WASHINGTON, SEP 22 /DNA/ – President Donald Trump told the United Nations on Tuesday that he believes the United States will strike a deal with Iran soon after the upcoming mid-term elections in November. Speaking before world leaders, Trump suggested that political timing plays a role in negotiations, adding that “right after the elections, I think we’ll have a deal with Iran.”

The president also touched on a wide range of global issues during his address. He declared that “no enemy will be allowed to have an army in Greenland,” a remark that drew attention for its unusual reference to the Arctic territory. Trump further emphasized his desire to see an end to the ongoing Russia-Ukraine war, stating that Washington is committed to pursuing peace in the region.

Turning to Latin America, Trump mentioned ongoing Cuba talks, saying, “Let us see what comes out of Cuba talks.” His comments suggested cautious optimism but stopped short of announcing any concrete policy changes. On South Asia, Trump claimed that his administration had prevented multiple conflicts, saying he “stopped eight wars, including Pakistan and India.” He added that Pakistani Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif had personally thanked him, reportedly saying that Trump’s intervention “saved thousands of lives.”

The president’s sweeping remarks highlighted his administration’s focus on diplomacy and conflict prevention, though many of his claims could not be independently verified. Analysts noted that Trump’s statement about Iran reflects his long-standing belief that Tehran is waiting for the outcome of U.S. domestic politics before making concessions. His comments on Greenland and Cuba, meanwhile, underscored his tendency to link disparate global issues in a single speech.

Trump’s assertion that he prevented wars in South Asia is likely to spark debate, particularly given the complex and ongoing tensions between Pakistan and India. While leaders in both countries have occasionally credited international pressure with easing hostilities, independent observers caution that the risk of escalation remains.

As the mid-term elections approach, Trump’s remarks suggest he views foreign policy achievements as closely tied to domestic political outcomes. Whether his prediction of a post-election deal with Iran materializes remains uncertain, but his speech at the UN reinforced his message that the United States under his leadership is actively engaged in shaping global peace and security.
