  "account": "United Nations (AP) reported on Saturday that China and Russia took their turn to address the General Assembly, but their speeches weren't the highlight of the day. The foreign minister of Iceland, Thorgerdur Katrín Gunnarsdóttir, turned the criticisms of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on his fellow delegates. She called the leaders who refuse to negotiate a just peace and deny humanitarian aid \"moral cowards.\"\n\nCanada's Foreign Minister Anita Anand highlighted her country's efforts to strengthen ties with various countries, including Europe, India, China, and Africa, while increasing defense spending to meet NATO commitments. She emphasized that Canada is looking beyond traditional partners and is prepared to work together in a rapidly changing world. Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney has been advocating for \"middle powers\" to be self-reliant and uphold international order.\n\nA rumor surfaced that Chinese leader Xi Jinping would visit New York instead of Washington after meeting with President Donald Trump, but this turned out to be false. Vice President Han Zheng addressed the assembly as planned, and Chinese President Xi Jinping returned to Beijing.",
