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.

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.
