Trump to address UN General Assembly as Iran conflict enters eighth month

President Donald Trump will address the United Nations General Assembly in New York on Tuesday, with remarks expected to cover peace deals, the Western Hemisphere, and ensuring Iran never obtains a nuclear weapon, according to U.N. Ambassador Mike Waltz. The speech comes as the Iran war nears its eighth month and follows a U.N. Human Rights Council report finding "reasonable grounds to believe" the U.S. committed war crimes in February attacks on an Iranian school and residential area. Trump is also scheduled to meet with world leaders, including Venezuela's interim President Delcy Rodriguez and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy. Trump's 2025 address was marked by mishaps, including a stopped escalator and broken teleprompter, which he blamed on the U.N. This year, he also announced the U.S. will take permanent control over security in Greenland, with a deal expected to be signed Tuesday.
