Artificial intelligence, climate change, and the Iran conflict take center stage this week at the UN General Assembly, as President Trump is set to address world leaders tomorrow morning.

Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent already here in New York meeting with Chinese officials ahead of the state visit with Chinese leader Xi Jinping later this week.

Says the pressure on Iran will increase even more in the coming days.

On September 23rd, all the Iranian airlines, all the Iranian airlines will be shut down around the world.

They appeared to clear the 5% threshold to enter a regional parliament in Novgorod, north of Moscow.

Scott Bessent says America and China have discussed creating a new notification mechanism for AI incidents, especially those affecting national security.

America's Treasury Secretary had just concluded, quote, "very successful talks" with He Lifeng, a Chinese vice premier, in New York.

Their meeting came ahead of a summit between Donald Trump and his Chinese counterpart, Xi Jinping, later this week in Washington.

I don't, I don't understand it.

Bessent and Greer say the US-China Board of Trade and AI dialogue is now operational ahead of the Trump-Xi summit.

That was a long headline for me to say this.

Trump and Xi are about to meet.

Eso marca una ruptura profunda entre los laboratorios y la administración sobre quién fija el ritmo.

[carraspea] Por separado, el secretario del Tesoro Bessent confirmó el lunes que el diálogo sobre IA entre Estados Unidos y China, que estableció con el viceprimer ministro He Lifeng, es ahora un canal bilateral permanente, con ambas partes comprometiéndose a alertarse mutuamente sobre incidentes preocupantes de inteligencia artificial.

Xi Jinping está en la Casa Blanca esta semana.

De vuelta contigo, Edo.

Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent already here in New York meeting with Chinese officials ahead of the state visit with Chinese leader Xi Jinping later this week, says the pressure on Iran will increase even more in the coming days.

Fox's Lucas Tomlinson in New York City.

The president already in the city as he sat down with Mayor Zohran Mamdani.

And I know-

That'll forever be the clip where Joe Kernen tries to explain what democracy means to Scott Bessent, and Scott Bessent's mask slips and he explains that it was always a mob move.

Quote, "Maybe there'll be a change in the coverage." Jim Acosta, these people aren't good at being autocrats, and Scott Bessent-

Yeah

... is the person most responsible for Donald Trump having about a two percent approval rating on inflation.

Yeah

... you talk about people excusing autocracy, that guy gets, uh, you know, he's in the running for first place for enablers.

[laughs] Yeah, I, you know, uh, Scott Bessent, maybe he'll be impeached third of, of the cabinet secretaries, I don't know.

Uh, John Solomon, before he entered the government to find the election fraud claims, that's also the station that he was on.

And I'll just... with one other thing, Nicole, real fast, is Scott Bessent, he's an interesting voice in all of this because the Treasury secretary, right, if we wanna play in a ballgame of facts, the president xi of China is coming here on Thursday.

It's questionable what press coverage there is going allowed to be.

But this is the man who touted that China was going to buy a record amount of soybeans.

And so, so much of not just what Donald Trump says should be called into question, but also the other cabinet officials.

And because we have lost our access, we have lost the opportunities to engage with people like him as well.

And that is why there is irreparable harm from us being kept out, and the opportunity to ask people like Scott Bessent those very direct questions.

Monday, 21 September, year of our Lord, 2026.

Okay.

So Dr. Peter Navarro, you had Scott Bessent there.

He's a former contributor, your former co-host, the fi- and you're on Morning- they're on, uh, Squawk Box.

Uh, j- just tell me, the, the, the Trump Derangement Syndrome, even though you got a guy like Joe Kernen who's, who's obviously doesn't have Trump Derangement Syndrome, but the problem is Bloomberg, The Wall Street Journal, uh, the Financial Times of London, The New York Times, you just get an onslaught every day of just negativity.

I think that's on the Fox overall network, not even on Fox News.

Then she has, I think, a Wall Street show on Friday afternoons.

They have unceremoniously dismissed her and essentially perp-walked her out without saying goodbye to her vast audience, and she was the one place that consistently, I don't mean every now and again, consistently gave a platform, not just for yourself, but for Scott Bessent and other people in the administration, to put forward the president's economic program.

And I think you're correct.
