Facebook Tweet Email Link For years, Donald Trump criticized presidents for empty threats. He often pointed to then-President Barack Obama failing to enforce his “red line” on Syria using chemical weapons. During his first term in 2017, Trump called it a “blank threat” that cost us “in many other parts of the world.” When Trump pulled the United States out of the Iran nuclear deal in 2018, he intoned: “Today’s action sends a critical message: The United States no longer makes empty threats. When I make promises, I keep them.” When Russia invaded Ukraine in 2022, Trump decried the Biden…

Facebook Tweet Email Link President Donald Trump is holding hastily arranged talks Monday with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky and a host of European leaders — a rarity at the White House — as he seeks to negotiate an end to Russia’s war in Ukraine. Most diplomats surveyed by CNN couldn’t remember another example of presidents and prime ministers ripping up their schedules to rush to Washington for emergency talks. European officials said the last-minute decision to come to Washington reflected the urgency many leaders feel in aligning with Trump on ending the war — but also their concern that they…

Facebook Tweet Email Link President Donald Trump made some false claims to the press while meeting with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky at the White House on Monday, including a long-debunked claim that the US has given Ukraine more than $300 billion in wartime aid. “I guess the number is well over $300 billion,” Trump said at one point in his televised remarks. At another, he said, “Under Biden, it was just crazy what was going on. I believe the number is over $300 (billion). I think it could be $350 billion worth of equipment and money and everything else.” Those…

Facebook Tweet Email Link Kyiv  —  Moments after the chaotic Oval Office press event between Presidents Donald Trump and Volodymyr Zelensky, I thought I heard a collective sigh of relief rise above the Kyiv skyline. “There is some good news: they didn’t fight,” was Ukrainian MP Yaroslav Zelezhnyak’s reaction on X. A head-on collision along the lines of the February Oval Office shouting match had been averted. “I expected much worse,” another MP, Oleksandr Merezhko, told CNN. “The tone has changed. Trump wasn’t negative. The impression is that the presidents have gotten used to each other.” Maryan Zablotsky, another parliament…

Facebook Tweet Email Link If your surname is Hadid, Jenner or Lipa, a summer break isn’t so much switching on your out-of-office for one precious week but a seemingly endless stretch of sun and sea. And while the backdrops of their photo “dumps” on Instagram might vary, from the pristine deck of a private yacht to a no-filter-necessary beach shack, what their holiday snaps have in common is their swimwear. When Kylie Jenner posted a mirror selfie of a polka-dot two-piece — caption: “italian summer yes pleaseeee 🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍” — the bikini in question was by Frankies Bikinis. (In fact, it…
