Zelenskyy arrives in New York ahead of the 81st session of the United Nations General Assembly. The Ukrainian president met with former U.S. President Donald Trump at a reception in New York, marking their first direct conversation since Trump left office. Zelenskyy described the meeting as "positive and productive," highlighting discussions on global security and Ukraine's position on the international stage.
Meanwhile, Trump engaged with Middle East leaders in New York, addressing concerns over Iran's actions and regional stability. The talks focused on U.S. Military commitments and the impact of the ongoing conflict in the region. A separate meeting between Trump and Venezuela’s interim president Delcy Rodríguez took place at a Trump-hosted event, marking their first encounter since the ousting of former leader Nicolás Maduro.
In another development, Trump addressed the U.N. General Assembly, threatening to strike Iran again unless a peace deal is reached. His remarks came amid heightened tensions, with a single Iranian delegate present during the speech. Meanwhile, U.S. Officials met with Iranian representatives in New York, describing the talks as "very good," though no major breakthroughs were reported.
The U.N. Session in New York also saw strong statements from world leaders, including a sharp critique of Russia’s actions by British politician Andy Burnham.
