Donald Trump is returning to the United Nations General Assembly as international attention focuses on the Iran war, alleged Israeli violations of a Gaza ceasefire and scrutiny of US aims.

Al Jazeera Global News reported on the issues expected to shape attention around Trump’s return, but the supplied report does not detail his planned remarks or set out the scope of the conflict.

The material also does not independently substantiate the characterisation of the Iran war or provide specific details of the alleged ceasefire violations.

A separate event expected on the sidelines of the General Assembly is the signing of an Arctic security agreement involving the United States, Denmark and Greenland in New York.
