Watch live: Biden addresses U.N. General Assembly in New York
CBSN
President Biden is addressing the United Nations General Assembly in New York on Tuesday, as he continues to call for global cooperation in support of Ukraine and as the Biden administration celebrates the return of five Americans who had been held in Iran.
Five U.S. citizens detained by Iran have touched down on U.S. soil after they were freed Monday in a complicated diplomatic deal that included the transfer of $6 billion in unfrozen Iranian oil assets and the release of five Iranians facing charges in the U.S.
Russia's war in Ukraine will be a key focus of Mr. Biden's remarks and of UNGA as a whole. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy will speak at UNGA Tuesday in his first address to the assembly since Russian President Vladimir Putin launched an unprovoked assault on his country. Zelenskyy and Mr. Biden are also scheduled to meet at the White House on Thursday.
