Russian President Vladimir Putin and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky will meet one-on-one within two weeks to discuss an end to the war in Ukraine, according to German Chancellor Friedrich Merz. Talking with reporters after meeting with President Donald Trump, Zelensky, and other European leaders at the White House, Merz said that the leaders of Russia and Ukraine would meet face-to-face soon, according to The Telegraph. Trump told Zelensky Monday that the U.S. president would join in peace talks between the two powers “if you want me there.” Merz took a shot at Putin, telling reporters that the Russian leader might not have the “courage” to face Zelensky one-on-one. Putin reportedly told Trump during a phone call on Monday that he is ready to meet Zelensky. In a post on Truth Social, Trump said that he would join in a meeting with Putin and Zelensky after the two’s one-on-one meeting. “Everyone is very happy about the possibility of PEACE for Russia/Ukraine. At the conclusion of the meetings, I called President Putin, and began the arrangements for a meeting, at a location to be determined, between President Putin and President Zelenskyy. After that meeting takes place, we will have a Trilat, which would be the two Presidents, plus myself,” said Trump. “[T]his was a very good, early step for a War that has been going on for almost four years,” he added.

Russia rejected proposals to put a NATO peacekeeping force in Ukraine. “We confirm the position that has been voiced more than once about our categorical rejection of any scenarios involving the appearance of Ukraine military contingent with the participation of NATO countries (which is fraught with an uncontrolled escalation of the conflict with unpredictable consequences),” the Russian foreign ministry said in a statement. The topic of land swaps for peace has also been raised, including giving up land that is currently held by Ukraine in the Donbas. Merz pushed back forcefully against the suggestion after talks on Monday concluded. “The Russian demand that Kyiv give up the free parts of Donbas corresponds, to put it bluntly, to a proposal for the United States to have to give up Florida,” Merz said.

A pair of contestants on Israel’s version of the competition dance show “Dancing With the Stars” (“Rokdim Im Kokhavim”) is going viral for their Melania and Donald Trump-themed dance routine. Fans were delighted by internet personality Taylor Malkov and professional dancer Haim Pershtein’s star spangled performance last week, which opened with “The Star Spangled Banner” followed by the Trump favorite “Y.M.C.A.” by Village People. A video clip of the pair dancing has 2.3 million views on X and is quickly racking up views across social media platforms. “It’s astonishing what six months of sane, strong leadership can do in America. This was unimaginable last year. The Golden Era indeed,” one of the top comments says. “We’re definitely heading in the right direction,” another commenter agreed. “This is a good vibe, America is once again gaining respect around the world,” echoed a third. “Oh my… the heads of the Democrat communist party are going to explode over this one. Congratulations Israel! Job well done,” said another.

It was funny, original, and so well-done that you couldn’t tell who was the non-professional dancer. It put a smile on my face.” President Trump is widely considered the most supportive American president Israel has ever known thanks to him moving the American Embassy to Jerusalem, recognizing Israeli sovereignty of the Golan Heights, and brokering the historic Abraham Accords, as The Daily Wire previously reported. One week before the election last November, a poll found that 66% of Israelis supported Trump while just 17% of them were hoping Kamala Harris won. Months before the election, Trump also spoke about the October 7 massacre, saying, “Weak leadership in the United States allowed this to happen, and it should never have happened.” “Never again,” Trump promised at the time.

WASHINGTON (Reuters) -Three U.S. Aegis guided-missile destroyers will arrive off the coast of Venezuela in the next 36 hours as part of an effort to address threats from Latin American drug cartels, two sources briefed on the matter said on Monday. President Donald Trump has wanted to use the military to go after Latin American drug gangs that have been designated as global terrorist organizations. The sources said the ships are the USS Gravely, USS Jason Dunham, and the USS Sampson. A separate U.S. official told Reuters that in total, about 4,000 sailors and Marines are expected to be committed to the Trump administration’s efforts in the southern Caribbean region. That U.S. official, who was speaking on the condition of anonymity, said the additional commitment of military assets in the broader region would include several P-8 spy planes, warships, and at least one attack submarine. The official said the process would be ongoing for several months and the plan was for them to operate in international airspace and international waters.

Venezuela’s communications ministry did not immediately respond to a request for comment. Without referring to the warships, Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro said on Monday in an address that Venezuela will “defend our seas, our skies and our lands.” He alluded to what he called “the outlandish, bizarre threat of a declining empire.” Trump has made cracking down on drug cartels a central goal of his administration as part of a wider effort to limit migration and secure the U.S. southern border. The Trump administration in recent months has already deployed at least two warships to help in border security efforts and drug trafficking. The Trump administration designated Mexico’s Sinaloa Cartel and other drug gangs, as well as Venezuelan criminal group Tren de Aragua, as global terrorist organizations in February, as it stepped up immigration enforcement against alleged gang members. The U.S. military has already been increasing its airborne surveillance of Mexican drug cartels to collect intelligence to determine how to best counter their activities.
