The most anticipated meeting on Pres. Trump's schedule this week is a planned bilateral meeting with the president of Ukraine.
President Donald Trump will join leaders from around the world as they converge in New York City this week for the United Nations General Assembly, an annual high-profile diplomatic gathering.
But with his third visit to the gathering, the president's unconventional style and norm-defying approach to U.S. foreign policy -- prioritizing an"America First" vision over multilateral cooperation -- is now well established on the global stage. The president is also slated to meet one-on-one with the leaders of Pakistan, Poland, New Zealand, Singapore, Egypt, South Korea, UK, India, Iraq, Japan and El Salvador.While the possibility of such a meeting has been floated in recent weeks -- and Trump has expressed openness to the possibility -- Iran has rejected the idea.
But even without direct engagement with Iran, Alterman says this week's gathering provides an opening -- and a test -- for Trump to organize a united front in the wake of an attack on a Saudi oil facility that the U.S. has blamed on Iran. That evening, the president and first lady will host a diplomatic reception for visiting world leaders.
