At the United Nations headquarters in New York, an escalator unexpectedly stopped mid-ascent just as Donald Trump and Melania Trump stepped on it. The couple then climbed the stationary escalator on foot. The White House called for a probe, implying potential sabotage. UN officials countered it was a triggered safety mechanism activated by someone ahead. Trump later quipped about “a bad teleprompter” too — both incidents fueling speculation amid tense US-UN dynamics.
