An escalator at the UN headquarters stalled as Donald and Melania Trump stepped on it, caused by a videographer triggering a safety mechanism.

Trump's Escalator Mishap at UN General Assembly

Trump's UN Escalator Mishap Highlighted

An escalator at the UN headquarters stalled as Donald and Melania Trump stepped on it, caused by a videographer triggering a safety mechanism.

An escalator at the UN headquarters that abruptly halted just as US President Donald Trump and First Lady Melania Trump stepped onto it was stalled after a videographer accompanying them likely triggered a safety mechanism inadvertently while trying to capture their arrival, a UN spokesperson has said.
The incident occurred Tuesday morning as Trump and the First Lady were making their way to the General Assembly hall for the US President&rsquo;s address to world leaders at the high-level 80th session of the UN General Assembly.
In scenes that were broadcast live and widely viewed across the globe, the escalator near the Delegate&rsquo;s entrance suddenly stopped soon after Trump and Melania stepped onto it.

&nbsp;
&nbsp;
The abrupt halt briefly jolted the couple, who waited momentarily at the escalator and forced the First Lady to walk up the stalled escalator, with the President following closely behind.
Responding to questions on the incident, Stephane Dujarric, Spokesperson for Secretary-General Antonio Guterres, said the President, First Lady, and their delegation had entered through the Delegate&rsquo;s entrance and passed through the security gates before approaching the escalator.
In an effort to document their arrival, a videographer from the US delegation stepped onto the escalator ahead of the President and First Lady, he said.
The videographer, who was walking backwards to capture footage of the couple, reached the top just as the First Lady and President Trump stepped on at the bottom. At that moment (9:50 am), the escalator came to a sudden stop, the Spokesperson said.
"Our technician, who was present at the location, reset the escalator as soon as the delegation had climbed up to the second floor,&rdquo; Dujarric said, adding that a subsequent investigation, including a readout of the machine's central processing unit, indicated that a built-in safety mechanism on the comb step was triggered at the top of the escalator.
"The safety mechanism is designed to prevent people or objects from accidentally being caught and stuck in or pulled into the gearing. The videographer may have inadvertently triggered the safety function described above,&rdquo; he said.
As Trump reached the top of the escalator, he was greeted by UN Deputy Secretary General Amina Mohammed.
&ldquo;The escalator just broke,&rdquo; Trump remarked, to which Mohammed responded, &ldquo;Oh my goodness.&rdquo; The incident was followed by another unexpected technical glitch -- a malfunctioning teleprompter in the General Assembly hall.
Beginning his speech, the US President joked, "I don't mind making this speech without a teleprompter because the teleprompter is not working.&rdquo; The comment drew laughter from world leaders gathered in the hall.
&ldquo;I feel very happy to be up here with you, nevertheless, and that way you speak more from the heart,&rdquo; Trump said, adding, &ldquo;I can only say that whoever is operating this teleprompter is in big trouble,&rdquo; prompting further laughter from the audience.
&ldquo;All I got from the United Nations was an escalator that, on the way up, stopped right in the middle. If the First Lady wasn't in great shape, she would have fallen, but she's in great shape. We're both in good shape. We both stood,&rdquo; Trump said, continuing to reference the incident humorously.
"And then a teleprompter that didn't work. These are the two things I got from the United Nations -- a bad escalator and a bad teleprompter. Thank you very much,&rdquo; he said.
This was Trump&rsquo;s first address to the UN General Assembly in his second term as President.
The US leader also mentioned the teleprompter and escalator incidents during a bilateral meeting with Guterres later in the day.
&ldquo;Thank you very much. It's always an honour to be here. We've done this before, and this was a little more exciting because of the escalator and the teleprompter. These things happen,&rdquo; Trump said in his bilateral meeting with the UN chief.
Meanwhile, White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt, in a social media post, reacted strongly to the incident.
"If someone at the UN intentionally stopped the escalator as the President and First Lady were stepping on, they need to be fired and investigated immediately,&rdquo; she said.
Leavitt also posted a screenshot of an article from The Times that said: &ldquo;To mark Trump's arrival, UN staff members have joked that they may turn off the escalators and elevators and simply tell him they ran out of money, so he has to walk up the stairs.&rdquo;

Explore Melania Trump's foray into crypto with $MELANIA. Discover the Trump family's evolving stance on digital assets and the market impact.

Melania Trump launches cryptocurrency ahead of presidential inauguration

Melania Trump joins the crypto world with $MELANIA. As Trump endorses digital assets, Bitcoin hits new highs and policy shifts loom.

Melania Trump launched $MELANIA cryptocurrency ahead of Donald Trump's inauguration. Valued at $1.7B, it joins $Trump ($12B). Trump plans crypto-friendly policies, fueling Bitcoin&rsquo;s surge to $107K, signaling a shift from Biden's stricter approach.

Incoming First Lady Melania Trump announced the launch of her cryptocurrency, $MELANIA, just before her husband Donald Trump&rsquo;s swearing-in as US President. The announcement follows the creation of the $Trump cryptocurrency, which debuted earlier. Both coins have experienced volatile trading.
&ldquo;The Official Melania Meme is live! You can buy $MELANIA now,&rdquo; Melania posted on the social media platform X. According to its website, $MELANIA is a crypto asset based on the Solana blockchain. Both $Trump and $MELANIA disclaim any intent as investment opportunities or securities.
As of now, $Trump&rsquo;s market valuation stands at approximately $12 billion (&pound;9.8 billion), while $MELANIA is valued at $1.7 billion, according to CoinMarketCap.
Donald Trump, who previously referred to cryptocurrency as a "scam," shifted his stance during his 2024 presidential campaign, becoming the first candidate to accept digital assets as donations. He also promised to build a strategic bitcoin reserve and appoint crypto-friendly financial regulators, raising expectations for deregulation of the crypto industry.
Bitcoin surged to a record high of $107,000 following Trump&rsquo;s victory, while other cryptocurrencies, such as dogecoin&mdash;promoted by Trump supporter Elon Musk&mdash;have also seen significant gains.
In Washington, DC, the incoming AI and crypto advisor David Sacks hosted a "Crypto Ball" to celebrate the new administration&rsquo;s stance on digital assets.
Under the previous Biden administration, regulators had taken a stricter approach, citing fraud and money laundering concerns as they cracked down on crypto exchanges and companies. The Trump administration&rsquo;s policies are anticipated to mark a shift towards a more favorable environment for the crypto industry. &nbsp;

Melania Trump Defends Abortion Rights In Memoir, Weeks Before US Presidential Election

 Former First Lady Melania Trump made an extraordinary declaration in her upcoming memoir. Melenia expressed her full-throated defense of abortion rights in the memoir. She said in her book ‘Melania’ restricting a woman’s right to choose whether to terminate an unwanted pregnancy is the same as denying her control over her own body.

Watch: Melania's first public reunion with Donald Trump at RNC event

Former First Lady Melania stood beside her husband and Donald Trump at the RNC event on Thursday, marking a rare appearance.

Donald Trump&rsquo;s elusive wife Melania made a rare appearance at the Republican National Convention in support of Donald Trump's third bid for the White House, but broke with decades of tradition by not speaking at the event.
Wearing Republican red, Melania, 54, walked, alone, into the Republican National Convention in Milwaukee on Thursday accompanied by classical music.
She has kept a low profile during her husband&rsquo;s 2024 White House bid. She had not been spotted in Milwaukee since the convention kicked off on Monday.
Last week, Melania issued a statement calling for unity following an assassination attempt against Trump at a campaign rally in Pennsylvania.
"This morning, ascend above the hate, the vitriol, and the simple-minded ideas that ignite violence. We all want a world where respect is paramount, family is first, and love transcends. We can realise this world again. Each of us must demand to get it back. We must insist that respect fills the cornerstone of our relationships again," she said in a statement.
It is traditional at party conventions for the candidates' spouses to give a speech and tell heavily-scripted anecdotes about family life.
On Wednesday evening, Usha Vance - the wife of Trump&rsquo;s newly-minted running mate JD Vance - did just that. But Melania skipped delivering a speech.
Ever since her husband was first elected in 2016, Melania Trump has broken all the rules of normal American presidential politics.
In the White House during Trump&rsquo;s first term, she was a reclusive figure compared to other first ladies, focusing on a narrow set of interests.
And since her husband left office, she has not been seen by her husband&rsquo;s side on many occasions.
She wasn&rsquo;t there when he had his mugshot taken in Atlanta. She wasn't there in New York when he became the first former president to be convicted of a crime. And she wasn&rsquo;t there when he officially won his party&rsquo;s presidential nomination, for the third time, on Monday.
The former first lady spoke in both 2020 and 2016 during Trump's presidential nomination. She was accused of borrowing from Michelle Obama&rsquo;s 2008 speech in her first appearance in 2016.&nbsp;
