Trump touts 3-hour meeting on ending the war after threatening to 'annihilate' Iran
By Gram Slattery and Humeyra Pamuk UNITED NATIONS, Sept 22 (Reuters) - US President Donald Trump used his UN General Assembly speech on Tuesday to make the case for his war on Iran, arguing he has prevented Tehran from obtaining a nuclear weapon and warning that he could annihilate the Islamic Republic if no deal is reached to end the conflict. While predicting his administration would strike a peace deal with Iran following the November 3 US midterm elections, Trump called on other nations to join America in isolating Iran economically to force it to the negotiating table. I have a big decision to make. Will a deal be made with Iran that lets them rebuild and create a far greater country than it ever was before? Trump said. Or do I annihilate the Islamic Republic and do it quickly, never giving them a chance to kill and destroy people and countries again? He later told reporters at the United Nations that US officials had held a very good three-hour meeting with the Iranian delegation on Tuesday. He subsequently appeared to clarify that special envoys Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner had met with mediators rather than Iranian officials directly. Steve and Jared had a very productive meeting today with mediators of Iran, merely mediators, he told reporters at the start of a meeting with Gulf leaders at the UN. Let's see what happens with that. Since returning to office last year for a second term, Trump has sent waves through the global order, joining Israel to attack Iran, ordering a raid on Venezuela that captured the country's leader, and threatening to seize Greenland. In a 37-minute speech ahead of a whirlwind diplomatic schedule that included meetings with the leaders of Britain, Ukraine and Japan, Trump laid out his foreign policy vision, arguing that the Iran war had spared the world the threat of a nuclear-armed menace while asserting US dominance in the Western Hemisphere is essential to preventing crises from taking root. Our actions in Venezuela are proof that the United States will no longer permit threats to America to gain a foothold anywhere in the Western Hemisphere, Trump said. While others have spoken of peace, I have made peace. Outside the UN headquarters, dozens of anti-Iranian-government demonstrators gathered, a few of them holding up signs calling for democracy and decrying dictatorship. Trump brushed aside suggestions that the midterm elections, in which his Republican Party risks losing control of Congress, could constrain his handling of the war. Some analysts have argued that a Democratic takeover of the legislature would weaken his leverage in the conflict. What they don't realize is that I'm not running, Trump said, referring to the leadership in Tehran. I did that already, and won in a landslide. We won in a giant landslide, and I'll be here for 2-1/2 years. DIPLOMATIC WHIRLWIND Taking aim at US neighbors, Trump labeled Mexico the epicenter of cartel violence, urged its government to reclaim control of its soil, and said his administration was pursuing a fundamental change in the situation in Cuba. Members of the Cuban delegation walked out of the hall as Trump referenced his pressure campaign against the country. It's an absolutely failed state, it's failing like never before, and it will fall, said Trump. Yet Trump's appearance was less dramatic than in 2025, when he used a combative speech to chastise world leaders, warning that some countries were going to hell, and complained about UN facilities after being briefly stranded on a malfunctioning escalator and suffering an initial teleprompter failure. Trump renewed his criticism of the UN, highlighting his efforts to cut its bureaucracy, but offered no fresh attacks or indications that the US would leave any additional UN agencies. Trump spoke less than a week after a UN fact-finding mission said it had reasonable grounds to believe US forces committed war crimes in two strikes on Iran, including one that hit a primary school in the southern city of Minab. He renewed his criticism of international bodies that could serve as a check on US power, singling out the International Criminal Court and declaring that US military personnel would not be subject to its authority. We will never allow US service members or anyone else to be investigated or given show trials by an anti-American tribunal with no jurisdiction over us, he said. Ahead of a UN Security Council meeting on AI and international security on Wednesday, Trump acknowledged the challenges of the new technology but said, I'm not going to stifle growth of something that will be bigger than the Industrial Revolution. The speech kicked off a day of high-level diplomacy at the United Nations, where Trump was due to meet more than a dozen world leaders as wars in the Middle East and Ukraine continued to test his foreign policy agenda. British Prime Minister Andy Burnham said he had established a good connection with Trump in their first-ever meeting, where they discussed trade, Ukraine and the status of the Falkland Islands. Trump called Burnham a natural business person after the meeting. At the press-facing start of their talks, Japanese Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi said the meeting would demonstrate the strength of the US-Japan alliance amid a severe security environment, including in Asia, an apparent nod to China. Trump is due to meet Chinese President Xi Jinping in Washington later this week. Trump lavished praise on Takaichi, calling her a friend and predicting she would go down as one of the great prime ministers. On his meeting with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy, Trump told reporters that the two talked about finding a solution to end Russia's war in Ukraine.

Elias 2-24 b is young enough that astronomers are seeing it before its planetary neighborhood has finished taking shape. Yet the planet is already roughly Jupiter-sized. It orbits about 55 times the Earth-Sun distance, far out in a disk where assembling such a massive world should be difficult and slow. That mismatch is what makes the discovery so intriguing: astronomers are not looking at an old planet and guessing how it formed. They may be watching a giant world grow in real time.

Trump floats banning U.S. diesel exports as prices hit a record $6.52
President Trump said Tuesday that he would support banning exports of diesel fuel. I've said let's not send out the diesel, the president said on the sidelines of the UN General Assembly. We make a lot of diesel. It could have a little bit of an effect on regular automobile gasoline because when you do that, you know, it's a sort of a flow. It's a balance. Trump added, But no, I've called for it. I've called for it within my people. I've been talking about it. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said he's examining whether a diesel export ban is feasible, given overall refining capacity and whether a full or partial ban would work. The national average price of diesel fuel has surged to an all-time record of $6.52 per gallon, according to AAA , a staggering 77% increase compared to this time last year. Driven primarily by global supply crunches from the wars in Iran and Ukraine, the sudden spike is acting as a massive tax on the US supply chain, which is heavily reliant on diesel to move goods. Because diesel is the economy's primary industrial fuel, its high cost is spilling over into consumer prices nationwide. Patrick De Haan, head of petroleum analysis for GasBuddy, posted on X , this will backfire and is not good. U.S. diesel prices are determined not by a U.S. supply and demand balance, but a global one, De Haan said. Keeping distillates and diesel [at] home does not change the world price that reference our prices. You can't fence off a globally traded commodity by executive order and expect the global price to stop applying to it.

U.S., Greenland and Denmark sign deal in bid to end Arctic standoff
By Gram Slattery and Jacob Gronholt-Pedersen UNITED NATIONS, Sept 22 (Reuters) - US President Donald Trump and the leaders of Greenland and Denmark signed an agreement on Tuesday that permits a larger US military presence on Greenland and may resolve a standoff over the strategically located and mineral-rich island. The agreement, signed during Trump's visit to the UN General Assembly in New York, stops short of Trump's demand that the US annex Greenland as a US territory to head off the growing Arctic presence of Russia and China. But the deal does codify a greater US military presence on the icy territory, an option that emerged as Greenland leaders argued against a complete US takeover. A text of the deal released after the event said the US can establish a Golden Dome defense system in Greenland as a shield against ballistic missile threats. The shortest route from Europe to North America runs via the Arctic island, which is the location of the northernmost US military base. In his speech to the assembled world leaders at the UN before the signing ceremony, Trump said the agreement gives the US permanent control over security and all other needs on that territory. No US adversary will ever be permitted to establish a military presence in Greenland any more, or make sensitive investments there without our express written approval, Trump said. Trump signed the agreement along with Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen and Greenland Prime Minister Jens-Frederik Nielsen in a trilateral ceremony after Trump gave his UN speech. Frederiksen described the agreement as a deal that can last forever and said it underlines the importance of the NATO alliance and respects Greenland's right to self-determination. A STRONG NATO Nielsen emphasized the importance of NATO in the Arctic region. We believe that it is vital to keep NATO strong, also in the Arctic, where the alliance has a key role to play, he said. At a press conference after the signing, Nielsen said Greenlanders must now go through a process of restoring trust with the US. Trump's threats to take the island by force had strained relations with both Greenland and Denmark. I believe the crisis is over now, but I don't think the conflict is over in the sense that this agreement could very well be used - if the Americans wish - as a platform to force through further concessions, said Mikkel Vedby Rasmussen, a political science professor at the University of Copenhagen. Greenland, a former colony and now a semi-autonomous territory of the Kingdom of Denmark, sits between the Arctic and North America and holds vast energy resources. The US already operates Pituffik Space Base in remote northwestern Greenland. The deal opens two new military sites: Narsarsuaq, a former Cold War airbase whose population has dwindled to just a few dozen, and Mestersvig, currently used by the Sirius Dog Sled Patrol, a Danish special forces unit. We will immediately begin the process of developing a large military presence in the appropriate location. We will be building two very major military bases, Trump said in his UN speech. Trump's refusal to rule out military or economic force to acquire Greenland triggered a diplomatic crisis in January within NATO and forced Denmark and the island's government into months of intensive negotiations. The text of the agreement says it amends a 1951 defense treaty that had been the legal basis for the US presence. It adds that Washington may seek further bases in the future, with details decided by mutual agreement. The deal has no end date, grants US aircraft and vessels broad access across Greenland and its territorial waters, and bars non-NATO states from establishing military installations on the island. It also restricts foreign investment, effectively blocking states and investors from countries outside NATO, NATO partners and the European Union from holding control or significant influence in sectors deemed particularly sensitive, including critical infrastructure and resource extraction. The deal, which needs approval by the parliaments of Denmark and Greenland, marks a shift from Trump's earlier ambitions for an outright acquisition of Greenland, an island three times the size of Texas with a population of only 57,000 scattered along its rugged coastline. But it represents the first major increase in US military infrastructure in Greenland since the Cold War, when the US maintained 17 installations and more than 10,000 personnel there.

ICE officer who shot Venezuelan man wasn't wearing a body camera, sources say
The Immigration and Customs Enforcement officer who shot a Venezuelan delivery driver in Austin, Texas, on Sunday was not wearing a body camera at the time of the shooting, sources familiar with the investigation told CBS News. An ICE officer shot Wilber Rafael Garces Perez, a 28-year-old native of Venezuela who federal officials said has a deportation order, in the upper torso on Sunday afternoon while Garces Perez was working for DoorDash, according to local authorities and his attorney. The shooting was the latest involving federal agents enforcing President Trump's crackdown on illegal immigration and has sparked protests in Texas, as well as calls for accountability and a transparent, independent investigation. The lack of body camera footage from the ICE officer who shot Garces Perez a detail first reported by The Atlantic is likely to escalate concerns about the shooting. Homeland Security Secretary Markwayne Mullin had said earlier this month that all ICE officers would be equipped with body cams by the end of September. We're getting close, Mullin said at a press conference in New York. By the end of September, I'm pretty sure we will be there. Representatives for the Department of Homeland Security did not immediately respond to inquiries on the ICE officer not wearing a body camera. Garces Perez's medical condition has also been subject of controversy. Following his hospitalization on Sunday, the Venezuelan man was taken into ICE custody, with DHS alleging that he's in the U.S. illegally with a final deportation order. Democratic Rep. Joaquin Castro of Texas said Garces Perez was transferred back to a hospital on Monday after complaining about not having feeling on the left side of his body and believing that the bullet was still lodged in his back. On Tuesday, Castro said Garces Perez had been transferred back to ICE's South Texas Detention Complex in Pearsall, noting he's scheduled to visit the man Wednesday. Today, he tells me he is receiving only Tylenol and ibuprofen for pain, Garces Perez's attorney, Kate Lincoln-Goldfinch, wrote on X on Tuesday. He remains in isolation, on a flat bed, and without the tablet he previously used to communicate. Lincoln-Goldfinch filed a habeas petition seeking Garces Perez's release from ICE custody on constitutional grounds. On Monday, U.S. District Court Judge Orlando Garcia ordered Garces Perez to attend an in-person hearing on the habeas claim next Wednesday, Sept. 30, effectively blocking ICE from deporting him until then.
