Waltz Warns Countries on Iran Sanctions as Trump Heads to UN

U.S. Ambassador to the U.N. Mike Waltz said Washington expects countries to fully enforce sanctions on Iran and warned there could be consequences for governments that do not comply. His remarks came as President Donald Trump prepared to attend the United Nations General Assembly in New York and meet with Gulf leaders about the conflict and regional security. The administration is using the UNGA week to press allies on Iran while also pushing its broader campaign to reshape and reduce the size of the United Nations. Waltz said the U.S. wants the U.N. to stay a place where countries can talk and coordinate, but not at the expense of American influence or security goals. The article also said Trump announced a new security agreement with Denmark and Greenland aimed at expanding the U.S. military presence in the Arctic and limiting rival access to the region. Waltz called the deal strategically important as melting ice opens new shipping routes and creates interest in energy and mineral resources.
