For the first time in its 75-year history, leaders of the United Nations' 193 member states will deliver their annual speeches on the opening day of the world body's General Assembly on videotape instead of in person due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
Tuesday's session will commence with a pre-taped message from Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro, in keeping with a decades-long tradition first established in the 1940s, followed by U.S. President Donald Trump, as leader of the U.N. host country. Other prominent world leaders whose pre-recorded messages will be shown Tuesday will be Recep Tayyip Erdogan of Turkey, China's Xi Jinping, Vladimir Putin of Russia and France's Emmanuel Macron.
