Trump at UN defends Iran war, rejects AI oversight

President Donald Trump used his UN speech to defend the ongoing US war with Iran, saying he faces a "big decision" on whether to strike a deal or "annihilate" the Islamic Republic, while rejecting global controls on artificial intelligence. Trump framed "American power" as the solution to world problems, predicting a deal with Iran after the US midterm elections and suggesting Cuba's government "will fall." He also dismissed international AI oversight proposals backed by 22 leaders, including Australia's prime minister. Trump ordered US officials to use the term "superintelligence" instead of "artificial intelligence," a concept experts warn could pose major risks to humanity. His address came six weeks before midterm elections amid criticism that his foreign actions are destabilizing the world.
