Trump's week in review: China's Xi visits White House; UN General Assembly; Mamdani meeting
4. Trump meets with multiple world leaders
Trump held bilateral meetings with several world leaders at the U.N. General Assembly on Tuesday, including the leaders of the United Kingdom and Ukraine.
After a meeting with Trump, British Prime Minister Andy Burnham told him, “We’re still ready to play our part in the Middle East in terms of helping you stop the conflict” in Iran. He added, “We’re with you that Iran must never be a nuclear power.”
Burnham said the two also discussed trade, and Trump said immigration came up as well.
After Trump touted his record on securing the U.S. border, Burnham said his country is committed to “a controlled approach.” He said the U.K. has also reduced immigration.
“Crossings this summer were down 50 percent,” Burnham said, compared with six years ago.
Ahead of a bilateral meeting with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, Trump said the two leaders were “trying to figure out the solution” to the ongoing Russia-Ukraine conflict.
“I believe it’s going to happen,” the president said, while acknowledging that “we have a lot to talk about.”
Speaking with reporters alongside Zelensky after their meeting, Trump was asked about his meeting with members of the Iranian delegation.
“It was a very good meeting,” he said. Echoing his U.N. speech, Trump described Iran’s options as “greatness, potential greatness, or obliteration.”
