UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres will step down as head of the UN in 2026, and on Thursday he issued a stark warning to world leaders upon the occasion of this last annual priorities speech.
He said that international cooperation is being pushed “onto deathwatch” by widening geopolitical rifts and increased and unpredictable violations of international law and sharp cuts to humanitarian aid. While not naming names, the United States under President Trump was probably high on the UN official’s mind, and certainly the audience was thinking it in the wake of the Venezuela operation as well as threatened US strikes on Iran.
