Immediate Follow Up of Highest Priority Gold and Silver Targets

T2 Metals Corp. (TSXV: TWO,OTC:TWOSF) (OTCQB: TWOSF) (WKN: A2DR6E) (‘T2 Metals’ or the ‘Company’) is pleased to announce commencement of fieldwork at the Shanghai gold-silver project in the Mayo Mining District, Yukon Territory, Canada. Shanghai covers 27.4 sq km, lies 12 km west of Hecla Mining’s Keno Hill silver mine, and is midway between the AurMac, Eagle and Raven intrusion-related gold deposits.

Shanghai sits within the northwest portion of the Yukon’s Tombstone Gold Belt, one of North America’s most active and gold-endowed mining districts, and home to the famous Klondike goldfield (Figure 1). Recent exploration of the Tombstone Gold Belt by Snowline Gold Corp (Valley project), Sitka Gold Corp (RC Gold project), Banyan Gold Corp (AurMac project) and Sanatana Resources Inc have highlighted the potential for major new gold discoveries and value creation.

Highlights:

  • Proximity of Shanghai to infrastructure and competitor gold/silver projects has enabled a rapid start to field work;
  • High grade gold and silver values (1.1 oz/tonne Au, 790.5 oz/tonne Ag) reported from historical trenches to be followed up immediately. Location of these trenches can now accurately be determined with modern LiDAR data;
  • Project is undrilled despite sitting within multiple sites of exploration, resource estimation and mining by peer companies;
  • Class 3 permit in place that enables immediate drilling, access construction and camp establishment;

This first field program by T2 Metals will comprise a helicopter-supported team to collect rock chip and soil samples in the vicinity of geochemical anomalies discovered by previous soil and rock sampling campaigns. Furthermore, the team will field check and sample historical workings which targeted high-grade silver-base metal veins of Keno Hill style (see T2 Metals’ press release dated September 10, 2025). Shanghai lies only 6 km from Banyan Gold Corp’s AurMac camp and 35 km from the Mayo airfield, making helicopter support from either location very efficient.

Fieldwork will focus on two distinct areas and target styles:

  • Zone 1: the area covering and surrounding the historical Shanghai Silver Mine where Keno Hill – style silver (‘Ag’) – zinc (‘Zn’) – lead (‘Pb’) – gold (‘Au’) mineralization was developed underground in the 1960s by Silver Titan Mines; and
  • Zone 2: areas with multi-element and gold soil anomalism that suggest the presence of intrusion related Au mineralization.

The Zone 1 target covers the Keno Hill Quartzite that lies immediately beneath the Robert Service Thrust Fault, in a geological setting that matches that of the nearby Keno Hill mines. Exploration by Silver Titan Mines Ltd at the Shanghai Silver Mine reported high silver grades from underground workings that followed veins including 9.1 m @ 1182.8 g/t Ag, 8.2% Pb and 7.2% Zn (average width of 1.5 m) (Yukon Minfile 105M 028).

Trenches dug between 1960 and 1966 by Silver Titan Mines Ltd along strike from the Shanghai Silver Mine have been located utilizing an airborne LiDAR survey carried out by project partner Shawn Ryan (Figure 3). Sampling reports from these trenches (see Yukon Minfile #105M027 and Minfile #105M028) describe highly fractured quartz veins and reported grab samples which contained 1.1 oz/t Au, 790.5 oz/t Ag, 0.4% Pb, and 10.4% Cu associated with a halo of chlorite alteration (see Yukon Minfile #ARMC005629 and Doherty, R. A. 2022)*1.

Additional historical trenching has been identified using LiDAR at the Titan prospect, which lies 5.5km from the Shanghai Silver Mine in a similar setting associated with northeast trending faults beneath the Robert Service Thrust Fault (see Figure 3).

These reported samples and observations, in combination with high values of Ag, Au, Zn, and Pb in more regional soil samples, suggests potential for Keno Hill – style polymetallic mineralization (Figure 2).

The Zone 2 target is located within the Upper Proterozoic Hyland Group Yusezyu Formation comprised of phyllite and rare calc silicate rocks that sits above the Roberts Service Thrust Fault in a setting analogous to Banyan Gold Corp’s AurMac deposit. Exploration in this area will focus on broad areas where prior soil samples by partner Shawn Ryan discovered anomalous gold, antimony (‘Sb’), and arsenic (‘As’) that are coincident with Late Cretaceous age quartz monzonite / granodiorite intrusions, referred to as ‘Tombstone Intrusions’ (Figure 4). This association of Au-Sb-As and the presence of Tombstone Intrusions is commonly observed at other intrusion-related gold deposits including those also being explored by Sitka Gold Corp and Snowline Gold Corp.

Mark Saxon, CEO of T2 Metals Corp. said ‘Shanghai is close to major gold projects which delivers both high prospectivity and simplified logistics. We have managed to hit the ground running utilizing local helicopter and camp facilities to follow up existing targets. The work history on the Shanghai project is limited considering its geological potential, due to private ownership by Shawn Ryan for more than 20 years. It is exciting to have the opportunity to draw together historic trench sampling that discovered high grade gold and silver, with modern LiDAR, to identify new undrilled targets.’

About the Historical Shanghai Silver Mine

The Shanghai Silver Mine is hosted by the Keno Hill Quartzite immediately below the regionally extensive Robert Service Thrust fault. It lies on the northern limb of the McQuesten Antiform, presenting a mirror image of the Keno Hill camp found on the southern limb of this antiform.

During the 1960’s the Shanghai Silver Mine was explored by Silver Titan Mines Ltd with close to 800 m of underground development. Assays reported from underground workings that followed veins included 9.1 m @ 1182.8 g/t Ag, 8.2% Pb and 7.2% Zn (average width of 1.5 m) (Yukon Minfile 105M 028).

About the Tombstone Gold Belt

The Tombstone Gold Belt, a component of the larger Tintina Gold Province, is a highly prospective metallogenic province in the Yukon, with a range of well-known and emerging gold discoveries. The belt is characterized by a suite of mid-Cretaceous, reduced, felsic intrusions known as the Tombstone Plutonic Suite. These intrusive bodies and the surrounding host rocks have created conditions for the formation of numerous Intrusion-Related Gold Systems (IRGS). Exploration efforts have identified multiple mineralized corridors with gold hosted in sheeted quartz veins and disseminated mineralization within both the intrusive bodies and the hornfelsed country rocks.

Gold mineralization in the Tombstone Gold Belt is typically associated with a distinctive multi-element signature that includes bismuth, tellurium, and tungsten, along with arsenic and antimony. Gold-bearing fluids exsolved from cooling intrusions and preferentially deposited gold in brittle, structurally controlled environments. Both high-grade, structurally-controlled vein systems and lower-grade, bulk-tonnage deposits are known. The region hosts numerous significant deposits and is the site of recent discoveries by companies such as Snowline Gold Corp., Banyan Gold Corp. and Sitka Gold Corp.

Here’s a quick recap of the crypto landscape for Wednesday (September 24) as of 9:00 a.m. UTC.

Get the latest insights on Bitcoin, Ethereum and altcoins, along with a round-up of key cryptocurrency market news.

Bitcoin and Ethereum price update

Bitcoin (BTC) was priced at US$113,040, trading flat in the past 24 hours. Its lowest valuation of the day was US$111,369, while the cryptocurrency’s price peaked at US$113,176 as of Wednesday.

Bitcoin price performance, September 24, 2025.

Chart via TradingView

Bitcoin’s modest losses follow last week’s Federal Reserve meeting where the Fed cut its benchmark rate by 25 basis points (to 4.00–4.25 percent) but emphasized that this was a “risk management cut.”

The unwinding produced one of 2025’s biggest deleveraging events on Monday, producing a heavy sell-off worth nearly US$1.7 billion and a near-term correction rather than an immediate risk-on rally.

Bitcoin dominance in the crypto market is 56.27 percent, showing a slight rise week-on-week.

Meanwhile, Ether (ETH) has largely held in the $4,100–$4,200 range, currently at US$4,179.13 amid similar risk-off sentiment. Notably, analysts at Citigroup still see room for ETH to rise, reiterating a year-end ETH target of about US$4,300

Altcoin price update

  • Solana (SOL) was priced at US$212.53, a decrease of 3.2 percent over the last 24 hours. Its lowest valuation of the day so far was US$206.33, while its highest value was US$220.43.
  • XRP was trading for US$2.88, up by 0.4 percent in the past 24 hours. Its lowest valuation of the day was US$2.81 while its highest level was US$2.89.
  • Sui (SUI) was valued at US$3.40, up by 0.3 percent over the past 24 hours. Its highest price point on Wednesday was US$3.41, while its lowest was US$3.26.
  • Cardano (ADA) was priced at US$0.8227, trading flat over 24 hours. Its lowest value of the day was at US$0.7976, while its highest was US$0.8258.

Crypto derivatives analytics and market indicators

Total Bitcoin futures open interest was at 721.39K BTC, equivalent to US$84.19 billion, down by 0.05 percent over four hours but up 0.19 percent over 24 hours. The perpetual funding rate for BTC was at 0.0066 percent, while the ETH funding rate stood at 0.0025 percent.

Perpetual funding rates on BTC and ETH contracts remain slightly positive but have eased in recent days, reflecting a waning bullish bias.

At the same time, a major liquidation wave struck crypto markets: over US$1.8 billion of leveraged positions (mostly long) were wiped out in a single day as Bitcoin dipped below US$112,000 and Ether under US$4,150.

Despite the setback, analyst Tony Sycamore notes that this forced sell-off could clear weak holders: a retracement into the US$100–105k “buy zone” would flush out over-leveraged traders and pave the way for a year-end rally.

ETF Data

Institutional Bitcoin demand is now outpacing new issuance. Bitwise data shows that US spot Bitcoin exchange-traded fund (ETF) inflows far exceed new Bitcoin supply. Monday’s (September 15) Bitcoin ETF inflows were about US$260 million versus ETH’s US$360 million, followed by an uptick to US$292 million on Tuesday (September 16).

K33 and other data providers confirm last week’s 20,685 BTC net inflow helped U. spot BTC ETF holdings reach about 1.32 million BTC. Analysts point out ETF demand continues to outpace new supply, a structural support that matters even while short-term price action hiccups occur.

Fear and Greed Index snapshot

CMC’s Crypto Fear & Greed Index has remained firmly in neutral territory over the past week, but sentiment gauges have continued to cooled from its prolonged neutral positions.

The index currently stands around 39 (fear), dipping into ‘fear’ territory for the first time in 3 weeks.

Today’s crypto news to know

SEC opens door to new wave of crypto ETFs

The US Securities and Exchange Commission has streamlined its rules for launching crypto exchange-traded funds, paving the way for a flood of new products.

Asset managers are already filing for ETFs tied to Solana, XRP, and other tokens, which could arrive as early as October. Under the new framework, issuers no longer face a lengthy case-by-case review, cutting approval times from up to nine months to as little as 75 days.

Industry leaders say this will accelerate competition and lower barriers for investors seeking exposure to digital assets.

Grayscale was first to move, debuting a multi-coin ETF just two days after the rule change. Analysts anticipate that more launches will be announced before the year ends.

Tether targets US$500 billion valuation with record raise

Stablecoin giant Tether is reportedly seeking as much as US$20 billion from private investors in what could be one of the largest funding rounds in financial history, according to a Bloomberg report.

The raise would give the company a valuation near US$500 billion, putting it in the same league as global tech leaders like SpaceX and OpenAI.

Executives say the capital would fuel expansion beyond its core USDT stablecoin, into energy, AI, commodities trading, and communications. Tether’s flagship token dominates the market with a capitalization above US$173 billion, more than twice that of its nearest competitor USDC.

The firm is also preparing to relaunch a compliant US dollar stablecoin, USAT, under the country’s new regulatory framework.

Ethereum co-founder warns against ‘closed tech’ in public systems

Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin has raised concerns that closed, proprietary technologies are consolidating power in ways that threaten open innovation.

In a recent blog post, he argued that closed systems across health care, identity, and civic infrastructure create environments ripe for monopolies and abuse.

Buterin urged wider adoption of “full-stack openness,” including stronger copyleft licensing that forces companies to share improvements to open-source software. He also called for transparency in hardware and biological monitoring, citing pandemic-era vaccine distribution as an example of inequality driven by centralized control.

His comments come as the Ethereum Foundation and Solana Policy Institute collectively pledged US$1 million in legal support for Tornado Cash developer Roman Storm.

Highlights:

  • Surface sampling above the Pinos Cuates and Dos de Mayo mines has extended high-grade gold-silver mineralization over a vertical distance of up to 80 metres

  • Silver grades of 2,280 g/t and 1,444 g/t at surface imply a potential vertical zonation with silver increasing upwards in the system

  • A newly defined mineralized vein called El Capulin lies parallel to, and approximately 200 metres away from, the Dos de mayo vein and has been traced and sampled for approximately 375 metres along strike with grades up to 6.27 g/t Au and 99 g/t Ag

  • The identification of El Capulin and the vertical extension of gold-silver mineralization have significantly increased the potential of the project

‘We are extremely pleased with how the combination of underground and surface sampling is coming together to define a strong, well-defined and high-grade vein system at El Potrero ,’ stated Robert Archer, Pinnacle’s President & CEO.  ‘On the Dos de Mayo trend, the higher silver grades at surface continue to suggest there may be some vertical zonation, with silver increasing upwards.  As one moves uphill to El Capulin, the continued presence of gold-silver mineralization up to 1720 masl infers that mineralization here could extend downwards to similar levels seen on the Dos de Mayo structure, or a vertical distance of approximately 200 metres.  These observations are consistent with low sulphidation systems in the Topia District and elsewhere in Mexico and bode well for the potential to develop significant zones of mineralization.’

Above the Dos de Mayo mine, the previously announced ( June 2, 2025 ) 13.2 g/t Au and 2,280 g/t Ag over 0.30 metres is accompanied by a new grab sample assaying 9.9 g/t Au and 1,444 g/t Ag over 0.35 metres .  These, and other samples, effectively extend the mineralization from an elevation of 1490 masl (metres above sea level) to 1570 masl, a vertical distance of 80 metres (see Longitudinal Section below).  Above the Pinos Cuates mine, surface channel sampling returned up to 37.4 g/t Au and 755 g/t Ag over 1.2 metres , while sampling in a small underground working called El Jabali returned up to 36.4 g/t Au and 1,029 g/t Ag over 1.4 metres , together defining a vertical distance of 45 metres from 1520 masl to 1565 masl.  There is an unexplored gap of approximately 120 metres between the Dos de Mayo and Pinos Cuates mines where there is no outcrop exposure or underground workings, but the two mines define a strike length of approximately 325 metres.

The El Capulín vein is a northwest-southeast-trending structure and has been mapped along a 375 m strike, about the same length defined by the Dos de Mayo and Pinos Cuates mineralization, interrupted and displaced by a northeast-trending fault (see plan map below).  In contrast to the breccia vein on the Dos de Mayo trend, it is a crystalline quartz vein with bands of lattice bladed quartz.  It has an azimuth of 325° with a dip of 65° to 85° NE and width of 45 to 60 cm, or it may appear as a zone of 1 to 5 cm-wide quartz veinlets with a lattice bladed texture, with azimuth of 320°, dip of 80°NE and width of up to 2 metres.

To date, 36 samples have been taken on El Capulin, with the highest value being 6.27 g/t Au and 99 g/t Ag and the lowest being 0.117 g/t Au.  To date, the assay results are more consistent than in the Dos de Mayo vein, probably due to its crystalline rather than brecciated texture.  A notable point about this structure is that it is located at an elevation of 1640 to 1680 masl (metres above sea level) in the SE segment and up to 1720 masl in the NW segment, a vertical distance of up to 80 metres.  If mineralization extends downward to the 1500 masl level seen at Dos de Mayo then there is considerable potential to discover additional mineralization.

Underground mapping and sampling is continuing at the historic La Dura mine to the northwest of Pinos Cuates, and any mineralization here would effectively extend the strike length of the Dos de Mayo vein for another 150 metres, for a total strike length of approximately 500 metres.  Mapping of limited outcrop has traced the vein for a strike length of 1,600 metres to date.

QA/QC

The technical results contained in this news release have been reported in accordance with National Instrument 43-101 Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects (‘NI 43-101’).  Pinnacle has implemented industry standard practices for sample preparation, security and analysis given the stage of the Project.  This has included common industry QA/QC procedures to monitor the quality of the assay database, including inserting certified reference material samples and blank samples into sample batches on a predetermined frequency basis.

Systematic chip channel sampling was completed across exposed mineralized structures using a hammer and maul.  The protocol for sample lengths established that they were not longer than two metres or shorter than 0.3 metres.  The veins tend to be steeply dipping to vertical, and so these samples are reasonably close to representing the true widths of the structures.  Samples were collected along the structural strike or oblique to the main structural trend.  Grab samples, by their nature, are only considered as indicative of local mineralization and should not be considered as representative.

All samples were bagged in pre-numbered plastic bags; each bag had a numbered tag inside and were tied off with adhesive tape and then bulk bagged in rice bags in batches not to exceed 40 kg.  They were then numbered, and batch bags were tied off with plastic ties and delivered directly to the SGS laboratory facility in Durango, Mexico for preparation and analysis.  The lab is accredited to ISO/IEC 17025:2017.  All Samples were delivered in person by the contract geologist who conducted the sampling under the supervision of the QP.

SGS sample preparation code G_PRP89 including weight determination, crushing, drying, splitting, and pulverizing was used following industry best practices where all samples were crushed to 75% less than 2 mm, riffle split off 250 g, pulverized split to >85% passing 75 microns (μm).  All samples were analyzed for gold using code GA_FAA30V5 with a Fire Assay determination on 30g samples with an Atomic Absorption Spectography finish.  An ICP-OES analysis package (Inductively Coupled Plasma – Optical Emission Spectrometry) including 33 elements and 4-acid digestion was performed (code GE_ICP40Q12) to determine Ag, Zn, Pb, Cu and other elements.

Qualified Person

Mr. Jorge Ortega, P. Geo, a Qualified Person, and independent from Pinnacle, as defined by National Instrument 43-101, and the author of the NI 43-101 Technical Report for the Potrero Project, has reviewed, verified and approved for disclosure the technical information contained in this news release.

About the Potrero Property

El Potrero is located in the prolific Sierra Madre Occidental of western Mexico and lies within 35 kilometres of four operating mines, including the 4,000 tonnes per day (tpd) Ciénega Mine (Fresnillo), the 1,000 tpd Tahuehueto Mine (Luca Mining) and the 250 tpd Topia Mine (Guanajuato Silver).

High-grade gold-silver mineralization occurs in a low sulphidation epithermal breccia vein system hosted within andesites of the Lower Volcanic Series and has three historic mines along a 500 metre strike length.  The property has been in private hands for almost 40 years and has never been systematically explored by modern methods, leaving significant exploration potential.

A previously operational 100 tpd plant on site can be refurbished / rebuilt and historic underground mine workings rehabilitated at relatively low cost in order to achieve near-term production once permits are in place. The property is road accessible with a power line within three kilometres.  Surface rights covering the plant and mine area are privately owned (no community issues).

Pinnacle will earn an initial 50% interest immediately upon commencing production.  The goal would then be to generate sufficient cash flow with which to further develop the project and increase the Company’s ownership to 100% subject to a 2% NSR.  If successful, this approach would be less dilutive for shareholders than relying on the equity markets to finance the growth of the Company.

About Pinnacle Silver and Gold Corp.

Pinnacle is focused on the development of precious metals projects in the Americas.  The high-grade Potrero gold-silver project in Mexico’s Sierra Madre Belt hosts an underexplored low-sulphidation epithermal vein system and provides the potential for near-term production . In the prolific Red Lake District of northwestern Ontario, the Company owns a 100% interest in the past-producing, high-grade Argosy Gold Mine and the adjacent North Birch Project with an eight-kilometre-long target horizon . With a seasoned, highly successful management team and quality projects, Pinnacle Silver and Gold is committed to building long -term , sustainable value for shareholders.

President Donald Trump sharply criticized a wave of European nations that recently recognized a Palestinian state, warning that such moves reward Hamas and encourage continued conflict in Gaza.

‘As everyone knows, I have also been deeply engaged in seeking a cease-fire in Gaza. Have to get that done. You have to get it done,’ Trump said. 

‘Unfortunately, Hamas has repeatedly rejected reasonable offers to make peace. We can’t forget Oct. 7, can we? Now, as if to encourage continued conflict, some of this body is seeking to unilaterally recognize a Palestinian state… this would be a reward for these horrible atrocities, including Oct. 7.’

His remarks came one day after French President Emmanuel Macron announced his nation would recognize a Palestinian state, hosting a meeting at the United Nations General Assembly along with Saudi Arabia on a two-state solution. 

Several other longtime Israeli allies — the United Kingdom, Australia and Canada — did the same on Sunday, citing the ongoing humanitarian crisis in Gaza and expanding settlements and violence by settlers in the West Bank.

The U.S. remains squarely on the side of Israel, and Trump said such recognition undermines efforts to free hostages held in Gaza and risks emboldening Hamas.

‘Even while they refuse to release the hostages or accept the cease-fire, instead of giving to Hamas and giving so much because they’ve taken so much, they have taken so much. This could have been solved so long ago,’ Trump said. ‘Instead of giving in to Hamas as ransom demands, those who want peace should be united with one message: release the hostages now. Just release the hostages.’

Trump said he always knew the last 20 remaining hostages would be ‘the hardest’ to get back — but said the bodies of the deceased were just as important to reclaim.

‘Those parents came to me and they want them back… as though they were alive. They want them every bit as much as if their son or daughter were alive.’

On Monday, France became the first major Western nuclear power and a permanent member of the U.N. Security Council from the G7 to formally recognize Palestine.

Macron said: ‘The time has come to no longer talk about the existence of Israel — it’s self-evident. The time has come to do justice to the Palestinians, to recognize the state of Palestine.’

‘We must do this to save lives.’

Meanwhile, Israeli Ambassador to the U.N. Danny Danon warned there will be ‘consequences’ for nations that recognize Palestine. 

On Tuesday, Trump will hold a closed-door meeting with Arab leaders who are expected to implore him to urge Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to do more to end the war in Gaza.

Trump is expected to present his Middle Eastern counterparts with the U.S. outlook for peace and post-war governance in Gaza.

President Donald Trump slammed the United Nations for not aiding his administration’s peace push and for ‘creating new problems’ for the U.S. and member nations, while questioning its purpose and also offering ‘the hand of American leadership and friendship’ to all countries in the body.

The president, during his first address of his second administration to the United Nations General Assembly Tuesday, highlighted renewed American strength while slamming the international body.

‘Not only is the U.N. not solving the problems it should, it, too often, is actually creating new problems for us to solve,’ the president said. ‘The best example is the number one political issue of our time: the crisis of uncontrolled migration. It is uncontrolled. Your countries are being ruined.’

The president said the U.N. is ‘funding an assault on Western countries and their borders.’

‘The U.N. is supporting people that are illegally coming into the United States, and we have to get them out,’ Trump said. ‘The U.N. also provided food, shelter, transportation and debit cards to illegal aliens.’

He added: ‘The UN is supposed to stop invasions — not create them and not finance them.’

Trump said illegal immigrants are also ‘pouring into Europe.’

‘It is not sustainable and, because they choose to be politically correct, they are doing absolutely nothing about it,’ Trump said, later adding: ‘Your countries are going to hell. In America, we’ve taken bold action to swiftly shut down uncontrolled migration.’

‘Once we started detaining and deporting everyone who crossed the border and removing illegal aliens from the United States, they simply stop coming. They’re not coming anymore,’ Trump said, while thanking El Salvador for ‘receiving and jailing criminals’ that entered the United States.

During his address, the president highlighted his successful efforts to negotiate peace around the world —specifically Armenia and Azerbaijan, Thailand and Cambodia, Rwanda and the Democratic Republic of the Congo, among others.

‘I ended seven wars, and in all cases they were raging with countless, thousands of people being killed,’ he said. ‘This includes Cambodia, India, and Thailand, Kosovo and Serbia, the Congo and Rwanda, a vicious violent war that was Pakistan and India, Israel and Iran, Egypt and Ethiopia, and Armenia and Azerbaijan.’

He added: ‘No president or prime minister, and for that matter, no other country has ever done anything close to that. And I did it in just seven months. It’s never happened before. There’s never been anything like that.’

The president then took another swipe at the U.N.

‘I’m very honored to have done it. It’s too bad that I had to do these things instead of the United Nations doing them. And sadly, in all cases, the United Nations did not even try to help in any of them,’ Trump continued. ‘I ended seven wars, dealt with the leaders of each and every one of these countries, and never even received a phone call from the United Nations offering to help in finalizing the deal.’

‘I didn’t think of it at the time because I was too busy working to save millions of lives — that is, saving and stopping of these wars,’ Trump said. ‘But later, I realized that the United Nations wasn’t there for us. They weren’t there.’

‘That being the case, what is the purpose of the United Nations?’ Trump asked. ‘The U.N. has such tremendous potential … But it’s not even coming close to living up to that potential. All they seem to do is write a really strongly worded letter and then never follow that letter up — it’s empty words.’

Trump added: ‘Empty words don’t solve war. The only thing that solves war and wars is action.’

Meanwhile, the president touted America under his leadership as having ‘the strongest economy, the strongest borders, the strongest military, the strongest friendships and the strongest spirit of any nation on the face of the earth.’

‘This is indeed the golden age of America,’ Trump said.

The president added that the United States is ‘once again the best country on earth to do business.’

‘And many people in this room are investing in America, and it’s turned out to be an awfully good investment during this eight-month period,’ he said.

The president touted his visit to the Middle East in May to ‘rebuild our partnerships’ in Saudi Arabia, Qatar and the United Arab Emirates. 

‘My administration has negotiated one historic trade deal after another, including with the United Kingdom, the European Union, Japan, South Korea, Vietnam, Indonesia, the Philippines, Malaysia, and many, many others,’ Trump said.

The president also said that under his leadership, America is ‘respected again, like it has never been respected before.’

‘At the NATO summit in June, virtually all NATO members formally committed to increased defense spending, at my request, from 2% to 5% of GDP, making our alliance far stronger and more powerful than it was ever before,’ the president said.

The president returned to his criticisms of the United Nations, questioning if the U.N. can ‘play a productive role’ in peace around the world.

‘I’ve come here today to offer the hand of American leadership and friendship to any nation in this assembly that is willing to join us in forging a safer, more prosperous world,’ Trump said. ‘And it’s a world that will be much happier with a dramatically better future within our reach. But to get there, we must reject the failed approaches of the past and work together to confront some of the greatest threats in history.’

Trump said there is ‘no more serious danger to our planet today than the most powerful and destructive of weapons ever devised by man, of which the United States, as you know, has many.’

‘Just as I did in my first term, I’ve made containing these threats a top priority, starting with the nation of Iran. My position is very simple: The world’s number one sponsor of terror can never be allowed to possess the most dangerous weapon,’ Trump said. ‘That’s why, shortly after taking office, I sent the so-called Supreme Leader a letter making a generous offer — I extended a pledge of full cooperation in exchange for a suspension of Iran’s nuclear program.’

Trump added: ‘The regime’s answer was to continue their constant threats to their neighbors and U.S. interest throughout the region and some great countries that are right nearby.’

But Trump touted his decisiveness, and said: ‘Today, many of Iran’s former military commanders, in fact, I can say almost all of them, are no longer with us. They’re dead.’

The president highlighted his Operation Midnight Hammer, which marked the largest B-2 operational strike in history and represented the United States’ move to deliver a decisive blow against Iran’s nuclear program back in June.

The president said that he then ‘immediately brokered an end to the 12-day war, as it’s called, between Israel and Iran with both sides agreeing to fight, fight no longer.’

‘As everyone knows, I have also been deeply engaged in seeking a ceasefire in Gaza. We have to get that done — have to get it done,’ Trump said. ‘Unfortunately, Hamas has repeatedly rejected reasonable offers to make peace. We can’t forget Oct. 7, can we?’

‘Now, as if to encourage continued conflict, some of this body is seeking to unilaterally recognize a Palestinian state,’ Trump continued. ‘The rewards would be too great for Hamas terrorists for their atrocities. This would be a reward for these horrible atrocities, including Oct. 7, even while they refuse to release the hostages or accept the ceasefire.’

Trump demanded that nations not give in to Hamas.

‘Instead of giving in to Hamas’s ransom demands, those who want peace should be united with one message: Release the hostages now,’ Trump said. ‘Just release the hostages now. We have to get it done.’

President Donald Trump drew laughs from world leaders within moments of taking the stage at the United Nations General Assembly on Tuesday.

Trump joked about a broken escalator in the UN building as well as the broken teleprompters right in front of him.

‘Thank you very much, I very much appreciate it,’ he said to the applause as he took the stage.

‘And I don’t mind making this speech without a teleprompter because the teleprompter is not working,’ he said as the leaders laughed.

‘I feel very happy to be up here with you nevertheless, and that way you speak more from the heart. I can only say that whoever’s operating this teleprompter is in big trouble,’ he added, drawing more laughter.

Trump again drew laughs later on by recounting his dissatisfaction with the UN’s assistance in global conflicts.

‘I ended seven wars, dealt with the leaders of these countries and never even received a phone call from the United Nations offering to help in finalizing the deal,’ Trump said. ‘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’ve fallen. But she’s in great shape, we’re both in good shape. We both stood,’ he added, drawing more laughter.

‘These are the two things I got from the United Nations: a bad escalator and a bad teleprompter,’ he said.

Throughout his speech, Trump hailed efforts for peace and warned European nations against continuing to tolerate illegal immigration. Trump also blasted the global climate change agenda as a ‘con job.’

The House Oversight Committee is setting its sights on insurance companies that may have discriminated against entities with right-wing views.

The panel is also looking into whether retirees’ pension accounts were being used to invest in progressive policies they may not necessarily agree with, Fox News Digital has learned.

‘The Committee on Oversight and Government Reform is investigating improper restrictions on access to capital and capital markets of individuals and entities based on political viewpoints or involvement in certain industries (such as cryptocurrency, energy, and firearms),’ Committee Chairman James Comer, R-Ky., wrote to the National Association of Insurance Commissioners (NAIC).

‘The Committee has engaged with whistleblowers who had their insurance policies cancelled for widely-held political positions or for operating legal businesses considered out of favor by progressive activists.’

The move is an expansion of the House Oversight Committee’s ongoing investigation into whether public financial institutions engaged in debanking against people and entities with right-wing views.

Comer is also probing whether companies implementing progressive policies are doing so at the expense of millions of retired Americans’ personal investments.

He wrote to Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent, in his capacity as acting commissioner of the Internal Revenue Service (IRS), that his panel ‘is investigating the prolific use of proxy proposals and other activism targeting corporate boards of directors by activists pursuing political agendas at the expense of the retirement and personal savings of Americans.’

‘Specifically, the Committee seeks to understand how giant investment managers and pension fund managers, aided by proxy advisory firms, sidestepped or abandoned their fiduciary duties to beneficiaries to pursue a political agenda and whether new legislation is needed to protect investors,’ Comer stated.

‘At a minimum, Americans deserve to fully know if their hard-earned savings are being used in a progressive playbook.’

The letter accused certain large asset management firms like BlackRock of putting clients’ money into green energy initiatives, for example, rather than more profitable areas, in order to promote a left-wing agenda.

BlackRock pushed back on such accusations in a public statement on its website, however.

‘One of the most critical tasks of an asset manager is to provide clients with insights on short- and long-term trends in the global economy that can impact their portfolios. We do this across all sectors – from healthcare to technology to energy,’ the company wrote.

‘Climate risk is one such trend given its implications for the economy. We believe that companies that better manage their exposure to climate risk and capitalize on opportunities will generate better long term financial outcomes.’

BlackRock’s website also asserted that the ‘choice of where to invest ultimately rests with our clients.’

‘We are bound to adhere to their investment guidelines and objectives. We do not dictate particular investment strategies,’ it said.

And on a broader scale, the committee looking into whether publicly-traded companies are running afoul of President Donald Trump’s executive order outlawing diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) practices by simply listing it under another name.

‘[T]he Committee remains concerned following reports of publicly traded companies intentionally camouflaging or rebranding diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) and environmental, social, and governance (ESG) policies to hide such discrimination from ‘the Trump Administration, courts or influential activists,” Comer wrote to several organizations opposing corporate discrimination, including the Alliance Defending Freedom. 

‘At minimum, shareholders and retirement plan beneficiaries deserve transparency around discriminatory practices employed by corporate directors and officers as such behavior is rebranded. Replacing DEI and ESG titles with ’employee engagement’ or ‘inclusion and impact’ represents yet another deceptive practice.’

Trump’s order, signed in January 2025, barred financial institutions, major corporations, colleges and universities, law enforcement agencies and specific industries like medicine and commercial airlines from promoting or implementing DEI standards.

Comer accused the previous White House of promoting discriminatory practices, however, in a statement to Fox News Digital.

‘The Oversight Committee is investigating discriminatory practices in the American financial system and the Biden Administration’s role in supporting them,’ he wrote. ‘Whether it is using the boardroom to achieve what the political left could not accomplish at the ballot box, or canceling Americans’ insurance policies and debanking them for their political views, these actions are wrong and deprive Americans of their constitutional rights.’

Fox News Digital reached out to the IRS and NAIC for comment but did not immediately hear back.

Jurors in Fort Pierce, Florida, began deliberations Tuesday in the federal criminal trial of Ryan Routh, the man accused of attempting to assassinate then-presidential candidate Donald Trump at his Palm Beach golf course last year.

Routh, 59, faces five federal charges, including attempting to assassinate a major presidential candidate, assaulting a federal officer, and multiple firearms offenses. He has pleaded not guilty to all charges. If convicted, he could face life in prison.

Prosecutors used their closing arguments Tuesday to emphasize both the digital and forensic evidence presented at trial and what they described as Routh’s clear intent: to kill Trump. 

‘This was not a publicity stunt,’ Assistant U.S. Attorney Christopher Browne told the jury. ‘The evidence has shown one thing and one thing only — the defendant wanted Donald Trump dead,’ Browne said, adding that the worst part was that he ‘almost got away’ with it.

Browne told jurors that Routh ‘excessively’ stalked Trump’s locations and whereabouts in the weeks before the alleged assassination attempt on Sept. 15, 2024. 

He noted that Routh allegedly traveled on 17 separate occasions to scope out the Trump International Golf Club in West Palm Beach. These were ‘reconnaissance’ missions, Browne argued.

Browne reminded jurors that there were 19 rounds found in the magazine of the SKS rifle recovered at the scene, including one in the chamber. 

There is ‘no doubt, no reasonable doubt, no doubt whatsoever that it was the man,’ Browne said, pointing at Routh, ‘who was hiding’ in the sniper’s nest. 

Browne told jurors that his motives were also on clear display, pointing to lyrics from a rap song Routh wrote about killing Trump with a sniper rifle — one he penned after he was caught and arrested by the FBI. 

‘It’s not every case where the defendant writes down his intent on a piece of paper,’ Browne said.

The prosecution spent most of its time Tuesday focusing on count one of the five federal criminal charges Routh is facing: Attempting to assassinate a major presidential candidate. 

The contrast between Routh’s defense and federal prosecutors is a dynamic that has been on stark display throughout the trial. 

Federal prosecutors spent roughly two weeks walking jurors through hundreds of exhibits and testimony from 38 witnesses to make their case against Routh.

Prosecutors methodically built their case with cellphone data placing Routh at Trump International Golf Club in West Palm Beach, where they said he created a ‘sniper’s nest’ near the sixth hole. They also introduced bank records, burner phone purchases, and DNA evidence linking him to the SKS rifle recovered at the scene.

Routh confirmed he understood and told Cannon he would not testify on his own behalf, despite her repeated offers for him to reconsider and consult with standby counsel.
