High-level UN summit to kick off with focus on Trump, Iran
The UN General Assembly is set to kick off in the coming moments, with world leaders and top diplomats gathered at Turtle Bay in Manhattan for the annual cattle call.
Most eyes at the session will be on US President Donald Trump, who is slated to speak second after Brazil’s Michel Temer. Trump is expected to devote much of his speech at the world body to deterring Iran.
Later in the morning, Iranian president Hassan Rouhani will speak at the session.
Also speaking Tuesday morning will be French President Emmanuel Macron, who has tried to broker a meeting between them, and Jordan’s King Abdullah, who has not.
