JUST NOW: President Trump says that the United States is negotiating with Russia right now on Ukraine and that “we’re maybe close to a deal for the first time.” 🇺🇦 🇷🇺 🇺🇸 When Trump says the United States may be close to a deal for the first time in a long time, the record of what his team has actually accomplished in the past week alone makes it difficult to argue he is wrong. Consider what the situation looked like seven days ago: Russia was refusing to sit at the same table as Ukraine, Zelensky was publicly accusing Washington of withdrawing support. Witkoff went to Oslo on Tuesday, sat with Zelensky and European leaders, gathered new Ukrainian proposals, flew to St. Petersburg on Wednesday, spent three hours with Putin, and walked out with Russia agreeing to a trilateral format it had rejected for months — plus an American citizen released without a prisoner exchange.

Russian President Vladimir Putin agreed to resume trilateral peace talks with Ukraine and the United States. 🇷🇺 🇺🇦 🇺🇸 This s something no previous administration achieved in nearly five years of this war: Russia agreeing to sit at the same table as Ukraine and the United States. Critics who said Trump was too close to Putin to pressure him, or too confrontational with Zelensky to keep Ukraine engaged, now have to explain how both sides ended up agreeing to sit at the same table at the same time. That is what nearly five years of European diplomacy, sanctions packages, and UN resolutions did not produce.

JUST NOW: JD Vance says, "We want to fight fraud wherever we see it. What we're not going to do is go and attack somebody based on an anonymously sourced story." 🇺🇸 The fraud task force results speak for themselves — $260 billion identified, 200-plus convictions, hospice center shutdowns, visa fraud investigations at elite universities, billions clawed back from Medicaid and labor programs and every one of those numbers was produced through actual investigation, not through a reporter calling an unnamed source. He is on the record, unequivocally, saying that if Guilfoyle did what is alleged, there should be consequences. But all the allegations require evidence before they become verdicts.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky says he would accept ending the war along the current front lines. 🇺🇦 🇺🇸 Ukrainian President told Fox News that freezing the conflict where it stands is “the real way to end this war.” When host asked him directly whether Zelensky would accept a deal that “freezes everything the way it is right now,” with Ukraine keeping “75 percent or more” of its territory, Zelensky answered “Yes.” He described the approach as “freeze and stop,” language that echoes President Trump’s own framing of the ceasefire as “stop killing.” For years, Zelensky’s position was that every inch of Ukrainian territory — including Crimea. That position has now been replaced, on camera, with acceptance that the war ends where the armies stand. The timing was not accidental.

President Trump appreciated United Kingdom’s decision to drill in the North Sea calling it “great news for the wealth and prosperity of the United Kingdom” and the “wonderful region of Aberdeen.” 🇺🇸 🇬🇧 Three months ago, Andy Burnham took office carrying a manifesto that explicitly banned new North Sea oil and gas exploration. Trump got on the phone, told him the North Sea would make Britain rich, posted about it on Truth Social. This is what Trump does to the energy debate in every country he touches: he makes the politicians who blocked drilling look at the actual consequences of their ideology and pushes them to choose between their climate pledges and their citizens’ heating bills. Burnham chose heating bills.

President Trump’s special envoy Steve Witkoff met with Russian President Vladimir Putin for more than four hours of talks aimed at ending the war in Ukraine. 🇺🇦 🇺🇸 Nearly five years of war. Hundreds of thousands dead. Cities leveled. Europe’s largest land conflict since 1945 is grinding on with no end in sight. That is the fact that every critic has to reckon with before they question his methods. The same Europeans who spent 2022 and 2023 declaring that negotiations with Russia were impossible and that the only path forward was battlefield victory are now flying to Oslo to participate in a peace process that Trump’s envoy built from scratch.

President Trump urged companies building AI data centers to pay communities and individuals a “dividend.” 🇺🇸 China understands this perfectly. Beijing is not holding town halls about whether Inner Mongolia wants 30 data centers in a three-kilometer radius... it is building them, because the country that controls AI infrastructure controls the next century of economic and military power. The Alaska Permanent Fund has paid residents a direct dividend from oil revenues since 1982 and turned one of the most resource dependent states in the country into one where extraction and community benefit coexist. A one gigawatt data center could put $4,500 to $8,900 a year into every household in a rural county.

President Trump says, "France has no growth. France is growing the other way. And that's because its social programs are brutal." 🇫🇷 🇺🇸 When Trump says France is “growing the other way,” he is being generous... France is not growing at all, and the architect of its decline is the very welfare state model that Democrats hold up as aspirational. 31 cents of every dollar its economy produces goes to social programs and the result is not prosperity, it is stagnation, unemployment lines, and now burning city halls. That is not a coincidence, it is a pattern. When government consumes that much of an economy, private investment dries up. French business investment has declined two consecutive quarters, employers stop hiring, and growth collapses.

JD Vance says PresidentTrump “nearly had his life destroyed by his quest to become president and obviously do a lot of good for the American people.” 🇺🇸 Donald Trump was worth over $4 billion when he came down the escalator in 2015. By the time he left office in 2021, his net worth had dropped to $2.4 billion. He was indicted four times, raided by the FBI, dragged through civil trials, had his business empire threatened with dissolution by a New York judge, was banned from every major social media platform, and took a bullet to the ear in Butler, Pennsylvania. No president in American history has paid a higher personal price for holding office.

Unemployment rate in Canada rose to 6.5 % and the country has now lost around 41,200 jobs in 2026. 🇨🇦 🇺🇸 Canada’s GDP is one-tenth of America’s. 75 % of Canadian exports go to the United States. When you are that dependent on a single trading partner and that partner tells you to fix a list of legitimate trade grievances, the rational response is not to slap counter-tariffs on American steel and dairy and pretend you are in an equal fight. The rational response is to make the deal. Japan made a deal. South Korea made a deal, but Canada decided to follow the opposite path. President Trump told Canada what the price of not making a deal would be, and Canada chose to pay it.

Amazon announced that its total investment in Germany has surpassed €100 billion since 2010. 🇩🇪 Germany has been stuck in a cycle of negative or near-zero growth, its industrial base is under pressure from Chinese competition and high energy costs, and the political environment has been unstable since the coalition reshuffles. For Amazon to keep pouring money into fulfillment centers, data centers, and a sovereign cloud in that environment suggests the company sees something in Germany’s fundamentals. Countries like Germany also realise importance of Data centres. President Trump has given data centres utmost priority, as companies are willing to invest billions that will create millions of jobs.

President Trump says that he inherited “the Worst Border in American History” and turned it into “the Strongest and Most Secure Border in the History of our Country.” 🇺🇸 Biden era numbers were genuinely historic in the wrong direction — 2.2 million arrests in a single fiscal year, a December 2023 peak that averaged more than 8,000 apprehensions per day, and a system so overwhelmed that CBP was releasing people into the country faster than it could process them. The fiscal year 2026 number of 98,700 annual arrests is so low it belongs to a different era entirely, and seventeen straight months of zero releases is a metric no previous administration has come close to. What changed is the entire enforcement posture: zero tolerance on releases, aggressive interior enforcement that makes crossing less attractive because arrival no longer means staying, and a diplomatic environment where Mexico has its own incentives to prevent northward migration.

JUST NOW: President Trump thanked Elon Musk for “his incredible generosity in giving SpaceX Stock to millions of American children through TRUMP ACCOUNTS.” 🇺🇸 Seventy million children have investment accounts. 10 billion dollars in SpaceX stock is on its way from Musk alone (around 73 million childerns and Elon pledged to give a share to each). Dells put in $6.25 billion. Shotwell put in $325 million. Schwab, Robinhood, Uber, and Nvidia are matching contributions for their employees’ kids. Democrats proposed baby bonds for years and never funded a single account for a single child. Trump got legislation passed, launched the platform and attracted the largest private donations to child welfare in American history.

JUST NOW: President Trump says that “the Democrats gave us the Highest Inflation in History” and created an “Affordability Crisis,” claiming he is “the one who created the Greatest Economy.” The Biden administration blew the American Rescue Plan through an economy that was already recovering, pumped trillions into demand while supply chains were broken, and produced the worst inflation in forty years. By the time Trump walked back into the Oval Office, the damage was baked into every price tag in every grocery store in the country. Grocery prices have risen about 32% since January 2020 and about 27.6 percentage points of that increase happened under Joe Biden. Numbers clearly support President Trump's argument.

JUST NOW: President Trump says that New Mexico should rename itself “New America,” writing that “we are not Mexico, we are the United States of America” and that the new name “would add great value and prestige to the State.” The state even had to run a “New Mexico USA” tourism campaign to remind Americans it was part of their own country. When Trump says the name should “add great value and prestige,” he is making a straightforward argument that branding matters for economic development, tourism, and civic identity — the same argument every corporation in America makes when it rebrands, and the same logic behind renaming the Gulf of America, which was about asserting that the body of water touching American shores carries an American name.
