Today, Jess, John, Les, and Algene break down a packed week at the UN General Assembly in New York, where world leaders delivered speeches ranging from Trump's stark warnings toward Iran to Zelenskyy's push for a settlement framework and ongoing maneuvering over Ukraine. However, Xi Jinping’s to skip New York for a White House meeting also puts the UN’s role in global diplomacy under scrutiny.
Is the UN still a consequential venue, or has it become a backdrop while the real deals get cut bilaterally? Should the United States lean into the UN as a sharper foreign policy tool rather than ceding that ground? What would meaningful Security Council reform actually look like, and is there any realistic path to it?
Check out the answers to these questions and more in this episode of Fault Lines.
