Trump Heads to U.N. for Speech, Meetings on Gaza, Iran and Ukraine

Trump will use the UN stage to defend his Iran policy and hold talks with leaders from Britain, Ukraine, Japan, Venezuela and Greenland.

  • On Tuesday, President Donald Trump returned to the United Nations headquarters to address the General Assembly, defending his decision to start a war with Iran while asserting his role as a global peacemaker.

  • A newly signed security agreement with Denmark and Greenland formalizes permanent United States military presence on the island, effectively ending recurring threats from the president to take control by force.
  • Beyond his address, Trump scheduled bilateral meetings with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy and Venezuela's acting President Delcy Rodriguez, marking their first session since the capture of former leader Nicolas Maduro.
  • Technical malfunctions during Trump's previous UN appearance—including escalator and teleprompter failures—have drawn renewed scrutiny, which he characterized as acts of 'deliberate sabotage.
