UN General Assembly: "Peace makers and technology explainers": The big Trump show at the United Nations

US President Donald Trump has delivered a speech to the United Nations General Assembly in New York, praising the United States and claiming it is leading in nearly all areas. He also claimed that America is better off than ever before and that he has helped to end eight wars, although fact-checkers have disputed this claim. Trump promised to end the Ukraine conflict and the war with Iran soon, and threatened to completely destroy the latter if an agreement is not reached.

The speech comes ahead of the US midterm elections on November 3 and amid low approval ratings for Trump.
