Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian accused US President Donald Trump of a “bullying mentality” at the United Nations on Wednesday, saying Iran would not surrender in the war with the US but remained open to diplomacy to end the conflict. In a wartime address to the 193-member UN General Assembly, Pezeshkian said threats would only harden Iran’s resolve, rejecting Trump’s warning that he could annihilate Iran if no deal were reached. “The remarks made by the US president yesterday … are a sign...
Ukraine's Zelenskyy met Trump on Tuesday and discussed a potential bilateral ceasefire on energy-related targets.
On Tuesday, September 22, Donald Trump and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky met in New York to discuss the war in Ukraine. Ahead of Zelensky’s address to the UN General Assembly today, he said he wants the war to end before winter, stressing that people across Ukraine are living in increasingly difficult conditions and that the longer the conflict continues, the greater the risk of further deaths on the frontline. Trump has also said that Ukraine and Russia agreed not to target each other’s energy infrastructure, after previously criticising Kyiv for striking Russian oil refineries. According to France 24 correspondent from Ukraine, Gulliver Cragg, Another potential area for a temporary ceasefire could be the Black Sea, where attacks have disrupted Ukrainian and Russian grain shipments. Ukraine has indicated it is willing to cooperate, although Zelensky has questioned whether Russia would do the same. Analysts say the growing Ukrainian pressure on Russian oil infrastructure could create an opening for a limited ceasefire, although there is uncertainty over how strongly Trump is pushing for such an agreement and when he would want it to happen. France 24 International Affairs editor Philip Turle shares further details.
The day began with Donald Trump threatening to annihilate Iran but ended with a three-hour meeting between US and Iranian mediators, which Trump described as “very good.” Trump also held a high-level meeting with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, with both sides saying they wanted the war in Ukraine to end before winter. Today, as the UN General Assembly continues, Zelensky and Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian are among those expected to address the assembly, as world leaders seek ways to end the two conflicts dominating international politics.

Em discurso de quase 40 minutos na sede das Nações Unidas (ONU), o presidente dos Estados Unidos (EUA) Donald Trump voltou a fazer ameaças de uso da força militar em países da América Latina e Caribe para garantir os interesses da Casa Branca na região. “Nossas ações na Venezuela provam que os EUA não permitirão mais que ameaças à América [EUA] ganhem terreno em qualquer parte do Hemisfério Ocidental.

Ele discursou logo após o presidente brasileiro Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva, que ressaltou, entre outros temas, que o Brasil “não cabe no quintal de ninguém”. O presidente dos EUA Donald Trump destacou, em seu discurso na ONU, a invasão ilegal promovida contra a Venezuela, em janeiro deste ano. Ele comemorou o “acordo” petroleiro firmado com a presidente encarregada Delcy Rodríguez, que garante o controle de até 21% do petróleo da Venezuela a uma empresa ligada ao Pentágono. “Foi uma guerra, mas talvez seja o maior negócio já realizado. Ao vencedor pertencem os espólios; todos vocês já ouviram isso”, comentou Trump. Os EUA invadiram a Venezuela e sequestraram o presidente Nicolás Maduro alegando que Caracas seria um “narcoestado”, argumento rejeitado por especialistas. Após a prisão de Maduro, o Departamento de Justiça dos EUA retirou a acusação de que ele lideraria o suposto “Cartel de Los Soles”. A existência desse grupo não é consenso entre especialistas. Na semana passada, os EUA retiraram a Venezuela da lista de países que não combatem o narcotráfico, onde estava desde 2005. Trump ainda voltou a fazer ameaças a Cuba. A delegação da ilha caribenha se retirou do plenário da ONU durante a fala do presidente dos EUA em sinal de protesto. Trump compara cartéis ao ISIS Ainda durante o discurso na ONU, Trump voltou a comparar os cartéis de drogas da América Latina a organizações terroristas. Segundo ele, esses cartéis são semelhantes ao ISIS, grupo terrorista com origem no Iraque e na Síria. “Acionei as Forças Armadas dos Estados Unidos para eliminá-los. Os cartéis são o ISIS do Hemisfério Ocidental”, disse. Além do Trump, secretários de Estado dos EUA têm feito essa comparação para justificar possíveis ações militares em países da região. Analistas vem alertando que essa posição da Casa Branca pode ser usada como “pretexto” para interferir na política interna dos países latino-americanos. Trump fez menções diretas ao México. Disse que tem boas relações com o governo de Claudia Sheinbaum, mas que é inaceitável que os EUA façam fronteira com um país que é o “epicentro da violência dos cartéis”. “Portanto, o México deve retomar o controle de seu território das mãos dos inimigos da humanidade”, afirmou o presidente dos EUA. A presidenta mexicana vem elevando o tom contra medidas dos EUA que considera ingerência em assuntos internos. Claudia Sheinbaum têm defendido que a luta contra os cartéis não pode servir de “desculpa” para intervenções externas. Lula Antes da fala de Trump, o presidente Lula destacou que a América Latina e o Caribe vivem sob pressão por estarem próximas da maior potência militar do planeta. “Voltamos a presenciar a ingerência externa em processos eleitorais, a divisão do mundo em zonas de influência e investidas neocoloniais”, destacou, ao citar os casos recentes de interferências na Venezuela, Haiti e Cuba.
