MANHATTAN (WABC) — President Trump is set to address the 80th session of the United Nations’ General Assembly Tuesday morning.
“President Trump will deliver a major speech touting the renewal of American strength around the world, his historic accomplishments in. 8 months including the ending of 7 global wars and conflicts, the president will also touch upon how globalist institutions have significantly decayed the world order, and he will articulate his straightforward and constructive vision for the world,” White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt said.
It will be Trump’s first speech to the annual gathering since his return to office.
Following his speech, the President will hold one-on-one meetings with the U.N. Secretary General António Guterres and the leaders of Ukraine, Argentina and the European Union.
He is also expected to hold a group meeting with officials from Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Indonesia, Turkey, Pakistan, Egypt, the United Arab Emirates and Jordan.
Israel’s war against Hamas in Gaza and the Russia-Ukraine war are likely to dominate the U.N. General Assembly this week.
Several prominent world leaders, including key U.S. allies such as the United Kingdom and Canada, are moving to formally recognizing Palestinian statehood as international alarm builds over Israel’s ground offensive in Gaza and an ongoing hunger crisis in Gaza.
On Monday, French President Emmanuel Macron declared at the U.N. General Assembly that France will now recognize a Palestinian state.
Trump has said he wants the war in Gaza to end, but has disagreed with other nations on the issue of Palestinian statehood.
