The US president says Russia's Putin is "expecting a call" immediately after his talks with Zelensky and European leaders.

Ukrainian and European leaders are likely to push back hard on Russia’s demands, but risk casting themselves – in the eyes of the White House, at least – as obstacles to peace.

The White House has dispatched social media teams alongside FBI agents executing arrest warrants in the nation's capital to generate videos that promote U.S. President Donald Trump's crackdown on crime in the District of Columbia,

Nearly 70 arrests were made on Saturday night during Trump's ongoing cleanup operation in Washington D.C., with charges including assault and weapon possession.

The city’s Attorney General Brian Schwalb filed a lawsuit calling for an emergency restraining order to block the move, accusing the Trump Administration of implementing a “hostile takeover” of the Metropolitan Police Department (MPD) that would lead to “imminent, irreparable harm”.

The Trump administration is reportedly considering having the US government take a stake in Intel, a company that was once one of America’s most important tech giants but which has since fallen on hard times.

Donald Trump says negotiating a permanent peace agreement is the best way to end the war in Ukraine, rather than a temporary ceasefire that "often times do not hold up".

In addition to the core decision team of Trump, Vance, Rubio, and Wiles, Stephen Miller plays a key role on issues related to homeland security. On decisions involving Russia and Israel, envoy Steve Witkoff is included. And on military matters, the president pulls in Hegseth and General Dan Caine, the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff.
