Former U.S. President Donald Trump has announced plans to speak with Russian President Vladimir Putin on Tuesday regarding a possible resolution to the Ukraine conflict. Speaking aboard Air Force One while traveling from Florida to Washington, Trump stated, “We want to see if we can bring an end to this war. Maybe we can, maybe we can’t, but I think we have a very good chance.” He added that discussions were already underway, and last week, he had attempted to secure Putin’s backing for Ukraine’s proposed 30-day ceasefire.

At least 26 tornadoes struck the US on Friday night and early Saturday, causing massive destruction in Arkansas, Illinois, Mississippi, and Missouri.

Meanwhile, Texas and Oklahoma are battling over 100 wildfires.

Former US President Donald Trump repeatedly claimed during his election campaign that he could end the Russia-Ukraine war within 24 hours. However, even nearly two months after taking office, the conflict continues. In a recent interview on the television program Full Measure, Trump clarified his remarks, saying, “When I said that, I was joking a little bit.” However, he maintained that he genuinely intended to resolve the conflict and believes he could achieve success in doing so.

Thai authorities had previously detained over 300 Uyghurs who fled China in 2014.

The U.S. has faced another obstacle in its plan to detain migrants at Guantanamo Bay. Forty migrants previously held at the naval base have been transferred back to the U.S., with no future deportation flights currently scheduled. This move effectively leaves the detention center empty. Among those relocated were 23 high-risk individuals and 17 others from the immigration processing center. On Tuesday, they were transferred to Louisiana detention facilities via a U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) aircraft. Previously, on February 20, the U.S. had deported 177 Venezuelan migrants from Guantanamo back to their home country.

He emphasized the need to strengthen America's presence in the Arctic. Trump stated, "We have many key players roaming the coastlines, and we must remain vigilant." Greenland’s outgoing Prime Minister Múte Egede has repeatedly rejected such proposals, but Trump remains firm in his stance that acquiring Greenland is essential.

After a meeting with NATO Secretary-General Mark Rutte at the Oval Office, former U.S. President Donald Trump stated, "I have a great relationship with Kim Jong Un. Let's see what happens, but he is a nuclear power." Discussing nuclear disarmament, Trump emphasized the need to reduce global nuclear stockpiles, particularly in Russia and China. A White House official mentioned that Trump remains committed to North Korea’s complete denuclearization, a goal he pursued during his first term.

In New York, activists from the group “Jewish Voice for Peace” staged a sit-in at Trump Tower, demanding the release of Palestinian worker Mahmoud Khalil. Protesters chanted slogans like “Free Mahmoud, Free Everyone!” and “Fight Nazis, Not Students!” They wore red shirts bearing the messages “Not in Our Name” and “Stop Arming Israel.” Khalil was arrested on March 8 from his university residence, a move activists claim was politically motivated.

U.S. President Donald Trump has denied that Palestinians are being forcibly displaced from Gaza, contradicting his previous proposal to turn the region into a luxury destination. Earlier, Trump had suggested that the U.S. should seize control of Gaza and relocate its population, envisioning it as the “Riviera of the Middle East.” In his initial proposal last month, he advocated for the permanent removal of Gaza’s nearly two million residents. However, his latest statement on Wednesday insists that no displacement is occurring.

Following recent trade tensions, former U.S. President Donald Trump revealed that India has agreed to reduce tariffs on American products, although the Modi government has stated that discussions are still ongoing.

White House Press Secretary Carolyn Levitt highlighted that India imposes a 150% tariff on American liquor, calling it unfair. She also pointed out India’s additional 100% tariff on agricultural products. Levitt emphasized that Trump believes in mutual cooperation and aims for a fair and balanced trade relationship between the two nations.

Former U.S. President Donald Trump revealed on Monday that four American companies are in discussions to acquire TikTok amid ongoing uncertainty over its future. The Chinese-owned social media platform faces a potential ban in the U.S. unless it separates from its parent company, ByteDance, as per new U.S. regulations. While Trump did not disclose the names of the interested buyers, speculation points to Microsoft, Oracle, The People’s Bid for TikTok, and internet star MrBeast as potential contenders. Trump emphasized that the final decision rests with him.

The Trump administration has slashed 83% of the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) programs following a six-week review aimed at reducing the agency’s activities. U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio announced that 5,200 contracts, worth billions of dollars, have been canceled, citing concerns that some programs were against U.S. national interests. The remaining 1,000 projects will now be managed more efficiently under the State Department’s oversight, with congressional involvement. Rubio also praised the Department of Government Efficiency, led by billionaire Elon Musk, for its role in the review. The workforce at USAID, which once exceeded 10,000 employees, is now at risk of shrinking to fewer than 300.

A significant cyber attack has targeted X, the platform owned by Elon Musk, according to reports from AFP. Users from Asia, Europe, and North America faced issues accessing the platform starting Monday morning. Many were unable to log into their accounts. Musk later confirmed the attack, calling it a major cyber assault. Despite the disruptions, some users could still access the platform intermittently. Although Musk attributed the issue to a cyber attack, he did not provide any evidence to support his claim. This is not the first cyber attack on X, as similar incidents occurred during Trump’s interview sessions during the election period.
