On Tuesday, US President Donald Trump will deliver a speech at the United Nations General Assembly where he aims to defend the war with Iran and emphasize progress towards peace, according to a White House official. The speech is expected to highlight the administration's efforts to prevent international bodies, including the UN, from undermining US sovereignty and advancing a left-leaning agenda.
Trump has previously criticized the UN for allegedly allowing other countries to "go to hell" on issues such as climate policy and mass migration.
The presidency of Trump has been marked by involvement in various conflicts, recently highlighted by his administration's strikes on Iran. As instability continues in the Middle East and the five-year-old war in Ukraine persists, Trump is set to meet with 11 world leaders including UK Prime Minister Andrew Burnham, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy, and leaders from the Gulf states.
These meetings come amid growing concerns over the activities of Iran-backed militants and the potential impact on global oil markets. Trump's first-ever meeting with Venezuela's interim leader Delcy Rodriguez is also noteworthy, as it could influence the country's oil sector and political landscape.
