  "summary": "US President Donald Trump met with Arab and Muslim leaders at the United Nations General Assembly on Tuesday, praising them for their efforts in seeking a resolution to the ongoing war in the Middle East. Despite the meeting's high-profile nature, Trump did not announce any major outcomes, stating that his envoys had already engaged in discussions with Iranian officials. He credited his negotiators, Steve Witkoff, and his son-in-law, Jared Kushner, for leading the talks, expressing optimism about the prospects of a deal. Trump highlighted the strong bonds between him and the leaders, praising Turkey's Recep Tayyip Erdoğan as a \"fantastic guy\" and a \"tough cookie,\" and thanking them for the $21 trillion in US investments they have made since his presidency began in January 2025.",
