News when you wanted with Bloomberg News Now I'm Nathan Hager. President Donald Trump has kicked off a speech before the United Nations General Assembly with praise for his policies and the US economy.
Two and a half centuries after the cause of liberty found its home. On this continent. I can report to you with pride that America is back. And our country is stronger today.
How does President Trump frame his UN General Assembly speech and foreign‑policy agenda?
than ever before.
In his address to global leaders, the president is defending his decision to start war with Iran and step up military action across the Western Hemisphere. Bloomberg Washington correspondent Tyler Kendall is covering this speech before a global body the president has derided in the past.
Under the second Trump administration, we have seen the U.S. withhold nearly four billion dollars in dues to the organization, as well as withdraw the U.S. from thirty-one UN affiliate affiliated entities. So that's going to definitely be one part of this. The other part, though, of course, is going to be President Trump touting his foreign policy objectives. And
Bloomberg's Tyler Kendall reports the president is also outlining his administration's push to keep the UN from infringing on US sovereignty and imposing what he calls a radical left wing agenda. Outgoing UN Secretary General Antonio Guterres used his speech to call for greater artificial intelligence regulation to prevent a dystopian future of rampant corporate power and killer robots.
Humans are increasingly ending power to machines. with artificial agents going wrong.
Why does UN Secretary‑General Guterres call for stronger AI regulation and what risks does he cite?
and little autonomous weapons going from science fiction to military reality.
This was Antonio Guterres' final speech as leader of the UN. Anthropic CEO Dario Amade and OpenAI chief Sam Altman planned to hold a virtual briefing with the UN Security Council tomorrow on AI's future. Before the president took to the podium, he was asked if he had a message for Russian President Vladimir Putin. His response settle the war. It's a message he could take to Ukraine's president Vladimir Zelensky later today. Bloomberg's Tony Halper. The President has been pushing Ukraine to stop attacks on Russian energy infrastructure.
domestic pressure, he's got elections around the corner. There's not a lot he can do about the situation in Iran, but he thinks he can push Zelensky to roll back on striking Russian uh infrastructure, Russian oil refineries, and that that may ease the situation.
That's Bloomberg's Tony Haupin. Ahead of today's meeting, Ukraine said it's attacked two major Russian refineries in the last two days.
What are the latest developments in oil markets, including the Strait of Hormuz and Saudi pipeline news?
Crude oil is falling, though, on reports from a Japanese news agency that Iran has discussed reopening the Strait of Hormuz within seven days if the U.S. lifts its naval blockade. And sources tell Bloomberg News Saudi Arabia is in the early stages of reopening its key east-west pipeline. Will Kennedy is Bloomberg's Middle East news director.
Saudi Arabia is offering more oil for people to buy inside the Persian Gulf, so it does seem to be continuing to be able to get some oil out of the Persian Gulf on shuttle tankers to be bought once those shuttles have been made. And interestingly it's been telling European refiners that it may be able to start resupplying from Yambu on the Red Sea coast, suggesting that it is close to at least partially opening that. east-west pipeline that was closed uh a week or two ago by an attack by drones from Iraq.
That's Bloomberg's Will Kennedy. And in his speech, President Trump urged Iran to make a deal. Sources tell Bloomberg the president is not expected to meet with Iran's president while he's in New York for the UN.
