In his big UN address earlier in the morning, Trump warned that he could "annihilate" Iran and "send them to hell" - but also held out hope that Tehran would be willing to make a deal, which would likely come after the US midterm elections.

The same afternoon Trump spoke in a meeting with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, saying that he has called for a ban on diesel exports. Oil prices pressed lower immediately on the headlines, but soon after began rising again. However, some sources have warned that the controversial proposal could backfire.

Trump said he has discussed a potential diesel export ban with his team, while Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent confirmed that the administration is examining the possibility of such a ban.
