US president to address UN general assembly in New York after UK, France, Belgium, Canada, Australia and Portugal recognised a Palestinian state
The US president, Donald Trump, is expected to address the UN general assembly in New York at about 09:50 local time (14:50 BST), where world leaders have gathered for the 80th anniversary of the UN.
Trump is expected to deliver an aggressive speech decrying “globalist institutions”, which he will claim “have significantly decayed the world order”, a White House spokesperson said in a briefing.
After his speech, Trump will hold one-on-one meetings with UN secretary general António Guterres and the leaders of Ukraine, Argentina and the EU.
The US president will also hold a group meeting with officials from Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Indonesia, Turkey, Pakistan, Egypt, the United Arab Emirates and Jordan.
