Trump Returns to UN Amid Iran Conflict, AI Fears, and Questions Over Its Future

President Donald Trump is set to address the U.N. General Assembly on Tuesday amid global turmoil from his war against Iran, surging anxiety over artificial intelligence, and questions about the U.N.'s future due to reduced U.S. financial support. Trump intends to frame his address as using American power to confront challenges and reshape the world to U.S. benefit, according to a White House official. He will hold talks with leaders from the UK, Japan, Ukraine, and Venezuela, plus Gulf nations, amid the Iran conflict. The war with Iran has become a political drag on Republicans ahead of midterm elections, while oil prices remain elevated due to attacks on Saudi infrastructure. Trump is also set to sign a Greenland deal and address frustration over the Russia-Ukraine war.
