international order and Prabowo upholding⁢ it.
