He will also take part in a trilateral signing ceremony to formalize a new Greenland security agreement, according to a White House official.

World leaders are set to gather in New York to discuss an array of global issues for the annual United Nations General Assembly.

Here’s a look at the state of affairs on some topics that are likely to be mentioned this week:

War in the Middle East: Pauses in hostilities between the US and Iran have not proved lasting , with the sides exchanging on-and-off attacks in the months since they first agreed to a temporary ceasefire in early April. In July, US President Donald Trump said the ceasefire was “over” but negotiations would continue. Traffic remains suppressed in the Strait of Hormuz, hampering the global oil market . Meanwhile, conflicts involving Iranian proxies have raged around the region , and Trump’s Board of Peace has yet to produce a path forward for a lasting end to Israel’s war in Gaza. Trump has claimed many times that Iran is desperate to cut a deal, but has said recently that he expects Tehran to wait until after the November midterm elections because it wants to hurt him politically.

Russia and Ukraine: Years after Russia’s multi-pronged invasion of Ukraine in 2022, the European continent remains roiled by the conflict and a humanitarian disaster is unfolding in Ukraine, which is running critically low on air defenses. Russia continues to hit Kyiv and other cities with drones and missiles, as Ukraine hammers Russian fuel infrastructure. The US sent a high-level delegation to Moscow and Kyiv this month as Washington renews a push to end the conflict, but the visit did not yield any major announcements.

Artificial intelligence: The Trump administration will convene a high-level event on AI on the sidelines of the UNGA Wednesday, sources told CNN. The issue will loom large over the global gathering. Questions about the fast-developing technology have taken on new urgency amid dire warnings about the potential existential threat posed by artificial intelligence. Trump has raged against the idea of government regulation on AI, alleging concerns about the technology are a “hoax ,” though he announced plans last week to create an “AI force” and appoint a US czar to oversee the matter.

President Donald Trump is set to deliver his sixth address to the United Nations General Assembly.

Take a look at key moments from his past speeches to the global gathering:

2017: In his first speech, Trump sought to encapsulate his worldview through the theme of “sovereignty,” suggesting that nations acting in their own self-interest would create a more stable world. He centered the address on reforming UN practices and was optimistic about its ability to improve global security. Trump also brought frank assessments to a range of sticky global flashpoints. He delivered a doomsday warning to North Korea and suggested Kim Jong Un could not survive an American attack. He directed similar ire toward Iran, which he accused of supporting terrorists and destabilizing the Mideast.

2018: Trump’s second address served to reaffirm his commitment to signature policies and convictions. He boasted that his administration “has accomplished more than almost any administration in the history of our country,” which was received with laughter from many attendees. The president also defended his hardline position on Iran and his trade war with China, touted his diplomatic engagement with North Korea, and reaffirmed his rejection of globalism and the prominence of international institutions.

2019: The president spelled out a staunchly nationalistic platform as he opened his third address. Trump slammed China, accusing the nation of breaking promises to the international community to adopt reforms. He took a shot at Venezuela’s Nicolás Maduro and also called Iran’s regime one of the “greatest security threats facing peace-loving nations.”

2020: World leaders gathered virtually due to the coronavirus pandemic. Trump praised his own handling of the global health emergency and touted his role in facilitating peace agreements between the United Arab Emirates, Bahrain and Israel. He attacked China, calling Covid-19 the “China virus” and urging the UN to hold Beijing accountable for the pandemic.

2025: Trump used last year’s address to castigate foreign allies for supposedly ruining their countries with unchecked migration, fueling foreign conflicts with purchases of Russian energy, and ignoring his own peacemaking efforts. He addressed the most pressing foreign conflicts — the wars in Ukraine and Gaza — only in passing, reserving most of his speech to bemoan efforts to combat climate change, tout his administration and take swipes at former President Joe Biden.

• 今日联合国动态：在持续不断的全球危机中，联合国大会第八十一届会议一般性辩论今日开幕。美国总统唐纳德·特朗普是今日第二位发言者，此前巴西总统路易斯·伊纳西奥·卢拉·达席尔瓦将发表讲话。

• 议程安排：据白宫官员透露，特朗普预计今天上午在与英国和日本领导人通话后，还将与乌克兰总统泽连斯基会面。此外，他还将出席三方签字仪式，正式签署新的格陵兰安全协议。

• 主要关注领域：联合国大会期间必将讨论的一些最重要议题包括伊朗战争和更广泛的中东不稳定局势、俄罗斯-乌克兰战争、气候变化和人工智能的影响。

本周，全球领导人将在联合国大会上讨论一些关键议题。

陆军下士阿尔瓦·冈萨雷斯/美国陆军

世界各国领导人将齐聚纽约，参加一年一度的联合国大会，讨论一系列全球性问题。

以下是本周可能被提及的一些话题的最新进展：

中东战事：美伊之间的敌对行动暂停并未持久，自4月初双方首次达成临时停火协议以来，几个月来双方断断续续地发生袭击。7月，美国总统唐纳德·特朗普表示停火“结束”，但谈判将继续进行。霍尔木兹海峡的交通仍然受阻，阻碍了全球石油市场。与此同时，伊朗代理人在该地区引发的冲突仍在持续，而特朗普的和平委员会尚未找到结束以色列在加沙战争的持久方案。特朗普曾多次声称伊朗迫切希望达成协议，但最近又表示，他预计德黑兰会等到11月中期选举之后再采取行动，因为伊朗希望在政治上打击他。

俄罗斯与乌克兰：2022年俄罗斯多线入侵乌克兰数年后，欧洲大陆仍饱受冲突蹂躏，乌克兰的防空力量岌岌可危，人道主义灾难正在上演。俄罗斯继续使用无人机和导弹袭击基辅和其他城市，而乌克兰则猛烈攻击俄罗斯的燃料基础设施。本月，美国派遣高级代表团访问莫斯科和基辅，华盛顿重申了结束冲突的努力，但此次访问并未取得任何重大成果。

据CNN报道，消息人士透露，特朗普政府将于周三在联合国大会期间召开一次高级别人工智能会议。人工智能问题将成为此次全球盛会的焦点。随着人工智能可能构成生存威胁的严峻警告不断出现，人们对这项快速发展的技术的疑问也变得更加紧迫。特朗普一直强烈反对政府对人工智能进行监管，声称对这项技术的担忧是“骗局”，但他上周宣布计划组建一支“人工智能部队”，并任命一位美国“人工智能沙皇”来负责此事。

特朗普今天将发表讲话。以下是总统以往在联合国大会上的讲话回顾。

美国总统唐纳德·特朗普将第六次在联合国大会上发表讲话。

让我们回顾一下他过去在全球大会上发表的演讲中的几个关键时刻：

2017年：在首次演讲中，特朗普试图通过“主权”这一主题来概括他的世界观，他认为各国以自身利益为导向行事将创造一个更加稳定的世界。他将演讲的重点放在改革联合国运作方式上，并对联合国提升全球安全的能力持乐观态度。特朗普还坦率地评估了一系列棘手的全球冲突热点。他向朝鲜发出末日警告，暗示金正恩无法在美国的打击下幸存。他对伊朗也表达了类似的愤怒，指责伊朗支持恐怖分子并破坏中东稳定。

2018年：特朗普的第二次国情咨文重申了他对标志性政策和信念的承诺。他吹嘘说，他的政府“取得的成就几乎超过了我国历史上任何一届政府”，这番话引来许多与会者的嘲笑。总统还为他对伊朗的强硬立场和对华贸易战辩护，吹嘘了他与朝鲜的外交接触，并重申了他对全球化和国际机构的反对。

2019年：总统在第三次国情咨文中阐述了其坚定的民族主义纲领。特朗普抨击中国，指责中国违背了对国际社会做出的改革承诺。他还抨击了委内瑞拉总统尼古拉斯·马杜罗，并称伊朗政权是“爱好和平国家面临的最大安全威胁之一”。

2020年：由于新冠疫情，世界各国领导人以线上方式举行会议。特朗普赞扬了自己对全球卫生紧急事件的处理，并吹嘘自己在促成阿联酋、巴林和以色列之间的和平协议方面发挥的作用。他抨击中国，称新冠病毒为“中国病毒”，并敦促联合国追究北京对疫情的责任。

2025年：特朗普在去年的国情咨文中抨击外国盟友，指责他们通过不受控制的移民潮破坏国家，通过购买俄罗斯能源加剧外国冲突，并无视他自己为促成和平所做的努力。他只是轻描淡写地提及了最紧迫的外国冲突——乌克兰战争和加沙战争，而将大部分篇幅用于抱怨应对气候变化的努力、吹嘘自己的政府以及抨击前总统乔·拜登。
