‘No NATO or EU’ Trump Announces SHOCKING Trilateral Meet With Putin & Zelensky Without NATO and EU

In a stunning geopolitical twist, President Donald Trump has announced plans for a dramatic three-way summit with Russian President Vladimir Putin and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky — possibly within days. The meeting, which Trump disclosed during a private call with top European leaders, would mark the first in-person U.S.-Russia presidential summit in over four years. Sources reveal that the exclusive trio gathering would not involve NATO or European counterparts — sparking both shock and skepticism across allied capitals. Trump, who believes in his unmatched personal diplomacy, insists that face-to-face talks are the only route to peace. While Zelensky hinted at cautious optimism, European leaders voiced doubts about Putin’s sincerity. Trump’s team confirmed that Russia requested the meeting and that his envoy, Steve Witkoff, has already met with Putin. The bold move echoes Trump’s past direct diplomacy tactics, like with North Korea's Kim Jong-un.

‘Dangerous Consequences Ahead….’ North Korea’s WW3 Warning To U.S-South Korea Military Drills [Video]

‘Dangerous Consequences Ahead….’ North Korea’s WW3 Warning To U.S-South Korea Military Drills

North Korea has issued a stark warning to the United States and South Korea over their upcoming Ulchi Freedom Shield military drills, calling them a “direct provocation” and a serious threat to stability on the Korean Peninsula. Defense Minister No Kwang Choi, in a statement via state-run KCNA, condemned the large-scale exercise — set for August 18–28 — which will involve live field maneuvers, computer simulations, and civil defense training. He warned of “negative consequences” and vowed that Pyongyang would exercise its “sovereign right” to self-defense if provoked. While the Combined Forces Command insists the drills are defensive in nature, half of the planned field exercises have been postponed due to extreme weather and to avoid escalating tensions. This comes as both Koreas recently removed propaganda loudspeakers along the DMZ, hinting at fragile attempts to improve relations despite the looming military standoff. #NorthKorea #USSouthKoreaDrills #UlchiFreedomShield #PyongyangWarning #KoreanPeninsula #MilitaryTensions #KCNA #SouthKorea #USMilitary #Defense #WarGames #KoreanConflict #Geopolitics #DPRK #MilitaryExercise #USNews #SouthKoreaNews #WorldNews #PeaceTalks #MilitaryDrills ~HT.410~GR.124~

WW3 WARNING: Kim Warns U.S of 'Grave Consequences' If Pressured Over Nukes |Putin Backs North Korea

North Korea is openly warning the U.S. to recognize it as a nuclear power or abandon hopes of future diplomacy. Backed by Russia, Pyongyang says denuclearization is off the table and that Washington’s expectations are outdated. Kim Jong Un’s sister mocked U.S. efforts and insisted the “2025 reality” demands a new approach. Russia’s Foreign Minister Lavrov supported North Korea’s stance, citing self-defense. With alliances forming and rhetoric intensifying, the DPRK declares its nuclear status non-negotiable—placing future talks in deep uncertainty. #Russia #NorthKorea #Lavrov #NuclearWeapons #Geopolitics #USRussiaTensions #NorthKoreaNews #RussiaUkraineWar #KimJongUn #RussiaNorthKorea #MilitaryAlliance #NuclearThreat #EastAsiaCrisis #SecurityPact #USJapanSouthKorea #Pyongyang #ChoeSonHui #Wonsan #Putin #WorldNews #GlobalSecurity #StrategicAlliance #UkraineWar #NuclearTensions #DefenseNews #GeopoliticalRisk #InternationalRelations #BreakingNews #USAsiaPolicy #RussiaNuclearSupport #IndoPacific Also Read Hawaii Tsunami Warning: Next Waves Could Reach Up to 10 Feet, Say Officials :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/hawaii-tsunami-warning-next-waves-could-reach-up-to-10-feet-say-officials-011-7815551.html?ref=DMDesc India Tsunami Warning?
