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

Trump is expected to use the address to defend his Iran policy and press ahead with talks on Gaza, Ukraine and a Greenland security deal.

  • On Tuesday, President Donald Trump addressed the United Nations General Assembly, defending his decision to launch a war against Iran and touting his foreign policy record during the 81st session.
  • The conflict against Iran nears its seven-month mark, driving regional instability and economic strain. Trump has maintained an adversarial stance toward the international body, cutting the United Nations budget by 15% and eliminating more than 4,000 positions.
  • Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen and Greenland Prime Minister Jens-Frederik Nielsen joined Trump to sign an agreement expanding the U.S. military footprint in Greenland while confirming the territory remains under Danish sovereignty.
  • Energy markets remain unsettled as Brent crude hovers around $100 per barrel, up from the $70 range before the war, with oil flows significantly below pre-war levels. The disruption weighs on Republican midterm prospects.
  • Sideline meetings are scheduled with British Prime Minister Andy Burnham, Japanese Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi, and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy to discuss international security and economic cooperation on the week's margins.
