After a speech attacking the United Nations, President Donald Trump softened his tone when sitting at a bilateral meeting with the organization’s Secretary-General António Guterres directly afterward, APA reports citing CNN.

However, the previous teleprompter and escalator malfunctions were not without mention from Trump.

“It’s always an honor to be here. We’ve done this before, and this was a little more exciting because of the escalator, the teleprompter — these things happen. But I will tell you that your people have treated us with great respect. Our country is behind the United Nations 100 percent,” Trump said.

“I think the potential of the United Nations is incredible, really incredible. It can do so much, so I’m behind it,” Trump continued. “I may disagree with it sometimes, but I am so behind it, because I think the potential for peace for this institution is so great. So, I just want to thank you for treating us so warmly.”
