The U.S. president has warned about the possibility of sanctions on Russia several times but has yet to follow through. Dozens of world leaders gathered at the United Nations on Monday to embrace a Palestinian state, a landmark diplomatic shift that faces fierce resistance from Israel and its close ally the United States. Trump said the United States wants a ceasefire-for-hostages deal that would see the return all remaining hostages, alive and dead. “These are the two things I got from the United Nations – a bad escalator and a bad teleprompter,” Trump said, noting that Melania Trump nearly fell when the escalator stopped abruptly. Guterres and Trump are expected to meet formally for the first time since Trump returned to office in January.
