The outlet also cited comments from US Permanent Representative to the UN Mike Waltz, who said Trump will arrive in New York on the afternoon of September 21 and will attend political events at Trump Tower that evening.
On September 22, Trump is scheduled to address the UN General Assembly and then hold a series of bilateral meetings, including with UK Prime Minister Andy Burnham and Japanese Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi. He is also expected to meet leaders of the Gulf Cooperation Council states and host a reception for leaders attending the Assembly, according to Suspilne.
