It’s early morning in New York City, where US President Donald Trump has a packed schedule ahead of him.
In a short while, the president will leave Trump Tower to head to the UN, where he is scheduled to deliver remarks at 09:55 ET/14:45 BST.
Administration officials have signalled that much of his speech will focus on what, in his opinion, the US has done to confront challenges around the world, including Iran’s nuclear programme.
Additionally, he is also likely to reiterate long-standing grievances against the UN and some of its member states over topics ranging from climate change to migration, and markets will be watching for any commentary on energy supplies or AI.
Following the speech, Trump has a long series of back-to-back meetings and events, including an event to sign a deal over Greenland, meetings with the UK and Japan’s prime Ministers, Ukraine’s Volodymyr Zelensky and Gulf leaders.
Notably, some of these events will take place without TV crews from the White House press pool which have pulled out of coverage in solidarity with CNN, which Trump has banned from the White House along with Politico and MSNOW.
