NEW YORK – Former President Donald Trump arrived in New York City Monday evening ahead of a scheduled address to the United Nations General Assembly, setting the stage for a day of high-stakes diplomacy shadowed by ongoing international crises.
Trump, who landed via Marine One helicopter, is expected to outline U.S. efforts to end global conflicts and expand the Abraham Accords during his speech to the assembly on Tuesday. According to a schedule of planned bilateral meetings, he will sit down with leaders from Ukraine, Argentina, the European Union, and Syria.
A notable omission from the list of meetings is Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese. The exclusion comes amid reported tensions following Australia’s recent move to recognize a Palestinian state. This diplomatic snub highlights the contentious nature of the issue, which has gained momentum with over 140 nations now extending recognition to Palestine.
The assembly convenes against a backdrop of escalating violence in Gaza and continued conflict in Ukraine, ensuring that Trump’s address and his engagements with world leaders will be closely watched.
