Trump to tout peace deals, defend Iran war in UN speech
President Donald Trump will address the UN General Assembly on Tuesday, expected to tout battlefield successes and peacemaking efforts while defending his stalled Iran war, which has caused economic damage via Strait of Hormuz closure. Trump will likely boast about US strength, justify the Iran conflict, and promote his Gaza ceasefire efforts and expansion of the Abraham Accords with Israel. He faces skepticism from world leaders, with analysts noting uncertainty over his remarks and reactions. Trump will hold side meetings with leaders including Britain's Andy Burnham, Ukraine's Volodymyr Zelensky, and Venezuela's Delcy Rodriguez. He may renew attacks on the UN, referencing last year's escalator and teleprompter incidents, despite paying $725 million in dues.
