General Assembly. A spokesperson for Guterres, St\u00e9phane Dujarric, minimized concerns about Trump&#8217;s impact on the U.N., stating that the Secretary-General would be more worried if Trump did not address the assembly.Despite Trump&#8217;s previous criticisms of the U.N. and preference for bilateral relations over multilateralism, Guterres looks forward to meeting him and hosting him at the U.N.<\/p>\n<p>The article also highlights recent tensions, including the U.S. State Department&#8217;s denial of visas to Palestinian officials attending the U.N.General Assembly, a decision that Guterres publicly regretted and addressed directly with U.S. officials. In response to the visa denial, the U.N. General Assembly allowed Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas to speak via video.<\/p>\n<p>Trump is scheduled to arrive in New York and deliver a major speech emphasizing American strength, his achievements in ending global conflicts, and his critical view of globalist institutions. He will also hold bilateral and multilateral meetings with key countries before attending a reception with over 100 world leaders. <br \/> <!DOCTYPE html><br \/>\n<?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><html><body><\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<p><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><\/p>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-button\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-icon td-icon-mobile\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-header-search-button-mob dropdown-toggle\" data-toggle=\"dropdown\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-search-icon td-icon-search\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-button\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-icon td-icon-mobile\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<div class=\"tdb-drop-down-search\" aria-labelledby=\"td-header-search-button\">\n<div class=\"tdb-drop-down-search-inner\">\n<form method=\"get\" class=\"tdb-search-form\" action=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/\"><\/form>\n<div class=\"tdb-aj-search\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/#\" role=\"button\" aria-label=\"Search\" class=\"tdb-head-search-btn dropdown-toggle\" data-toggle=\"dropdown\"><i class=\"tdb-search-icon td-icon-search\"><\/i><\/a><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<h1 class=\"tdb-title-text\">&lsquo;There would be more concern if he wasn&rsquo;t here&rsquo;: UN <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/off-to-a-bad-start-putin-schools-biden-with-one-phone-call\/\" title=\"Off to a Bad START: Putin Schools Biden with One Phone Call\">secretary-general<\/a> prepares for Trump&rsquo;s return<\/h1>\n<div><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-title-line\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<div id=\"Brid_2237136\" class=\"tpd-featured-video bridtv\"><\/div>\n<p><strong>NEW YORK CITY &mdash;<\/strong> A spokesman for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/united-nations\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">United Nations<\/a> Secretary-General Ant&oacute;nio Guterres downplayed concerns regarding what President <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/donald-trump\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Donald Trump<\/a>&lsquo;s return to power means for the multilateral organization.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;\">When asked by the&nbsp;<em>Washington Examiner<\/em>&nbsp;whether Trump&rsquo;s actions and threats related to the withdrawal of poli<\/span>tical and financial support from the U.N. have undermined the organization&rsquo;s future, Guterres&rsquo;s spokesman St&eacute;phane Dujarric quipped that the secretary-general would be more concerned if Trump did not address the body&rsquo;s 80th <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/its-happening-pennsylvania-state-legislature-files-resolution-disputes-statewide-2020-election-results\/\" title=\"It&#039;s Happening: Pennsylvania State Legislature Files Resolution ......
