Trump is welcomed to the podium with applause.
He said six years have passed since his last address at the UN.
“Since that day, the guns of war have shattered the peace I forged on two continents, an era of calm and stability gave way to one of the greatest crises of our time,” he says.
Trump goes on to hail progress since his return to the White House, saying the US is the “hottest country anywhere in the world”.
Trump is expected to praise the renewal of American strength around the world and speak about how globalist institutions have “significantly decayed the world order”.
The president, who is said to be in a “campaign mode” to win the Nobel Prize for Peace, will outline how his role as the 47th president of the US has helped to bring an end to seven international conflicts.
Several world leaders, including Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, have backed nominating Trump for the peace prize.
Hun Manet, the prime minister of Cambodia, nominated Trump after a deal was struck for a ceasefire following the clashes at the Cambodia-Thailand border.
Netanyahu handed over a letter to Trump – a moment that the president described as very meaningful.
Pakistan’s government also championed a move to nominate Trump, praising the leadership he showed in striking a ceasefire between India and Pakistan.
Leaders in Rwanda and Gabon have also endorsed Trump.
Olivier Nduhungirehe, the Rwandan foreign minister, credited Trump for how he helped end the 30-year conflict between Rwanda and the Democratic Republic of Congo.
Reports in the Norwegian press have claimed Trump cold-called the country’s finance minister to discuss the peace prize.
“Out of the blue, while the finance minister was walking down the street in Oslo, Donald Trump called, he wanted the Nobel prize – and to discuss tariffs,” an excerpt in Dagens Næringsliv said.
If Trump wins the Nobel Peace Prize, he would join a small club of ex-presidents who have achieved the feat.
Don is also expected to meet several world leaders on the sidelines of the UN summit.
He will also meet Ukrainian leader President Zelensky, who is expected to call for the US president to impose blistering sanctions on Russia.
