President Donald Trump will address the United Nations General Assembly, focusing on peace initiatives, regional security and Iran's nuclear program as the war in Iran enters its eighth month.
President Donald Trump is scheduled to deliver a speech to the United Nations General Assembly in New York on Tuesday. U.S. ambassador to the UN Mike Waltz said the remarks will cover peace agreements the administration has pursued, actions in the Western Hemisphere, progress on a 20-point Gaza peace plan and the "importance of ensuring that Iran never has a nuclear weapon."
The address comes as the UN Human Rights Council recently reported "reasonable grounds to believe" the United States carried out indiscriminate attacks on an Iranian school and a residential area in February. Senior officials indicated Iran will be a central topic of discussion at the assembly.
Trump is also expected to hold side meetings with several leaders, including Venezuela's interim president Delcy Rodríguez, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, and heads of the Gulf Cooperation Council. Earlier this week he signed a Russian sanctions bill and announced a forthcoming agreement granting the United States permanent security control in Greenland alongside Danish and Greenlandic officials.
