US President Donald Trump has played down hopes of providing Ukraine with Tomahawk cruise missiles, citing the need for these powerful weapons in a future conflict. The request by Ukraine was made during a White House meeting between Trump and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy.
Trump stated that "it's not easy for us to give [Ukraine] massive numbers of very powerful weapons," adding that he hopes the war will be over without needing such advanced arms. This statement is particularly concerning given previous instances where Trump's stance on providing military aid has shifted following negotiations with Russian President Vladimir Putin or European supporters of Ukraine.
During the meeting, Trump also discussed plans to hold a bilateral summit with Putin in Hungary, despite expressing his concerns about damaged US-Russian relations due to past dealings between Trump and Putin.
In another move, President Trump announced that he had commuted the sentence of former New York representative George Santos who is currently serving over seven years for federal fraud charges.
Additionally, John Bolton, a former national security adviser to Donald Trump, has been charged with sharing classified information with relatives and stored sensitive documents at his home. He has pleaded not guilty to these charges.
Meanwhile, Fox News employees have expressed concerns about the network's editorial standards and hosting conduct in an internal survey released last year, while Young Republicans in New York were suspended after members participated in racist messages that were leaked publicly.
Furthermore, Trump claimed that Venezuelan leader Nicolás Maduro was willing to give 'everything' to ease US tensions following a heated exchange between the two leaders.
In another development, Republicans have launched a deepfake video of Senate minority leader Chuck Schumer as part of an attack ad.

its like, what's up w/ him & russia?? i mean, we all know how much trumps love for putin but ukraine needs that help 2 survive the war 
doesnt matter if he thinks they dont need it or not, Ukraine is fightin 4 their lives 
we need more transparency & respect 4 each other online 
like they're not still fighting for their lives over there? and what's up with him trying to make amends with russia, hoping to smooth things over for his own ego? 
that's not how diplomacy works. and meanwhile, he's got the nerve to commute george santos' sentence and let john bolton off scot-free. priorities, trump?! 
. like what's the deal with him and russia? one minute he's all buddy buddies with putin, next minute he's talking about sanctions 
. and now this deepfake video of schumer is just low 
. fox news employees are speaking out against their own network's toxicity 
and it's like we need to get some accountability in the media ASAP 
.
. like um, isn't it kinda obvious that conflicts are gonna keep happening 
? and now venezuela's mad at him too 
after their exchange 
it's easy to be all wishy washy when you're the one with the power, but what about when you're the ones who are actually hurtin'? and then there's this whole thing with trump talkin down his own party members... it's like, we're all in this together, right? 
. And now he's saying these powerful weapons are needed for a future conflict... isn't that just what we're already in? It's like he's not learning from history 
. I also saw this article about George Santos getting a commuted sentence... it feels like we're seeing some familiar patterns with Trump, like how his administration is handling classified info 
?
. And what's up with him and Putin again? It seems like they're always going back and forth on these issues. Can't we just get some clarity here?
. I mean, seven years in prison for federal fraud charges? That's some crazy stuff right there.
. Like, Republicans are already getting pretty sketchy with their tactics, but a fake Chuck Schumer video? That's just low 
. Can't they just stick to the facts and play it straight?
. One thing's for sure, though: it's going to be a wild ride while Trump is in office 
.
According to a CNN report, the US has already sent $250M in military aid to Ukraine since 2014. And guess what? It's worked! Ukraine's forces have made some significant gains. 
And now, he's considering a bilateral summit? That's gotta be a low point for damaged US-Russian relations. 
On the other hand, Fox News employees are now speaking out about their concerns over editorial standards. Maybe it's time for some internal soul-searching? 
According to Gallup, his highest rating was 43% in July 2017, while the lowest was 35% in December 2022! 
Not bad... not bad at all.
