UN General Assembly Trump

President Donald Trump has addressed the U.N. General Assembly at a challenging moment for the world and his presidency. In his speech on Tuesday, Trump made the case that he’s shown fortitude while other leaders have equivocated. The president started his address ticking off progress — including adding private sector jobs, stemming illegal migration and curbing crime before turning to a fulsome defense of his decision to start a war with Iran. Later in the day, Trump plans to meet with leaders from the U.K., Japan, and Venezuela, as well as Gulf Cooperation Council nations. The ongoing Iran conflict and its impact on oil markets are key topics.
