One month ago, Trump wrote "Vladimir, STOP", yet last night Russia perpetuated another deadly attack, killing several civilians, including children.

When will Trump & his entourage realize that giving up on Ukraine means Russia but also China won't take them seriously any more?

Breaking from Kyiv: Merz, Macron, Starmer and Tusk urge Putin to accept an unconditional 30-days ceasefire, strongly rejecting Moscow’s demand of first halting Western military aid.

We’ve been wondering how the Trump team came up with these weird tariffs that other countries are allegedly charging the U.S. — a fictive 39% for the EU — to justify their reciprocal tariffs.

Sander Tordoir found out they simply divided the trade deficit by exports to U.S.

This is wild.
