Focus on Iran conflict

The president will argue that his administration's war with Iran stopped Tehran from acquiring a nuclear weapon. A White House official stated he intends to highlight progress toward peace and a global order aligned with American interests.

Criticism of international bodies

Trump is expected to criticize the United Nations regarding efforts to prevent encroachment on US sovereignty. He will also address what his administration views as a left-wing agenda within other international organizations.

Upcoming diplomatic meetings

Following the speech, Trump plans to meet with at least eleven world leaders in bilateral or group settings. The schedule includes talks with British Prime Minister Andy Burnham and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy later on Tuesday.
