Trump claims US nearing deal to end Russia-Ukraine war

by
Trump claims

US President Donald Trump has said that his administration is close to finalizing an agreement to end the ongoing Russia–Ukraine war.

Speaking at a Thanksgiving event at the White House, President Trump noted that thousands of soldiers have been killed in the conflict, but “extraordinary progress” has now been made on a proposed peace deal aimed at bringing the war to an end.

Trump said his administration had helped stop eight conflicts in nine months, and efforts were now underway to halt another war.

He also shared an update on social media regarding Ukraine, stating that he had instructed his special representative, Steve Witkoff, to travel to Moscow for a meeting with the Russian President. According to Trump, only a few outstanding issues remain before an agreement can be finalized.

The White House also confirmed the significant progress, saying that while the peace framework had advanced, several “delicate points” still required further negotiations.

A few days earlier, U.S. and Ukrainian officials held talks in Geneva on a 28-point American peace proposal, after which both sides agreed to continue working on a new framework.

It is worth noting that President Trump has given Ukraine a deadline of November 27 to accept the peace agreement.

Washington, D.C.: Newly elected New York Mayor Zohran Mamdani met with U.S. President Donald Trump at the White House, where they discussed mutual interests and cooperation on city and national matters.

Speaking to the media after the meeting, President Trump described the discussion as “good and productive,” expressing hope that Mamdani would manage New York’s affairs effectively. He added, “We will support him and provide every possible assistance to meet the expectations of the people.”

Trump also remarked that the mayor’s decisions could surprise conservatives, saying, “I hope Mamdani will astonish some conservatives.”

Responding to a question regarding the possible arrest of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, Trump clarified that the issue was not discussed during the meeting.

On international affairs, Trump highlighted his efforts in establishing peace in the Middle East, stating that he had facilitated eight peace agreements, including initiatives to end conflicts between Pakistan and India. He emphasized that both he and Mamdani share the goal of reducing wars globally.

During the meeting, Mamdani, without naming any country, criticized U.S. funding policies for Israel, stating that supporters of both he and Trump agree that American taxpayer money should not fund countries violating human rights.

When asked by a journalist whether he considered Trump a fascist, Mamdani began to respond, but Trump interjected, saying he had no objection if Mamdani called him that, noting, “It’s easier to say than explain, and I don’t mind.”

Mamdani also confirmed that he discussed the issue of alleged genocide in Gaza with President Trump during their meeting.

US President Donald Trump has come under renewed criticism following the viral circulation of a video showing inappropriate behavior toward Bloomberg journalist Katherine Lucy.

According to international news agencies, the incident occurred on Air Force One, when Lucy asked Trump a question regarding recently released documents related to convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.

The video shows Trump raising his finger to silence the journalist before she could finish her question, using derogatory language in the process. Lucy did not respond publicly to Trump’s conduct.

The clip quickly went viral on social media, drawing widespread condemnation from journalism figures and online users.

Bloomberg expressed support for Lucy, stating, “Our reporters perform an important public service and will continue to ask questions without fear.”

When White House officials were asked about Trump’s behavior, they claimed that the reporter “behaved inappropriately and unprofessionally with colleagues on the plane,” though no evidence was provided to substantiate the claim.

MIAMI: US President Donald Trump has asserted that eight aircraft were shot down during the Pakistan-India conflict, a claim that has reignited debate over the scale of hostilities between the two nuclear-armed neighbors.

Addressing a business forum in Miami, Trump said he had read in some newspapers that seven or eight planes were downed during the war. “One newspaper reported that seven aircraft were shot down, another mentioned losses on one side — I won’t name them, most of them give fake news,” he remarked.

Trump went on to assert that, in reality, eight aircraft were downed during the conflict between the two nuclear-armed nations.

He once again took credit for mediating peace, claiming that the war between Pakistan and India was halted “with the help of tariffs.”

US has enough nuclear weapons to destroy world 150 times: Trump

by
US

WASHINGTON: U.S. President Donald Trump has claimed that Pakistan, along with several other countries, is conducting nuclear tests without informing the international community.

In an interview, Trump said these nations are carrying out tests “deep beneath the ground,” creating only slight tremors that make detection difficult.

The US president stated that America possesses enough nuclear weapons “to destroy the world 150 times,” but emphasized that the United States does not seek to use them. “We don’t want to use nuclear weapons, but we want to test and ensure their effectiveness,” he added.

Meanwhile, China rejected Trump’s remarks, calling them “baseless.” Beijing reiterated that as a responsible nuclear power, its nuclear strategy remains purely defensive in nature.

On the other hand, US President Donald Trump has expressed his desire to make America the “champion” of cryptocurrency.

In an interview, Trump said that crypto has become the world’s largest industry, and the United States currently leads all countries, including China, in this field. “I want America to be the champion in cryptocurrency,” he declared.

WASHINGTON: US President Donald Trump has announced plans to position the United States as a global leader in cryptocurrency innovation and dominance.

In an interview, Trump said that crypto has become the world’s largest industry, and the United States currently leads all countries, including China, in this field. “I want America to be the champion in cryptocurrency,” he declared.

The president noted that China is now rapidly entering the crypto sector but emphasized that he does not want Beijing to overtake the United States.

Criticizing former president Joe Biden, Trump said Biden initially opposed cryptocurrencies but changed his stance after realizing that crypto supporters were largely backing Trump. “Biden shifted his position just to win votes,” Trump remarked.

Trump claims he can easily end Pakistan–Afghanistan conflict

by

WASHINGTON: US President Donald Trump has said that ending the ongoing hostilities between Pakistan and Afghanistan would be “very easy” for him, asserting his ability to resolve conflicts and restore peace in the region.

Speaking to journalists, Trump referenced recent cross-border clashes and said he would consider brokering a ceasefire if needed, describing such an intervention as straightforward compared with other foreign-policy challenges he has tackled.

The US president also repeated remarks that Pakistan’s prime minister had told him he had helped avert a wider India–Pakistan conflict — a claim that Trump says saved “millions of lives.” Pakistani leaders have publicly praised US mediation at recent international meetings, comments that have drawn attention amid rising regional tensions.

Trump’s comments come as world leaders urge restraint and regional interlocutors explore avenues for de-escalation. Several governments and international organizations continue to call for immediate ceasefires and diplomatic talks to prevent further loss of life and wider instability.

It should be remembered that after dozens of deaths in Pakistan’s targeted operations on the hideouts of Taliban and Fitnah-ul-Khawarij in Afghanistan, a temporary ceasefire was decided for the next 48 hours from 6 pm on the request of Afghan Taliban.

A 48-hour ceasefire was initially held between Pakistan and the Afghan Taliban regime, but today it has been agreed to extend the ceasefire further.

In this regard, the international news agency said that the ceasefire between Pakistan and Afghanistan has been extended until the completion of negotiations in Doha.
