Confirmation (transcript, recording, or reliable report) that the First Lady made this call during the 2025 UN General Assembly.
Multiple independent reports confirm that First Lady Melania Trump used her 2025 appearance at the United Nations during the 80th General Assembly to launch an international initiative focused on children, technology, and education, and to invite global participation. A White House transcript of her UNGA remarks (from September 23, 2025) states she launched “Fostering the Future Together, a global coalition of nations committed to enhancing the well‑being of children through the promotion of education, innovation, and technology,” with membership drawn from spouses or equivalents of heads of government, to be implemented in their respective countries. UPI’s coverage of the same speech notes that she announced a global initiative at the UN General Assembly to improve children’s well‑being “through education, innovation and technology,” and describes the coalition as involving international partners who will implement its goals locally. Other reputable outlets likewise report that the initiative was announced at UNGA 2025 as a global coalition inviting nations to participate in a mission centered on children, technology, and education.
Verdict: True, because contemporaneous official and independent reports show that at the 2025 UN General Assembly she launched a global coalition and explicitly framed it as an international mission to improve children’s well‑being through technology and education, effectively calling on other nations to join that effort.
