US President Donald Trump returned to the stage at the United Nations on Tuesday, where he touted his administration's policies in front of world leaders and issued pointed threats to some of those gathered in the room. The lengthy speech was wide-ranging, covering the war in Iran, AI, Cuba and the role of America's military.
