Summary

President Donald Trump is set to address the United Nations General Assembly in New York today, and there’s no shortage of topics he could wade into. There’s Russia’s ongoing war in Ukraine, the humanitarian crisis in Gaza, a smattering of U.S.-brokered peace deals, the outlook for beleaguered international institutions and new attempts to reset and remake the global order. Playbook’s Jack Blanchard and POLITICO White House reporter Megan Messerly walk through what to expect. Plus, the far-reaching fallout from Trump’s autism announcement is only beginning to be understood.
