UN General Assembly opens with Trump, Zelensky talks in focus
The 81st UN General Assembly's high-level week opened Tuesday in New York with the general debate, themed "Restoring trust, managing transformation," focusing on Middle East and Ukraine crises amid multilateralism's decline. US President Donald Trump delivers a key speech and holds at least 11 bilateral meetings, including a highly anticipated session with Ukraine's Volodymyr Zelensky on de-escalation and energy security. He also meets Danish and Greenlandic leaders to sign a military agreement, plus Japan's premier. Trump will attend a Gulf Cooperation Council meeting amid Yemen and Iran tensions, and meet Venezuela's interim leader Delcy Rodriguez. French President Emmanuel Macron also has a packed schedule with African, Latin American, and Middle Eastern leaders.
