United States President Donald Trump defended the war with Iran and touted economic strength during his UN General Assembly address on Tuesday. The address arrived as global fuel prices climb and domestic approval ratings slide. The high-stakes speech precedes a heavy slate of bilateral meetings with global counterparts in New York.
