In a stunning Oval Office remark, U.S. President Donald Trump compared the Russia-Ukraine war to “two kids fighting,” saying it might be better to let them brawl before stepping in. The Kremlin responded sharply, calling the war an "existential issue" tied to Russia’s national security and future. As German Chancellor Merz urged U.S. intervention, Trump signaled a more hands-off approach. The latest Trump-Putin exchange reveals deep global divisions and raises questions about America’s role in ending the war. Here's what both sides are really saying.

In a dramatic analogy, U.S. President Donald Trump compared the Russia-Ukraine war to a children's brawl, saying it's better to “let them fight for a while” before peace is enforced. During his Oval Office meeting with German Chancellor Friedrich Merz, Trump claimed acting like a referee, not a peacemaker. He also hinted at possible punitive actions against both nations if the war doesn't end, stating “it takes two to tango.” Merz, invoking D-Day history, urged Trump to use America’s power to stop Putin and bring peace to Europe.

Russian President Vladimir Putin has called U.S. President Donald Trump a “courageous man,” saying he once again respects America under Trump’s leadership. During his visit to Belarus, Putin praised Trump for surviving last year’s assassination attempt and credited him with restoring direct U.S.-Russia communications.
Trump emphasized that the wars in Ukraine and Gaza wouldn’t have happened under his presidency. Putin, speaking from Minsk, also said Trump is sincerely trying to broker peace in Ukraine. Since returning to office, Trump has reportedly spoken to Putin five times, reigniting direct channels cut off under Biden. The remarks underscore a dramatic shift in global tone and U.S. diplomacy under Trump’s second term.

In a landmark diplomatic moment, DR Congo and Rwanda signed a historic U.S.-brokered peace deal in Washington aimed at ending decades of deadly conflict. President Donald Trump called it a “glorious triumph” while hosting the signing ceremony in the Oval Office, flanked by VP JD Vance and Secretary of State Marco Rubio.
The agreement includes “disengagement, disarmament and conditional integration” of armed groups and signals potential U.S. access to DR Congo’s rare earth minerals. Yet deep questions remain—especially regarding the M23 rebels, Rwandan troop presence, and humanitarian access. With both countries denying support for rival militias, the full terms remain classified, fueling skepticism.
Trump, however, hailed it as a generational victory. Previous similar treaties have failed. But this deal, supported by earlier Qatari mediation, might offer a sliver of hope in a region long marred by instability and mineral-fueled warfare.

An Israeli court has rejected Prime Minister Netanyahu’s attempt to delay his corruption trial, despite citing national security concerns following the 12-day war with Iran. The court called the request vague and lacking justification. The decision comes after Donald Trump publicly urged for the trial to be cancelled or a pardon issued, calling Netanyahu a “great hero.” Netanyahu thanked Trump for his support, but denies all wrongdoing. He faces accusations of accepting lavish gifts and trading political favors for positive press. The trial continues amid ongoing judicial reform controversies.

Israel has expanded its air campaign to southern Iran, striking the Arak reactor to clear a path toward the fortified Fordow nuclear site. The IDF claims half of Iran’s missile launchers have been destroyed, with UAVs and jets executing rapid “stand-on” strikes. With radars and defenses south of Tehran neutralized, Israel is intensifying operations for full air dominance. Meanwhile, 14 cargo planes—reportedly from the U.S. and Germany—have delivered undisclosed military aid as tensions escalate following a cluster missile strike in Tel Aviv.

Speaking at the ‘Big Beautiful Event’ at the White House, Donald Trump hinted at a “very big” trade deal with India, weeks after high-level bilateral talks concluded in Washington. The potential agreement, focused on boosting market access and slashing tariffs, could push annual trade from $190B to $500B by 2030. Trump also confirmed a trade deal with China targeting rare earth shipments. As global trade tensions simmer, India finds itself at the heart of U.S. trade strategy under Trump’s renewed protectionist yet high-stakes approach to bilateral negotiations.

In a fiery rebuttal, she defends DHS, stating, “We are trying to keep children out of harm’s way,” and accuses the previous administration of allowing widespread child trafficking and abuse.
