Trump Addresses UN General Assembly Vowing to Reshape the World on His Terms

President Donald Trump delivered his address to the United Nations General Assembly in New York City on Tuesday, September 22, telling world leaders he is reshaping the world to America's benefit. A White House official said ahead of the speech that Trump would make the case for how the United States is using its power to advance American interests on the global stage.

The speech centered on several of the administration's most pressing foreign policy priorities. U.N. Ambassador Mike Waltz told reporters beforehand that Trump would highlight progress on his 20-point peace plan in Gaza, U.S. actions in the Western Hemisphere, and the importance of ensuring Iran never acquires a nuclear weapon, as the war with Iran continues to shape the international agenda.

The address comes as two major conflicts, in Iran and Ukraine, along with concerns about rapidly developing artificial intelligence, hang over the annual gathering of world leaders at the General Assembly.
