Trump Heads to U.N. for Speech, Meetings on Gaza, Iran and Ukraine
Trump plans side meetings on Iran, Ukraine, Greenland and Gulf security as his war in Iran drives up energy prices and strains global commerce.
- On Tuesday, September 22, 2026, President Donald Trump addressed the United Nations General Assembly in New York, defending his decision to start a war with Iran while emphasizing his administration's confrontation of complex global problems.
- Nearing the seven-month mark of the war with Iran, conflict persists despite U.S. and Israeli operations, driving Brent crude prices to around $100 per barrel as the regime remains in power despite Trump's previous claims of having "demolished" nuclear capabilities.
- President Trump signed a security agreement with Denmark and Greenland on Tuesday to expand the U.S. military footprint on the island, resolving a diplomatic standoff after he previously threatened to "take over" the territory by force.
- On the sidelines of the assembly, Trump held bilateral meetings with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, British Prime Minister Andy Burnham, Japanese Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi, and Venezuela's acting President Delcy Rodriguez to discuss global security.
- Diplomatic efforts to bridge a "deep deficit of trust" between the U.S. and Iran remain stalled, as experts suggest China may eventually pressure Iran to end the conflict to protect its own long-term oil supply interests.
