Trump and Zelensky to meet at UN: Live Updates

The US president told delegations in the general assembly their countries “are going to hell” and questioned the organization’s role in resolving conflicts

US President Donald Trump is expected to hold a meeting with Ukraine’s Vladimir Zelensky on the sidelines of the UN General Assembly in New York.

Trump delivered a typical speech to the assembly on Tuesday, in which he was initially denied use of a teleprompter (and for which he promised “big trouble,” to laughter in the audience).

While criticising mass migration, Trump also told the gathered delegations that the peace he “forged” during his first presidential term had been  “shattered” by the “guns of war” and questioned the role of the UN in resolving recent conflicts and political crises.
