At UN, Trump facing questions about Ukraine, Iran, allies
UNITED NATIONS (AP) — Faced with growing tumult at home and abroad, President Donald Trump began his three-day visit to the United Nations on Monday hoping to lean on strained alliances while fending off questions about whether he sought foreign help to damage a political rival.
Trump's latest U.N. trip comes after nearly three years of an "America First" foreign policy that has unsettled allies and shredded multinational pacts.
A centerpiece of this year's U.N. schedule was Monday's session on climate change. That was not on Trump's schedule — although he did briefly stop by to observe for about 15 minutes. His main event will be addressing a meeting about the persecution of religious minorities, particularly Christians, an issue that resonates with Trump's evangelical supporters.
The Republican president arrived in New York on Sunday against a backdrop of swirling international tensions, including questions about his relationship with Ukraine, the uncertain future of Brexit, the U.S. trade war with China, stalled nuclear negotiations with North Korea and a weakening global economy.

In other words he's going to bloviate and talk through his ass.
