President Donald Trump is set to speak on Tuesday at the General Assembly of the United Nations, an organization he’s hit with funding cuts as major conflicts rage overseas.
The White House told NOTUS Trump’s address will focus on sovereignty and liberty in addition to ensuring the United Nations “delivers on their core mandates.”
Peace will be another major theme: The Trump administration has dubbed the president “peacemaker-in-chief” for his efforts to end a number of conflicts abroad. Secretary of State Marco Rubio and Ambassador to the United Nations Michael Waltz, freshly confirmed by the Senate on Friday, are also expected to attend.
