"President Donald Trump is set to speak before the United Nations' General Assembly Tuesday morning, addressing world leaders with remarks that will tout the "renewal of American strength around the world," according to the White House. It's the first time he's addressed the body since taking office for his second term, and given Trump's deeply strained past relationship with the U.N. nobody is expecting a kumbaya sort of speech."
"Trump's address comes as the United States's relationships with its allies have become strained, thanks largely to Trump's trade wars and hostility to multilateralism. Countries like France and the United Kingdom have also moved to recognize a Palestinian state, which Trump opposes."
