Trump to Address UN Amid Iran War and Domestic Pressures

President Donald Trump is expected to address the UN General Assembly on Tuesday morning, as he faces challenges extricating the US from a war with Iran that he launched in late February, which is impacting global oil and gas distribution and the world economy. Last year, Trump's speech was a full-scale attack on the UN, accusing it of inaction while he claimed to have ended seven wars. This year, he is also under domestic pressure ahead of midterm elections due to rising unpopularity driven by the increased cost of living. Trump is expected to tout a newly signed agreement with Denmark on Greenland's future and discuss Venezuela. He will also meet Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky. UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres, delivering his final speech, will lament the UN's inability to resolve major conflicts, noting there is "no improvement anywhere."
