With Crisis looming at large all over the world, U.S. President Donald Trump prepares to address 193 World leaders for the first time in New York

Many will be eagerly awaiting President Trump's speech as he was very critical of the U.N. during his Presidential Campaign in March 2016. 

"The United Nations is not a friend of democracy … it's not a friend to freedom … it's not a friend even to the United States of America," the US president said in March last year.

Donald Trump has however been watchful of his tone towards the U.N. since he assumed office.

North Korean diplomats will have a front-row seat in the U.N. General Assembly for Trump's speech on Tuesday morning, which will touch on the escalating crisis that has seen Trump and Pyongyang trade threats of military action.

Another point of concern durring this meeting will be U.S. President Donald Trump's views on Iran and the Nuclear deal that was entered into by his predecessor Barack Obama.

During the Presidential campaign and since he became President, Donal Trump has been very critical of the nuclear deal and blaming former President Obama for agreeing to such terms.

When asked on Friday what Moscow's message would be for Washington, Russia's U.N. ambassador, Vassily Nebenzia, said: "Stay in the JCPOA (the nuclear deal)."

A senior U.N. Security Council diplomat, speaking on condition of anonymity, said: "We are faced with real uncertainties with respect to North Korea and it's a bit dangerous ... to add another source of uncertainty with respect to Iran."
