• As world leaders converged in New York for their annual gathering at the U.N., President Trump said the international body had grown too bureaucratic and ineffective, but gave no clue as to whether he would cut U.S. funding.

Mr. Trump also made a veiled threat to pull out of the Iran nuclear agreement and said that his Bastille Day visit to Paris inspired him to consider staging a Fourth of July military parade back at home.

He is expected to stress “sovereignty and accountability” rather than joint action on global crises in his address to the U.N. General Assembly today. President Emmanuel Macron of France and Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu of Israel are also giving speeches.
