We have very serious people around this table, Tom Vilsack, Agriculture Secretary, via NPR.

The report also recommends supporting congressional legislation, conducting research on distribution within programs and increasing language access.

‘Biden Enabled North Korea’s…’ South Korean President Makes SHOCKING Claim About North Korea’s Rise

In a fiery White House exchange, South Korean President Lee Jae Myung sided with U.S. President Donald Trump as both leaders accused Joe Biden of enabling North Korea’s nuclear rise. President Lee told Trump the Korean peninsula was “stable” during Trump’s first term, but claimed North Korea advanced its weapons program significantly under Biden’s watch. Trump immediately seized the moment, declaring, “They would not have done that if I were President,” to which Lee replied, “I completely agree with you.” The dramatic on-camera moment is fueling debate in Washington and Seoul, with critics warning that such public criticism of Biden could inflame U.S. domestic politics and reshape Korean diplomacy. Supporters of Trump, however, hailed the remarks as proof that his strongman approach had kept Pyongyang in check. The sharp rebuke leaves Biden facing fresh questions over his North Korea policy. #Trump #DonaldTrump #PresidentLee #SouthKorea #NorthKorea #Biden #NuclearWeapons #WhiteHouse #TrumpVsBiden #USPolitics #KoreanPeninsula #BreakingNews #TrumpSpeech #NorthKoreaThreat #GlobalSecurity #Diplomacy #TrumpLeeMeeting #Trump2025 #BidenFailure #TrumpHeadlines ~ED.420~HT.408~

Trump REFUSES to Condemn Putin Even After Russia Strikes US Factory |What Does Putin Have On Trump? [Video]

Trump REFUSES to Condemn Putin Even After Russia Strikes US Factory |What Does Putin Have On Trump?

Russia’s missile strike on the U.S.-owned Flex factory in Ukraine was seen as a potential turning point in the war. But instead of lifting the ban on deep Ukrainian strikes inside Russia, President Trump responded with a tweet blaming Biden—without directly condemning Putin. Even after Putin openly rejected Trump’s calls for talks, the U.S. president showed restraint, raising doubts about his approach to Moscow. With Ukraine seeking stronger support and Russia flexing military power, Trump’s silence underscores Putin’s upper hand in diplomacy. #Trump #Putin #UkraineWar #RussiaUkraine #USPolitics #FlexFactory #MissileStrike #Kinzhal #CruiseMissile #Zelensky #WhiteHouse #Biden #TrumpTweet #GlobalConflict #WarNews #Diplomacy #Geopolitics #Russia #Ukraine #PutinPower #TrumpVsPutin #USRussiaRelations #BreakingNews #ForeignPolicy #Washington #Moscow #PeaceTalks #UkraineCrisis #TrumpSpeech #WorldPolitics #MilitaryNews Also Read US President Trump Appoints Close Aide Sergio Gor As India Ambassador :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/us-president-trump-appoints-close-aide-sergio-gor-as-india-ambassador-7838355.html?ref=DMDesc Trump Govt Reviews 55 Million US Visa Holders For Possible Deportation :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/trump-govt-reviews-55-million-us-visa-holders-for-possible-deportation-7837279.html?ref=DMDesc India Cheat US On Trade: Trump's Key Adviser Peter Navaroo :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/india-cheat-us-on-trade-trumps-key-adviser-peter-navaroo-7837205.html?ref=DMDesc ~GR.122~HT.408~

‘Zero Tolerance Under…’ Trump Breaks Silence After Russian Strikes On U.S Factory In Ukraine [Video]

‘Zero Tolerance Under…’ Trump Breaks Silence After Russian Strikes On U.S Factory In Ukraine

U.S. President Donald J. Trump reacted sharply after Russian missile strikes destroyed an American-owned factory in Ukraine, accusing Joe Biden of weakness and incompetence. Trump argued that Ukraine cannot win the war without striking inside Russia, blasting Biden for only allowing Kyiv to “defend” instead of “fight back.” He claimed the invasion would have “zero chance” of happening if he were in office, declaring that Biden’s failed leadership emboldened Moscow. The attack, which hit a U.S. electronics plant in western Ukraine, has intensified tensions and raised fears that Russia is deliberately targeting American investments. Trump’s fiery comments come as Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky warns that Vladimir Putin does not want peace but seeks to install a Russian-controlled puppet regime. With Washington and Europe scrambling for security guarantees, Trump’s blunt remarks signal deep divisions in U.S. policy as the war enters a new, dangerous phase. #Trump #Biden #UkraineWar #RussiaStrikes #Putin #Zelensky #USFactory #UkraineConflict #AmericanInvestments #BreakingNews #WorldNews #RussiaUkraine #UkraineAttack #DonaldTrump #JoeBiden #GlobalCrisis #Kremlin #WarInUkraine #PeaceTalks #Geopolitics ~ED.102~HT.408~

Trump’s New ‘All-Black’ Border Wall Strategy to ‘Roast’ Illegal Immigrants in the Heat

Donald Trump has introduced a new strategy to deter illegal immigration: painting the southern border wall black. Kristi Noem revealed the move, saying the black paint will absorb more heat, making the wall harder to climb while extending its durability. Border officials claim construction is advancing at half a mile per day, with added sensors and cameras. Interim El Paso Sector Chief Walter Slosar said migrant apprehensions have dropped dramatically, highlighting Trump’s tougher enforcement compared to Biden. #Trump #BorderWall #Immigration #KristiNoem #BorderSecurity #SouthernBorder #IllegalImmigration #TrumpPlan #ElPaso #BorderPatrol #MigrantCrisis #Trump2024 #BreakingNews #USPolitics #WallStrategy #ImmigrationPolicy #TrumpVsBiden #AllBlackWall #BorderUpdates #NationalSecurity Also Read US Imposed Sanctions On India To End Russia-Ukraine War, More Tariffs If Trump-Putin Talks Fail :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/us-imposed-sanctions-on-india-to-end-russia-ukraine-war-more-tariffs-if-trump-putin-talks-fail-7835021.html?ref=DMDesc Trump To Arrange Face-To-Face Meeting Between Putin And Ukraine's Zelenskyy :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/trump-to-arrange-face-to-face-meeting-between-putin-and-ukraines-zelenskyy-7833925.html?ref=DMDesc European Leaders Arrive At White House To Meet Trump On Ending Russia's War :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/european-leaders-arrive-at-white-house-to-meet-trump-on-ending-russias-war-7833821.html?ref=DMDesc ~HT.318~ED.103~

White House Summit Ends in Bitter Deadlock | Trump Pushes Arms Sales, Putin Escalates with Attacks
