US Ambassador to the UN Mike Waltz revealed in an exclusive interview with the Post that President Donald Trump is expected to shake the UN General Assembly with a sharp speech. Trump will attack the organization over false accusations against the US for war crimes in Tehran, while ignoring the actions of the Iranian regime. Waltz referred to the Human Rights Council report that accused US forces of alleged war crimes in Iran, emphasizing that any civilian casualties, if they exist, are unintentional, unlike Tehran which fires machine guns at 40,000 of its own citizens. Trump will emphasize the importance of national sovereignty, criticize courts that have "gotten out of control" like the International Criminal Court, and present the "America First" policy that led to a cut in the UN budget by more than a billion dollars. The president is expected to meet with Ukrainian President Zelenskyy in hopes of ending the war, which he called "ridiculous and endless." Waltz noted successes such as the "Peace Council" in Gaza and an international stabilization force.
