US President Donald Trump wrote on his Truth Social account that he and his wife Melania Trump could have died during the UN General Assembly on a stalled escalator, "Komersant Ukrainian" reports.
“It’s amazing that Melania and I didn’t fall face first onto the sharp metal steps of the escalator – only because we were holding on to the handrails,” Trump said.
Trump also called it triple sabotage to shut down the escalator, the teleprompter and the audio system in the hall during his visit to the UN headquarters in New York.
Trump said that all the footage from the CCTV cameras near the escalator should be preserved, especially the footage with the emergency stop button, and the US Secret Service was involved in this.
He called for the arrest of the people responsible for this.
