Chapter 4: How are international relations affected by the Ukraine war?
Late Sunday evening, President Zelensky telling reporters before departing London, quote, an agreement to end the war is still very, very far away, and no one has started all these steps yet. The first step to ending the war was supposed to come in the form of an economic agreement signed by the U.S. and Ukraine.
That deal blew up last Friday when a friendly pre-signing sit-down turned into a clash between Mr. Zelensky and Mr. Trump, as well as Vice President J.D. Vance. President Trump posting on Truth Social, quote, This is the worst statement that could have been made by Zelensky, and America will not put up with it for much longer, a harbinger of what was to come later in the day.
Late Monday, the president announcing a pause to military aid for Ukraine. Bloomberg citing a senior Defense Department official in reporting this pause will remain in effect until Ukrainian leaders demonstrate a good faith commitment to peace. Mr. Trump says Mr. Zelensky does not want peace, not as long as he has America's backing.
Mr. Trump also noting European leaders told Zelensky peace cannot be achieved without U.S. support. Russian President Vladimir Putin has yet to publicly comment on the fallout from the Oval Office meeting. Several Russian officials expressing enthusiasm for the deterioration in relations.
A Kremlin spokesperson saying the rapidly changing foreign policy messaging of the Trump administration, quote, largely aligns with our vision. Democrats remain highly critical of the White House.
The president of the United States is a coward. who is Vladimir Putin's puppet.
It was so embarrassing to me as an American. I just want to say that publicly. This is not the way our leaders have ever behaved. This was a setup for the cameras. It was a play to his base.
But above all, it was a plate of Vladimir Putin. Despite Democrat criticism and Kremlin celebrations, UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer acting as the intermediary in the hopes of restoring U.S.-Ukrainian relations, telling the House of Commons on Monday, President Trump is serious about making peace.

Chapter 5: What criticism is Trump facing regarding his foreign policy?
We must strengthen our relationship with America. This week has shown with total clarity that that the U.S. is vital in securing the peace we all want to see in Ukraine. So I welcome the opportunity for a new economic deal with the U.S., confirmed by the President last week.
I also welcome the president's continued commitment to that peace, which nobody in this House should doubt for a second is sincere.
In the lead up to President Trump's pause on funding late last night, National Security Advisor Mike Walz on Fox News warned the Ukrainians U.S. aid is not unconditional.
Success looks like President Zelensky sitting down and talking the terms of peace, talking about what he needs to see, Ukraine needs to see to get to a partial ceasefire, a permanent ceasefire, and an end to this war. But here's the problem. Time is not on his side. Time is not on the side of just forever continuing this conflict. The American people's patience is not unlimited.
Their wallets are not unlimited, and our stockpiles and munitions are not unlimited, that we need for all kinds of contingencies around the world.
Yesterday afternoon, President Trump was asked if the minerals deal could be revived.
Well, I'll let you know. We're making a speech. You probably heard about it tomorrow night, so I'll let you know tomorrow night. But no, I don't think so. I think I want to see it end fast. I don't want to see this go on for years and years. Now, President Zelensky supposedly said, made a statement today in AP. I'm not a big fan of AP, so maybe it was an incorrect statement.
But he said he thinks the war is going to go on for a long time. And he better not be right about that.
The president mentioning his team was working on next steps, describing a fluid situation. Mr. Trump told reporters he wants the killing to stop, citing his intelligence briefings showing thousands of young men, Ukrainian and Russian, are being killed each week. President Trump says he wants to see the war ended on a humanitarian basis.

Chapter 6: How are drug-related issues influencing U.S. tariffs?
Tomorrow tariffs 25% on Canada and 25% on Mexico, and that'll start tomorrow. So they're going to have to have a tariff. So what they have to do is build their car plants, frankly, and other things in the United States, in which case they have no tariffs. And it's going to be very costly for people to take advantage of this country.
They can't come in and steal our money and steal our jobs and take our factories and take our businesses and expect not to be punished. And they're being punished by tariffs.
The legal basis for the tariffs is a national emergency relating to drugs flowing into the U.S. Illegal border crossings are down approximately 94% since last year, according to Border Patrol Chief Mike Banks. Last week, President Trump telling reporters that was largely due to U.S. actions. One week ago, authorities in San Diego arrested an individual in possession of 720,000 fentanyl pills.
That same day, Customs and Border Protection seized more than $872,000 worth of cocaine from a vehicle entering the country near Laredo, Texas. In an effort to comply with President Trump's demands, the Mexican government extradited 29 drug bosses to United States prisons for trial last week, including Rafael Caro Quintero, who was wanted for killing a DEA agent in 1985.
The New York Times reporting on the effect of the crackdown on cartel members, writing, One cartel leader says he's trying to figure out how to protect his family in case the American military strikes inside Mexico. Another saying he's already gone into hiding, rarely leaving his home.
The New York Times reporting several cartel operatives said for the first time in years, they genuinely feared arrest or death at the hands of authorities. U.S. officials still not yet satisfied. The Wall Street Journal reporting Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth warned Mexican officials if they, quote, did not deal with the collusion between their country's government and drug cartels, the U.S.
military was prepared to take unilateral action. Mr. Hegseth telling Fox News, nothing is off the table.
My message has been from the beginning, we're taking nothing off the table, nothing. We will do whatever it takes to secure the American homeland, to maintain our sovereignty and protect the American people.
Does that mean you're ruling out potential strikes inside of Mexico on fentanyl labs? We know they exist and we know where they exist.
