President Donald Trump will defend his decision to start the war in Iran and step up military actions in the Western Hemisphere.
Following his speech, Trump is scheduled to meet with Gulf leaders, UK Prime Minister Andy Burnham, Japanese Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi, and host a reception for other leaders including Venezuela's Delcy Rodriguez.
