The first day of the UN General Assembly with Trump's threatening statements about Iran

The General Assembly of the United Nations began in New York and on the first day, Donald Trump, the President of the United States, and Emmanuel Macron, the President of France, spoke at the meeting.

As expected, the war between America and Iran was one of the main topics of the first day's discussions.

In his speech to the members of the United Nations, Donald Trump said that he was facing a "big decision"; whether to reach an agreement with Iran and allow this country to rebuild, or to "destroy" it. Trump later confirmed that the officials of the two countries met today for three hours; a meeting he described as "very productive".

Trump also talked about the war in Ukraine and claimed again that the war with Russia is coming to an end. In another part of his speech, he presented artificial intelligence as "superintelligence", called Cuba a "failed country" and called on countries to withdraw from the International Criminal Court, which he defined as "anti-American".

Later, Trump met for the first time with British Prime Minister Andy Burnham. The two sides talked about trade, Iran, prisoners and the Falkland Islands. After this meeting, the two officials gave a positive assessment of the negotiations at a press conference. Trump told the BBC reporter that Burnham "understands" and "knows what to do."

Trump's last bilateral meeting was held the same day with Volodymyr Zelensky, the president of Ukraine. In a joint press conference with Zelensky, Trump again said that Russia wants to continue negotiations, but did not specify when those negotiations would take place or whether or not Zelensky would be present. At the same time, in the UN General Assembly hall, Emmanuel Macron said that Ukraine must be supported and protected "more than ever".
