Trump told reporters: “I will meet with many leaders at the United Nations, maybe 20.” He continued: “Everyone wants to meet, but there is only one of me, so we will only meet with a few of them.” The 80th session of the United Nations General Assembly was opened on September 9th. As usual, it will include a high-level week. The general debates will be held from September 23 to 27, and again on the 29th of the same month. Russia will be represented by Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov. Trump is scheduled to deliver a speech next Tuesday, eight months into his second term, which has been marked by sharp cuts in U.S. foreign aid.
