Watch Live: Biden addresses U.N. General Assembly

Washington — President Biden will address the United Nations General Assembly for the first time of his presidency Tuesday as he seeks to put the United States on firmer footing with allies and reassure world leaders his administration will not be an extension of the chaotic four years under former President Donald Trump.

The president arrived in New York on Monday, meeting with United Nations Secretary-General António Guterres. After delivering his remarks Tuesday morning, Mr. Biden will gather with Australian Prime Minister Scott Morrison in New York and then return to the White House for a bilateral meeting with British Prime Minister Boris Johnson.

The president's appearance at the U.N. General Assembly comes as his administration is facing heightened tensions with U.S. allies due to the chaotic exit from Afghanistan, which was completed last month. The Biden administration is also grappling with the fallout from a submarine deal the U.S. brokered with Australia and the United Kingdom, which has caused a rift with France, the nation's oldest ally.
