Biden to deliver final speech to U.N. General Assembly as president

President Biden on Tuesday will deliver what will be his final speech to the United Nations General Assembly — and it's also likely to be one of his last speeches on the world stage as president, capping a decades-long political career that has focused heavily on foreign policy.

The 79th session of the United Nations General Assembly, colloquially known as UNGA, is bringing leaders from across the globe to New York. A senior administration official told reporters the themes of the president's speech will encompass many of his foreign policy themes throughout his administration — rallying the world around Ukraine, managing global competition and emphasizing the importance of sustaining the U.N. Charter. 

"He came into office four years ago with a vision of America returning to the world stage, having a new way of interacting with other countries bringing countries together to solve some of those big challenges," a senior administration official told reporters.
