POTUS will also make the case for American power in the world, a White House official said shortly before his remarks, scheduled for around 10 a.m. local time.
A day earlier, Trump took socialist NYC Mayor Zohran Mamdani up on his offer to sit down at Gracie Mansion — making the first presidential visit to Hizzoner’s official residence since Ronald Reagan met there with Ed Koch in 1981.
Also Monday, Mamdani renewed his call for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to be arrested for war crimes and accused him of visiting a “genocide” on Palestinians just days before Bibi is set to speak at UNGA on Thursday.

He’ll also have some tough words for the world body, pointing out his efforts to keep the UN from “infringing on American sovereignty or imposing a radical-left wing agenda on the American People,” the official said.
The topics in his speech will range from keeping Iran from having a nuclear weapon to his new deal with Denmark for American military bases in Greenland.
His focus will be on action. The president’s actions have resulted in “a much safer and more prosperous world for the American People — and a much more powerful America,” the official said.
Trump will also touch on matters close to home, highlighting how he ended instability in the Western hemisphere.
