A memorial in Phoenix, a world gathering in New York

At a Charlie Kirk memorial in Arizona yesterday, President Donald Trump and Mr. Kirk鈥檚 widow offered starkly contrasting remarks, our Linda Feldmann notes today. Erika Kirk said she had forgiven the accused shooter, 鈥渂ecause it was what Christ did and is what Charlie would do.鈥� Mr. Trump, speaking directly after Ms. Kirk, said 鈥淚 hate my opponent and I don鈥檛 want the best for them,鈥� adding, 鈥淚 am sorry, Erika.鈥漈he focus now shifts to New York, where world leaders will gather starting on Tuesday at the UN General Assembly. The Trump administration, writes diplomatic correspondent Howard LaFranchi in his preview today, will showcase its vision for 鈥渁n emerging world order of America First foreign policy.鈥� Ahead of that gathering, Britain, Canada, Australia, and Portugal recognized the state of Palestine on Sunday, adding pressure on Israel to end its war in Gaza. France is set to follow. As the week unfolds, the agenda will include climate change, AI governance, and the elimination of nuclear weapons.
