United States President Donald Trump reiterated threats against Iran and defended recent military actions in an address to the United Nations General Assembly. Speaking in New York, Trump declared that Washington is prepared to pursue either a post-midterm agreement or "far more drastic steps" against Tehran. He also asserted that the US-led military campaign against Iran has been a success.
In addition to his focus on the Middle East, Trump rejected international oversight of artificial intelligence and targeted the International Criminal Court. He further stated that Cuba's government would soon fall.
