Trump to address UN General Assembly as world leaders gather in New York

edition.cnn.com

President Donald Trump is scheduled to speak at the UN General Assembly in New York on Tuesday amid global conflicts, with plans to meet Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky and Gulf leaders to discuss the war with Iran. The US is open to meeting with Iranian officials, though no engagement is scheduled. Zelensky arrived in New York announcing a new drone agreement ready to be signed, without specifying participating nations, while presenting security proposals to end the war with Russia. Britain's Prime Minister Andy Burnham will hold his first face-to-face meeting with Trump, and a trilateral signing ceremony with Denmark and Greenland will formalize a new security agreement. The 81st UNGA session, themed "restoring trust, managing transformation," gathers all 193 member states under the presidency of Bangladesh's Khalilur Rahman. The US and Iran remain at war, and Trump has insisted Iran wants a deal, following a House vote requiring him to end the conflict.
