Overview
- President Donald Trump will deliver remarks to the U.N. General Assembly on Tuesday that U.S. officials say will stress preventing Iran from obtaining a nuclear weapon and highlight his administration’s peace agreements.
- After the speech Trump will hold a multilateral meeting with Gulf leaders where Iran is expected to be a key topic and he will hear Gulf concerns about regional security directly.
- The president will conduct bilateral pull‑asides with several leaders, including a face‑to‑face meeting with Venezuela’s interim president Delcy Rodriguez, the first since a U.S. operation captured Nicolás Maduro earlier this year.
- U.S. officials say an Iranian delegation has visas to attend the General Assembly but they have not confirmed any direct U.S.‑Iran talks, a development that market observers say has raised expectations of possible diplomacy by month’s end.
- Beyond conflicts, the U.S. agenda in New York will press issues such as sovereignty, U.N. reform, artificial intelligence and undersea infrastructure and will lead into a White House state visit for Xi Jinping that will include invited tech and business leaders.
