Just got off the phone with President Donald Trump after he wrapped his UN trip. His address to the 81st General Assembly was one of his strongest—America is back and stronger than ever, “while others have talked, I have acted.” He laid out the wars he’s closed, the UN budget cuts and reforms, U.S. leadership on AI, and a clear choice for Iran: a deal or far tougher action. Another major day starts now as he hosts President Xi at the White House 🇺🇸
