President Trump is meeting with other world leaders on the sidelines of the United Nations General Assembly meeting in New York beginning Monday. 

On Monday afternoon, the president first met with the leader of Pakistan, telling reporters he thinks he should receive the Nobel Peace Prize for a number of things but won’t because the system isn’t fair. The president told Pakistani Prime Minister Imran Khan that if he and India’s Prime Minister Narendra Modi want him to mediate an agreement over Kashmir, he’s willing to do so. 

“I think I’d be an extremely good arbitrator,” he said. 

Khan said Pakistan looks to the U.S. “to put out flames in the world.” When members of the Pakistani press corps offered glowing words for Mr. Trump, the president lamented that the U.S. doesn’t have reporters like that.

“There’s a tremendous spirit from your press. I don’t see that. With us, they want to always tear our country down. And with your press, they would like to see something positive for your country,” Mr. Trump said. 

As the afternoon continued, the president met with Polish President Andrzej Duda, announcing the U.S. would be increasing its military presence in Poland. But he also tore into former Vice President Joe Biden and the U.S. media over a call he had with Ukraine’s president. Mr. Trump has admitted he brought up Biden and corruption during that call. 

However, he denied that he had threatened to withhold aid from Ukraine if it did not carry out his wishes. 

Mr. Trump also said he hoped the transcript of his call would be released — but then said he doesn’t think it should be released because it would set a bad precedent. He then blasted the American media for how it’s covered the topic. 

“You’re crooked as hell,” he said. 

In yet another bilateral meeting with Singapore’s prime minister, the president mocked CNN anchor Chris Cuomo, calling him “Fredo” after an exchange Cuomo had with the president’s personal attorney, Rudy Giuliani. 

“Rudy Giuliani took Fredo to the cleaners,” Mr. Trump said. 

On Friday, the Pentagon announced the impending deployment of troops to Saudi Arabia as a defensive posture against Iran. The U.S. blames Iran for recent strikes on a Saudi oil facility.
