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.

U.S. President Donald Trump has launched a fiery attack on Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-Texas), calling her “Low (Very!!!) I.Q.” and challenging her to take a cognitive exam. In a scathing Truth Social post, Trump compared Crockett to members of the progressive “AOC Plus Three” squad and claimed she was “only slightly dumber.”
He boasted about “acing” his own test during a recent physical at a military hospital, alleging Democrats would “fail” in “a spectacular show of stupidity and incompetence.” Crockett, a vocal Trump critic, recently called him a “piece of s---” during a public event, drawing national headlines. The feud comes as Texas Republicans push to redraw congressional districts in their favor.

Ukraine’s President Volodymyr Zelensky has reportedly not been invited to the upcoming Trump–Putin peace summit in Alaska on August 15, raising concerns of a diplomatic sidelining. White House sources say the meeting will focus on U.S.–Russia dialogue at Moscow’s request. While Trump has floated territorial swaps as a path to peace, Zelensky rejects the idea, citing constitutional limits. The Kremlin insists talks must address Crimea and four regions annexed in 2022, while Ukraine refuses any concessions, leaving negotiations at an impasse.

In a stunning shift, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has signaled readiness for peace talks with Russia, saying “it’s time to end the war.” His call for a “dignified peace” comes amid a confirmed Trump-Putin summit soon and ongoing Russian strikes. Zelensky proposed bilateral or trilateral summits and urged Moscow to match Ukraine’s courage. The Kremlin, however, questions Zelensky’s legitimacy, citing expired terms and lack of elections. With Putin-Trump talks expected soon, the path to peace now faces high-stakes political hurdles.

Putin has lashed out at U.S. President Donald Trump over his threat to impose higher tariffs on India if it continues buying Russian oil. The Kremlin condemned the move as “illegal” and an attack on national sovereignty, warning Washington against pressuring its allies. Putin emphasized that India has the right to choose its trade partners, while New Delhi dismissed Trump’s warnings as “unjustified” and accused the West of hypocrisy for continuing its own trade with Russia.

In a dramatic turn after his high-stakes Alaska meeting with Vladimir Putin, Donald Trump revealed that he expects a direct meeting between Putin and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky — or even a tense trilateral summit including himself. Calling the Alaska talks a “feel-out meeting,” Trump said Putin “wants to get it over with,” but noted that missiles are still pounding Kiev despite what he described as “great calls.”
Trump added that 5,000–7,000 people are dying every week in the war, and Ukraine is now drafting 60-year-olds into combat. He insisted he gets along with Zelensky but disagrees with his actions. The proposed Putin-Zelensky engagement could mark a critical turning point — or a diplomatic showdown with the stakes at their highest.

U.S. President Donald Trump has set off a storm of speculation after telling supporters, “I’m going to Russia,” just days before his planned August 15 meeting with Vladimir Putin in Alaska. This summit—the first face-to-face between the leaders since Trump’s return to the White House—was expected to focus on ending the war in Ukraine, with Trump hinting at a controversial “territory swap” proposal.
Alaska was chosen for its proximity to Russia across the Bering Strait, but Trump’s new remark has fueled rumors the venue could shift to Russian soil. For Moscow, the meeting is already being hailed as a diplomatic victory, marking Putin’s first U.S. invitation outside the U.N. since 2007. But if the location changes, the optics and stakes could transform overnight, raising fresh questions about U.S. strategy, Ukraine’s voice in negotiations, and Trump’s real intentions.

In a major policy shift, Germany has suspended arms exports to Israel that could be used in Gaza, citing rising civilian casualties and humanitarian concerns. Chancellor Friedrich Merz emphasized Israel’s right to self-defense but said Berlin could not ignore the human toll of the conflict. The move marks a rare break from U.S. alignment and reflects mounting European discontent. As the war intensifies, Germany calls for humanitarian corridors and warns against West Bank annexation, signaling a shift in global patience with Netanyahu’s strategy.

Germany has announced it will soon supply Ukraine with new long-range missile systems, but not the Taurus cruise missiles that Kyiv has long sought. Despite previous speculation, German Defense Minister Boris Pistorius confirmed that Taurus missiles—capable of striking targets up to 500 km away—will not be sent. Instead, Germany is providing Patriot air defense systems purchased from the U.S. Chancellor Friedrich Merz emphasized that diplomatic avenues with Russia are "exhausted" and vowed to counter what he called a “criminal regime.”

Donald Trump shocked reporters by abruptly firing Bureau of Labor Statistics Commissioner Erika McEntarfer — then inviting cameras into the Oval Office to present unverified economic data alongside conservative TV economist Stephen Moore. Critics warn this could be a dangerous politicization of U.S. economic reporting, while supporters claim Trump is “exposing the truth” about government numbers. The move comes just days before key jobs data is due, raising fears over market manipulation and public trust in official statistics.

In a fiery Oval Office moment, President Donald Trump announced he is “considering” federalizing the D.C. police force amid what he called an “out-of-control” crime wave in the nation’s capital. Citing a recent brutal assault on a young man, Trump blasted the city’s rising crime, unsafe streets, graffiti, and decaying infrastructure.
The president suggested the National Guard may be brought in to stabilize the situation, declaring that “we’re going to do something about it.” He emphasized his vision of a “safe and beautiful capital” and criticized city leadership for neglect and lawlessness. Trump also vowed to improve the capital’s appearance, from rundown medians to littered streets. While details remain unclear, his remarks have sparked major political debate over federal authority in D.C., especially regarding local law enforcement. The possibility of direct federal intervention has stunned city officials and reignited national discussion over crime, policing, and urban safety.

Just days before Donald Trump’s planned high-stakes meeting with Vladimir Putin, European allies have thrown a wrench into his peace plan. Leaders of the UK, France, Germany, Italy, Poland, Finland, and the EU issued a joint statement insisting that any talks with Russia must involve Ukraine’s leadership. President Zelensky has rejected Trump’s suggestion of possible territorial swaps, calling any deal made without Ukraine “dead decisions.” With Putin still refusing direct talks with Kyiv, tensions rise as the White House faces backlash over reports of concessions on Crimea and Donbas.
