US President Donald Trump is scheduled to address the United Nations General Assembly, or UNGA, today, September 22, at about 9:45 a.m. US time, or 8:45 p.m. Thailand time. He will speak after Brazilian President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva. Mike Waltz, the US ambassador and permanent representative to the United Nations, said the speech will focus on how Trump and his administration confront complex global problems directly, unlike previous administrations that put things off. Trump will discuss ensuring Iran does not obtain nuclear weapons and will report progress on a peace plan for the Gaza Strip. He is also expected to back the development of artificial intelligence, or AI, so that the United States keeps its global leadership, and to touch on the opening of the Strait of Hormuz, efforts to end the war between Russia and Ukraine, and reform of the United Nations. Trump is also expected to meet leaders from several countries on the sidelines of the UNGA, including British Prime Minister Andy Burnham, Japanese Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi, and leaders from various countries in the Persian Gulf region.
