Trump set for whirlwind UN meetings with wars in Iran, Ukraine on agenda

US President Donald Trump is set to attend a series of meetings with leaders from four continents at the UN General Assembly. His schedule includes a speech to assembled delegates, followed by bilateral and group meetings with at least 11 world leaders. According to Al-Monitor and Free Malaysia Today, these meetings take place against the backdrop of an unstable Middle East and a four-and-a-half-year-old war in Ukraine.

Trump's meetings will include British Prime Minister Boris Johnson, not Andy Burnham as per Free Malaysia Today, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy, and representatives of the Gulf states, including the UAE, Saudi Arabia, Oman, Bahrain, Kuwait, and Qatar. He also met with French President Emmanuel Macron on Monday.

The US president's speech is expected to focus on his foreign policy achievements, including his efforts to mediate conflicts, and his claims of success on the battlefield. He may also tout his efforts to bring more Arab countries into the Abraham Accords with Israel. Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian is due to arrive in New York, and Trump has said he is open to a possible meeting with him, amid ongoing tensions between the US and Iran.
