Trump Heads to UN With Long List of Deals Yet to Close

Associated Press

   WASHINGTON - President Donald Trump, a self-described deal-maker, is
   saddled with a long list of unresolved foreign policy deals he has yet
   to close heading into his U.N. visit this coming week.

   There are challenges with Iran, North Korea, the Afghan Taliban, Israel
   and the Palestinians -- not to mention a number of trade pacts. Some
   are inching forward. Some have stalled.

   Trump has said repeatedly that he is in "no rush" to wrap up the deals.
   But negotiations take time. He is nearly three years into his
   presidency and the 2020 election looms, which will crimp his ability to
   tend to unfinished foreign business.
