The president framed the arrest and the new energy agreement as key foreign policy achievements. He did not provide specific terms of the oil deal or details on the military operation during the address. The speech comes amid broader U.N. meetings, where Trump also criticized Iran and Cuba. The Cuban delegation walked out after Trump referred to their country as a "failed state."
