From The New York Times, it's The Headlines. I'm Tracey Mumford. Today's Wednesday, September 23rd. Here's what we're covering. This morning in New York, the president of Iran, Massoud Poseshkin, will address the United Nations General Assembly. He and a small group of other Iranian officials were given permission by the State Department to enter the U.S., even though the two countries are at war. It's the first time in the eight-decade history of the United Nations that the leader of a country at war with the U.S. has made the trip to the U.N.' 's headquarters. Pozeshkin is being protected by the U.S. Secret Service as his standard protocol for visiting leaders, and he's been escorted through Manhattan in a convoy of SUVs as he's held a marathon of diplomatic meetings.
His speech will come just one day after President Trump addressed the General Assembly, renewing his scorched-earth threats against Iran.
Do I drive them into hell with no chance of survival and no hope of future greatness or generations?
Overall, in his remarks, Trump laid out a vision for a winner-takes-all world order that was effectively a rejection of the founding principles of the U.N.
We are reasserting American power, including American military power, where necessary, in our region and around the world.
When the U.N. was established after World War II, its aim was to, quote, save succeeding generations from the scourge of war — as it said in its charter, which was written largely by the U.S. But from the stage yesterday, Trump took a strikingly aggressive tone. Beyond his threat to wipe out Iran, he also promised that Cuba's government would fall, one way or another. And he justified his administration's sweeping claims on Venezuelan oil by saying, "...to the victor belong the spoils." In response, other world leaders pushed back on Trump's vision of a dog-eat-dog survival of the fittest world, even if they didn't name Trump directly. The president of France warned against returning to the, quote, law of the jungle.
And the leader of Angola described the world as being in the midst of global anarchy, quote, in which the use of force prevails over the force of reason and law. Meanwhile, with world leaders gathered in New York for the UN General Assembly, President Trump signed a security agreement over Greenland. Over the last year and a half, Trump repeatedly demanded that the island become part of the US, even threatening to take it by force, saying it was crucial for national security for the US to have a bigger foothold in the Arctic. The new agreement marks a major retreat from the height of those threats. it explicitly does not give any territory to the U.S. It does pave the way for the U.S. to expand its military presence on the island, including by opening new bases, though an existing treaty from the 1950s already allowed for that.
We are stopping Obamacare enrollment for about 750,000 people, 750,000 people who we believe are fraudulently enrolled in the program.
How did President Trump’s UN speech redefine his vision for U.S. global power?
In Washington yesterday, Vice President J.D. Vance held a press conference to announce that the administration has ejected several hundred thousand people from the Affordable Care Act health insurance marketplaces.
We're actually making sure that the people receiving Obamacare subsidies are actually entitled to receive them. Amazingly, we weren't doing that before.
Vance estimated that the move will save the government over $2 billion. In total, the number of people cut off from the marketplaces amounts to about 4% of the Americans who get health insurance that way.
