At U.N., Trump Accuses China of Election Meddling & Attacks Iran

HeadlineSep 27, 2018

At the United Nations, President Trump gaveled in a meeting of the Security Council Wednesday, as the U.S. took over the rotating position of council president. In prepared remarks, Trump once again attacked Iran over its alleged nuclear ambitions. He also singled out China for allegedly meddling in the upcoming U.S. midterm elections. Later, Trump held an 81-minute solo news conference—just the second of his presidency—in which he railed against Kavanaugh’s accusers and dismissed reports he was being laughed at when he addressed the General Assembly Tuesday as “fake news.” We’ll have more on Trump at the United Nations later in the broadcast.
