will address the United Nations General Assembly in New York next week and discuss international security “threats” with other world leaders, the White House said Tuesday.
Biden would address the General Assembly on September 19, the first day of a two-day stay at the UN meeting, Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre said in a statement. Last year Biden lashed out at Russian President Vladimir Putin at the UN General Assembly, accusing him of “shamelessly” violating the UN Charter with a war aimed at “extinguishing Ukraine’s right to exist as a state.”Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu will also be at the UNGA next week as part of a trip to the United States, although Israeli officials said there were no plans to meet Biden.
