US President Donald Trump is set to address the United Nations General Assembly in New York on Tuesday as wars in the Middle East and Ukraine dominate the international agenda.
Trump is expected to use his appearance at the 81st UN General Assembly to outline his administration’s approach to major global conflicts, although the full contents of his speech were not known ahead of the address. The Middle East crisis is expected to feature prominently as the war involving Iran continues to affect regional security and global energy markets.
Ukraine will also be a major focus of Trump’s diplomatic schedule. He is due to meet Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, with discussions expected to include efforts to reduce attacks on energy infrastructure and broader steps toward ending the war with Russia. Zelenskyy is also expected to seek additional US air-defence support.
Trump is scheduled to hold meetings with at least 11 foreign leaders during his visit, including leaders from Europe, the Middle East and South America. The meetings come as world leaders gather for a UN session covering conflicts, economic pressures, climate change and other global challenges.
