Stopping a uniformly integrable discrete-time martingale at any stopping time preserves uniform integrability, including when the stopping time can be infinite. For C=supn​E∣Xn​∣, the optional stopping theorem and the Markov inequality give
E[∣Xn∧T​∣1{∣Xn∧T​∣>K}​]≤supj​E[∣Xj​∣1{∣Xj​∣>R}​]+RC/K.

Choose R first, then K, to make this uniformly small.
