Trump to address UN General Assembly as Iran conflict dominates agenda

President Donald Trump is traveling to New York City to address the 81st session of the UN General Assembly on Tuesday, with the eight-month-old war with Iran dominating the agenda and his scheduled meetings with Gulf leaders. Trump will meet with Gulf leaders impacted by the conflict, which has disrupted shipping through key straits and affected global oil prices. He will also hold talks with leaders from France, the UK, Japan, Ukraine, and Venezuela, and sign a security deal with Denmark and Greenland. The trip follows a UN report finding reasonable grounds that US strikes in Iran constituted war crimes, which the State Department rejected. Trump is expected to tout his peace efforts, including a Gaza plan, while avoiding direct meetings with Iranian officials.
