United Nations General Assembly Gathers to Address Climate Change
World leaders at the United Nations General Assembly are gathering to address climate change and hold a Climate Action Summit. The summit will focus on addressing the challenges that most affect people's lives, from conflicts to climate change and corruption. The summit comes after major speeches from President Joe Biden and the President of Ukraine, who both called for continued unity against Russia.
Biden Stands Up to Russian Aggression
President Joe Biden spoke at a leaders gathering at the Metropolitan Museum of Art last night, hours after taking center stage at the UN to push for continued support of Ukraine against Russia's invasion. He emphasized the need to stand up to negative aggression and deter would-be aggressors in the future. Meanwhile, Ukraine's president doubled down on that message, saying that the last unit decides everything openly. This comes after Ukraine has already received hundreds of billions of dollars in international aid, and House Republican leaders are questioning President Biden's request for another $24 billion package, asking about the accountability for the money already spent and the plan for victory.
Biden's Commitment to Preventing Iran from Obtaining Nuclear Weapons
Yesterday, President Biden stated that he is committed to preventing Iran from obtaining a nuclear weapon, as five Americans who spent years wrongfully detained by Tehran finally arrived home on U.S. soil. Biden's statement emphasizes his administration's focus on diplomacy over military confrontation and the need to work with allies to address international challenges.
