Trump suggests Ukraine deal could be close while meeting with Zelenskyy

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy met with his US counterpart Donald Trump and said he trusted that the White House can help end Russia's 4-year war on his country - even as attacks from both sides keep escalating. "I hope that we will end this war, and President Trump will help us help us end this war," Zelenskyy said on Tuesday, joining Trump at the UN General Assembly in New York, where the Ukrainian president was meeting with world leaders. That meeting occurred after Russian missiles and drones struck at least four Ukrainian regions overnight, strikes that officials said killed five people. Zelenskyy also said that his country's forces had damaged two more Russian oil refineries in their latest long-range strikes. The continuing exchange of aerial attacks, even as front-line positions remain largely unchanged. Trump previously had called on Zelenskyy to halt strikes on Russian oil refineries and other infrastructure used to produce and distribute diesel, saying the attac

US, Iran officials held 'very good' meeting on sidelines of UNGA: Trump

President Donald Trump said US and Iranian officials met Tuesday, an unexpected engagement that came even as he threatened in his address to the UN General Assembly that he may "annihilate" the Islamic Republic if a deal isn't reached soon to end the nearly seven-month war. Trump told reporters that his chief envoys, Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner, met with the Iranian officials on the sidelines of the annual gathering of world leaders but he offered few details about how the discussions transpired or the substance of the exchange. "It was a very good meeting," Trump said. The president later added that the Iranian officials were "not the highest level, but it's something." The engagement comes after months of US-Iran communications languishing following the collapse of a short-lived ceasefire that was brokered in June. US and Iranian negotiators met separately with Qatari and Pakistani mediators in Doha in early July for indirect talks. Earlier Tuesday, Secretary of State Marco

In UNGA, Trump repeats claim he settled war between India and Pakistan

US President Donald Trump on Tuesday repeated his claim that he settled the war between India and Pakistan last year, as he addressed world leaders at the UN General Assembly here. "Since I took office, it has been my great honour to settle eight wars, and in so doing, become friendly with the leaders of many of those countries. It was a great honour to do it. Numerous of these wars have gone on for many years and even decades," Trump said in his address to the General Debate of the 81st session of the UNGA. He said the reason he was able to "make these settlements" was the use of his "very special relationships", trade, use and threat of tariffs, and various other reasons depending on the country. "Among them, terms of settlement, Cambodia and Thailand, Kosovo and Serbia, the Democratic Republic of the Congo and Rwanda, Pakistan and India, Armenia and Azerbaijan, and of course the war in Gaza, which, as I stated previously, includes the return of all hostages, both living and dead,

UK test-fires US torpedo from undersea drone ahead of Burnham-Trump meet

The UK has test-fired a US torpedo from an undersea drone in a symbolic boost for maritime ties in time for Prime Minister Andy Burnham's first meeting with US President Donald Trump in New York on Tuesday. Downing Street said the Plymouth-made drone was used in the first such test firing of an anti-submarine weapon -- jointly developed by the US and Australia -- as part of the AUKUS programme. The heavyweight torpedo is designed to sink ships and deep-diving submarines launched from a 12-metre-long undersea UK-made drone named Excalibur. "The firing, which happened in UK waters last week, marks the first time either country had launched a torpedo from an undersea uncrewed vessel, rather than a crewed submarine. It marks a major advance in the future of submarine technology for the UK, US, and Australia, and delivers a significant breakthrough for Euro-Atlantic security and NATO's undersea advantage. "This will build on the next generation technology already being developed through

Trump set to address UN amid Iran conflict, global economic turmoil

President Donald Trump is set to address the U.N. General Assembly on Tuesday at a tumultuous moment for the world - and for his presidency. The global economy has been shaken by his decision to launch a war against Iran. Anxiety about the social impact being wrought by artificial intelligence is surging. And questions linger about the future of the United Nations itself with Trump's scaling back US financial support for the United Nations. After his speech to the annual gathering of world leaders, Trump is expected to hold talks with new British Prime Minister Andy Burnham, Japanese Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi and a more informal meeting with Venezuela's acting president Delcy Rodriguez, according to the White House. He's also set to meet with leaders and senior officials from Gulf Cooperation Council nations - Bahrain, Kuwait, Oman, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, and United Arab Emirates - to discuss the way ahead with the war in Iran and growing concern about recent Iran-backed rebels ..

Trump inaugurates new White House helipad, but networks skip coverage

President Donald Trump showed off his new White House helicopter landing pad on Monday, attempting to brush aside a First Amendment firestorm even as major television networks kept their cameras away because CNN wasn't allowed to cover the event. Trump used oversized gold scissors to cut a red, white and blue ribbon. He then exchanged handshakes with officials wearing green construction smocks and hardhats - seeking to portray business as usual. The noise of his waiting helicopter meant Trump didn't answer shouted questions before climbing aboard Marine One for a flight to New York. MS Now, Politico and CNN have sued after Trump announced Friday that he was banning them from covering the White House in a clear escalation of Trump's long-running efforts - in the courts and through administrative action - to restrict news coverage he finds objectionable. CNN normally participates in a five-network rotation that provides pooled coverage of daily events at the White House. When it was
