Morning coverage previewed Trump's address to the U.N. General Assembly amid the Iran war, Gaza and Ukraine, with a planned Greenland signing and the White House press ban lingering through the launch of Trump TV and CNN's exclusion from the pool.
At the podium Trump defended starting the war and gave Iran a choice between a deal to rebuild and annihilation, saying he would drive Tehran into hell and predicting a deal after the midterms. He announced two new bases under a trilateral pact with Denmark and Greenland, rejected globalist control of AI, denied illegal immigration as a human right, attacked the ICC and drug cartels, prompting walkouts by Iranian and Cuban delegates.
Attention then turned to his disclosure of three hours of sideline talks with Iran and openness to meeting its president, as Gulf leaders urged restraint and other leaders warned of divisions.
