JUST IN: Trump Says “I Think We Have a Deal with Russia” on Peace with Ukraine – “I Think we Have a Deal with Both. I Hope They Do it”

President Trump on Wednesday spoke to reporters in the Oval Office during an executive order signing and signaled hope that Russia is ready to end the war in Ukraine.

“I thought it might be easier to deal with Zelensky. So far, it’s been harder, but that’s okay, it’s all right,” he said. It can be recalled that Zelensky sabotaged peace negotiations with President Trump in February by disrespecting him in the Oval Office and reneging on a pre-agreed-upon peace deal. Ukraine had previously approved Trump’s requested mineral rights deal with the US to compensate Americans for the hundreds of billions of dollars of taxpayer money Joe Biden gave them over the last four years, but the agreement was not formalized during Zelensky’s visit to the White House nearly two months ago.

Trump accuses Zelensky of harming peace talks

Ukraine’s Vladimir Zelensky could lose the entirety of his country if he continues stalling talks with Russia, US President Donald Trump warned in a post on Truth Social on Wednesday. Zelensky had publicly announced that Kiev will not even discuss officially recognizing the Crimean Peninsula as Russian, a key tenet of a Washington-backed peace proposal which it was to present at a meeting with officials the country's European backers on Wednesday. Following the rebuttal the top members of the US delegation withdrew from the planned talks, leading to the meeting being “downgraded” at the last minute.

Rubio, Witkoff Dismiss Fake News Politico Story That White House Is Considering Lifting Sanctions on Russia: ‘Totally Fictitious

Secretary of State Marco Rubio and Steve Witkoff, President Donald Trump’s Special Envoy to the Middle East, responded to a fake news story from Politico claiming the Trump administration is considering lifting sanctions against Russia. Rubio and Witkoff labeled the story as “totally fictitious.”

“This is false,” Rubio and Witkoff said in a joint statement. “Neither of us have had any conversations about lifting sanctions on Russia as part of a peace deal with Ukraine. This is just totally fictitious and irresponsible reporting from Politico, a fifth-rate publication. If they have an ounce of journalistic integrity they will fully retract this piece of fiction.”

‘EU wants war, not talks’ – Kremlin

The bloc has opposed efforts by Moscow and Washington to broker a peace deal in the Ukraine conflict, spokesman Dmitry Peskov has said

The EU has been obstructing US-Russian diplomatic efforts to end the Ukraine conflict, working instead to prolong the hostilities, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov has said. He made the remarks in an interview with French magazine Le Point on Wednesday. According to Peskov, the EU has clearly shown that it lacks independence, and it seemed “the whole continent” was working for the administration of former US President Joe Biden after the Ukraine conflict escalated in 2022.

"We're working with our customers right now, we're not going to wait..."

Boeing reported first-quarter results that Goldman analysts described as "improved," but the real headline this morning isn't the earnings—it's CEO Kelly Ortberg's CNBC interview, in which he revealed that China has halted aircraft deliveries. In a televised interview with CNBC's Squawk on the Street, CEO Ortberg stated that Chinese airlines had "in fact stopped taking delivery of aircraft due to the tariff environment." He noted that the aviation giant would begin marketing the commercial jets to other carriers if deliveries were prolonged.

Canada on Track to See Anti-Trump, China-Friendly Govt as Election Enters Final Week

The first post-Justin Trudeau Canadian federal election campaign has entered its final week, and the race between the two leading parties, the leftist Liberals and the notionally center-right Conservatives, has tightened.

Early voting took place over the Easter weekend, and a record number of people showed up at the polls, which could indicate a high turnout overall. The election comes after former Prime Minister Justin Trudeau resigned after nearly a decade in power, after a political career embroiled in scandal after scandal. The Canadian parliament was suspended as Trudeau’s Liberals engaged in an internal leadership race that saw globalist former Bank of England head Mark Carney win the vote.

The United Kingdom continues its descent, making a dystopian nightmare a reality.

The BBC reported last week that Rushmoor Borough Council in Hampshire, England, has proposed an injunction against Christian street preachers in the towns of Aldershot and Farnborough. The council claimed they received "a significant number of complaints from residents and businesses of some street preachers" over the past two years.

Unveiled on Wednesday, the proposed policy would offer up to SEK 600,000 ($61,134) to migrant families who choose to repatriate or resettle outside the European Union and select neighboring countries. Individual adults could receive SEK 350,000 ($35,974), while couples may qualify for up to SEK 500,000 ($50,933). Families would also be eligible for an additional SEK 25,000 ($2,490) per child under 18, capped at the SEK 600,000 total.

Rubio: Iran can have a civilian nuclear program if it gives up uranium enrichment

US Secretary of State stresses that Iran must cease uranium enrichment to reach a deal with Washington.

As the United States and Iran prepare for a new round of nuclear negotiations this Saturday in Oman, American officials have renewed their call for Tehran to completely abandon its uranium enrichment activities, Reuters reported on Wednesday. US Secretary of State Marco Rubio stated that any potential agreement would require Iran to end all domestic uranium enrichment and rely solely on imported material for its civilian nuclear needs. “There’s a pathway to a civil, peaceful nuclear program if they want one,” Rubio said during an appearance on the Honestly with Bari Weiss podcast. “But if they insist on enriching, then they will be the only country in the world that doesn’t have a ‘weapons program,’ … but is enriching. And so I think that’s problematic.”

Iran expands security at buried nuclear sites – think tank

Iran is constructing a new security perimeter around two underground tunnel complexes near its Natanz nuclear site, according to a report by the Institute for Science and International Security (ISIS) released Wednesday.

The sites, buried beneath Mount Kolang Gaz La, have not been accessed by international inspectors. "The creation of a security perimeter around deeply buried sites associated with uranium enrichment suggests that Iran is increasingly worried about an individual or group seeking to enter the tunnel complexes undetected," the report wrote. "Whether this type of protective barrier would be effective against a well-armed and resourced adversary is unclear."

Palestinian Authority Chairman Mahmoud Abbas calls on Hamas to release hostages, hand its weapons over to the Palestinian Authority.

Palestinian Authority Chairman Mahmoud Abbas on Wednesday called on Hamas to release the hostages "in order to prevent Israel's excuses," calling the terror group "sons of dogs." "The coup which Hamas conducted in 2007 gave Israel an excuse to destroy the Gaza Strip: 2,165 families were completely wiped out, and 6,664 were partially wiped out. More than two-thirds of the homes were destroyed in the war." "The war needs to end," he warned. "Every day there are hundreds killed. Why? You don't want to hand over the American hostages. You sons of dogs! Hand over the hostages and be finished with the matter."

The O’Keefe Media Group on Wednesday released undercover video of a Defense Department Branch Chief attacking President Trump and Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth.

Nicolas Turza, a Department of Defense Branch Chief, called President Trump “illegitimate” and vowed to “resist him, everything he does.” Turza also attacked Hegseth and said the 44-year-old is “insanely young” and unfit to lead. “The same guy who tried to overthrow an election is just, like, truly setting us down a path of dictatorship. He’s illegitimate. He’s terribly immoral, breaking every norm. We’re going to resist him. Everything he does,” Turza said about Trump.

White House press secretary says Trump isn't softening on China

White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt said this afternoon that the Trump administration will not unilaterally reduce tariffs imposed on China.

"Let me be clear, there will be no unilateral reduction in tariffs against China," she said in an interview on Fox News. "The president has made it clear China needs to make a deal with the United States of America, and we are optimistic that will happen."

She rejected the idea that Trump's position on tariffs on China has been softening.

"He is not going to give up on ensuring that there are fair trade practices around the world," she said. "He is not giving up on the fact that China has been ripping off the United States of America for far too long."

Washed Up Al Gore Compares Trump White House to Nazi Germany in Apocalyptic Speech (VIDEO)

Former Vice-President Al Gore has compared the Trump administration to Nazi Germany.

Addressing an audience at San Francisco’s Climate Week, Gore accused the Trump White House of “trying to create their own preferred version of reality” to push through their agenda in a fashion reminiscent of Hitler’s Nazi regime in the 1930s and ’40s. “I understand very well why it is wrong to compare Adolf Hitler’s Third Reich to any other movement,” Gore said. “But there are important lessons from the history of that emergent evil.”

Trump VA Directs Staff to Report Anti-Christian Bias

The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) has initiated a task force to combat “anti-Christian discrimination,” encouraging personnel to report suspected bias through a newly established tip line.

Announced through a memo on Tuesday, VA Secretary Doug Collins, appointed by President Donald J. Trump, directed employees to report any instances of discrimination. This scheme aligns with the administration’s overarching campaign to highlight the anti-Christian sentiment that flourished under former President Joe Biden. Earlier in February, President Trump signed an executive order noting that the previous administration exhibited a significant pattern of targeting individuals due to their Christian beliefs.

It Appears That Mass Deportations Of The Elderly Are Not Being Considered

The change should come as a relief given the claims on the left that Trump is planning to “disappear” journalists, homosexuals, and members of Congress...

With all of the coverage yesterday of the heated arguments in Mahmoud v. Taylor, one order of the Court was likely overlooked. It appears that elderly Americans will not be deported as Alien Elderly Americans. At the request of the A.A.R.P., the Court agreed to change the name of A.A.R.P. v. Trump to W.M.M. v. Trump. The case is a pending class action lawsuit seeking the protection of alleged Venezuelan gang members facing deportation under the Alien Enemies Act.

REDEMPTION FOR THE VACCINE-PURGED: Secretary Pete Hegseth Issues Powerful Reinstatement Order for Troops Removed by ‘Unlawful Experimental COVID-19 Jab Mandate’

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth announced sweeping reforms to address the catastrophic fallout from the Biden administration’s unlawful COVID-19 vaccine mandate.

Speaking with the conviction of a leader determined to rebuild trust, Hegseth outlined the Department of Defense’s (DOD) aggressive efforts to reinstate service members and veterans who were unfairly punished for standing by their principles. The Gateway Pundit previously reported on military veterans’ concerns about a new Department of Defense reinstatement form, which they claim hides the truth about their forced separations during the COVID-19 vaccine mandate era.

RFK Jr. Mulls Removing Covid Vaccines from CDC Child Schedule

Health and Human Services (HHS) Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. is reportedly evaluating whether to remove the COVID-19 vaccine from the list of recommended vaccinations for children.

A recent report by POLITICO cited anonymous sources said to be privy to the ongoing discussions. While not codified as mandatory, the vaccine was added to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) schedule in 2023. The CDC’s vaccine schedule aims to guide rather than mandate vaccinations, with decisions about school vaccine mandates falling under state and local jurisdiction. Currently, all 50 states provide medical exemptions from vaccine requirements for school entry.

Bessent Calls for IMF, World Bank To Walk Away From Climate, Gender, and Social Policy

Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent on Wednesday called for sweeping reforms at the International Monetary Fund and World Bank, urging the institutions to abandon what he described as “mission creep” and return to their founding charters focused on macroeconomic stability, trade, and development.

Speaking at the Institute of International Finance during the spring meetings of the IMF and World Bank, Bessent said that “America First does not mean America alone.” He argued that the Trump administration is not looking to abandon international institutions or the global financial system built with American leadership, but rather is making a renewed commitment to U.S. leadership within it.

The CEOs of Walmart, Target, Home Depot and Lowe’s Warn That Store Shelves All Over America Could “Soon Be Empty”

If you are going to need anything made in China, I would buy it now while you still can.

Many companies have already decided that it no longer makes any economic sense to import Chinese-made products into the United States because tariff rates are so high. As a result, there are certain things that will soon no longer be available to U.S. consumers. On Monday, when I posted an article warning about “empty shelves” in the months ahead, some people thought that I was exaggerating. But of course the truth is that I was not exaggerating at all. On Tuesday, the CEOs of Walmart, Target, Home Depot and Lowe’s specifically warned President Trump that store shelves all over the country could “soon be empty” during a meeting at the White House…

Trilateral Commissioner Eric Schmidt Warns That AI Is About To Escape Human Control

Artificial intelligence keeps getting smarter — and soon, warns former Google CEO Eric Schmidt, it won’t take orders from us anymore.

During a talk at a recent summit co-hosted by Schmidt’s think tank, the Special Competitive Studies Project, the former Google head predicted that within “three to five years,” researchers will crack the case on so-called artificial general intelligence, or human-level AI. After that, Schmidt suggested, all bets are off. Once AI begins to self-improve and learn how to plan, the tech policy mogul said, it essentially won’t “have to listen to us anymore.” At that stage, he continued, AI will not only be smarter than humans, but will also reach what is known as artificial superintelligence (ASI), which occurs when AI becomes smarter than all humans put together.

Jones Road Wildfire in New Jersey explodes in size, burning over 3 400 ha (8 500 acres)

The Jones Road Wildfire broke out in Ocean County, New Jersey, on April 22, 2025. By 22:30 local time (LT) on the same day, the fire had burned through 3 440 ha (8 500 acres) and was 10 % contained. More than 3 000 people were forced to evacuate.

The fire is threatening more than 1 300 structures and has forced the closure of major routes in the area. The Garden State Parkway, one of the busiest highways in New Jersey, was closed between Barnegat and Lacey townships. Several other routes have also been closed. The Jersey Central Power and Light Company cut electricity to approximately 25 000 customers on Tuesday evening at the request of the Forest Fire Service and the wildfire’s command post. This included thousands of residents in Barnegat Township.
