Trump is increasingly annoyed by Putin – “a lot of nonsense”

The Supreme Court gives the US government a stage victory for planned mass layoffs. All developments on US politics in the news blog.

On Tuesday, Donald Trump was upset by the Russian President Vladimir Putin and accused him of adding up “a lot of nonsense”. Before that, he had spoken out again for a quick end of the Russian war of attack against Ukraine and emphasized that he was not happy with Putin at all. Therefore, the United States would send some defense weapons to Ukraine – he had approved it. Last week it was said that the United States stopped the delivery of some of the weapons that have already been promised – including anti -aircraft missiles.

According to a media report, the US President is considering sending Ukraine an additional Patriot air defense system in view of the massive Russian attacks. This reported the “Wall Street Journal” (WSJ), citing two civil servants. Accordingly, the White House asked the Pentagon for the delivery for the delivery of additional weapons, including a patriot system. It would be the first time that Trump approved the delivery of a larger weapon system to Kiev, which goes beyond the number approved by the government of its predecessor Joe Biden.

In Washington, US President Donald Trump and Israel’s head of government Benjamin Netanyahu have come together for a conversation within 24 hours. At the meeting in the White House on Tuesday evening (local time), according to Trump, it should be “almost exclusively” about the situation in the Gaza Strip with the aim of ending the “tragedy” there.

“It is a tragedy and he wants to solve it and I want to solve it, and I think the other side wants that too,” Trump said before Netanyahus’s arrival. In his part, Netanyahu answered the question of whether an agreement for an ceasefire between Hamas and Israel in the Gaza Strip was imminent with the words: “We definitely work on it”.

On the table is a proposal by the international broker for a 60-day break. Trump’s special representative Steve Witkoff said he hoped for an agreement within a few days. “We are confident that we will achieve an agreement by the end of this week that will lead us to a 60-day ceasefire,” said Witkoff. The proposal would include the return of ten living hostages to Israel and the return of nine dead hostages, added Witkoff

According to media reports, a fraudster has pretended to be U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio with the help of artificial intelligence and is said to have sent messages to high-ranking politicians. A spokeswoman for the U.S. State Department said when asked by journalists. However, with reference to the ongoing investigation, she made no more detailed information on what exactly happened. It is unclear how big the damage is and whether sensitive information has been replaced. Read more here.
