channelnewsasia.com

President Donald Trump returns to the UN General Assembly on Tuesday amid global anxiety over his seven-month-old war against Iran, the rising social impact of artificial intelligence, and questions about the UN's future as he scales back US financial support. Trump is expected to meet with British Prime Minister Andy Burnham, Japanese Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi, and Venezuela's acting president Delcy Rodríguez, plus Gulf leaders to discuss the Iran war and rebel attacks on Saudi Arabia. The conflict has shaken oil markets, with Brent crude hovering near $100 per barrel, though US Navy escorts have improved Strait of Hormuz shipping. The president may also address Russia's war on Ukraine, expressing frustration over energy infrastructure strikes, and is set to sign a Greenland deal with Danish leaders. His foreign policy approach has become a drag on Republican midterm hopes, though officials say he will argue the world is better off under his leadership.
