Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelensky says he's asked President Trump for a new weapons package, including Patriot anti-missile systems, to support its war effort ahead of winter. Zelensky was speaking to Journal Editor-in-Chief Emma Tucker on the sidelines of the UN General Assembly following a meeting with Trump. While the leaders didn't discuss diesel prices, Zelensky says he believes Trump will seek a ceasefire to end attacks on energy infrastructure. and he admitted that Washington had pressured him to curb drone attacks on refineries, which have added to turmoil in global energy markets.

UN address is scheduled for later today. While staying with the General Assembly, Japanese Prime Minister Sanai Takaichi has called on the UN to remove references to so-called enemy states from its charter. Takaichi said that the term to describe defeated World War II nations had recently been weaponized by China and Russia to pressure Tokyo over its plans to ramp up defense spending. Takaichi said Japan has consistently pushed for nuclear disarmament, and she criticized the UN Security Council, saying the body was not functioning for international peace. A change to the UN Charter would need to be approved by all five permanent members of the Security Council, which include China and Russia. Her comments come after a brief meeting with President Trump, where Japanese officials said they discussed efforts to reduce the two countries' reliance on Chinese supply chains ahead of Xi Jinping's visit to Washington.
Well, speaking of that meeting, the White House is getting ready to quite literally roll out the red carpet for the Chinese president, who's set to arrive in Washington later today for his first state visit to the U.S.
