President Donald Trump told the UN General Assembly that the US is "the hottest country in the world," praising its economy and military while claiming a drop in immigration and crime. Trump's address comes as the US-Iran war nears eight months, with the US claiming to have "obliterated" Iran's nuclear program and calling for Iran's "complete economic isolation." He also threatened to "annihilate" Iran if it doesn't agree to a peace deal. Nearly 130 heads of state attended the event, where outgoing UN Secretary General António Guterres warned about AI weapons and Israeli settlements in the West Bank. Trump also said he would "continue to seek to end" the Russia-Ukraine war.
