He emphasized that \"there is no global government\" and reaffirmed his stance against any form of global taxation, stating, \"as long as I am president, there will be no global taxes.\"\n\nFurthermore, Trump advocated for the complete dissolution of the International Criminal Court (ICC), criticizing its alleged anti-US nature and opposition to US service members being subjected to its jurisdiction. He vowed that the US would never permit its personnel to face investigations or short trials by the ICC, describing it as an \"anti-American tribunal with no restriction over us.\" Trump urged all nations to formally withdraw from the ICC, emphasizing that its existence is incompatible with addressing genuine atrocities globally. He also mocked UN staff officials for focusing on criticizing the US for protecting children from transgender issues and enforcing immigration laws.",
