‘Disappointed with Putin…we pretty much have a deal': Trump on Putin, Gaza truce, and TikTok deal and tariffs
Trump on tariffs, Putin, Gaza truce, and TikTok deal aboard Air Force One US President Donald Trump expressed frustration and disappointment following a telephone conversation with Russian President Vladimir Putin on Thursday. 'I'm very disappointed with the conversation I had today with President Putin, because I don't think he's there, and I'm very disappointed,' Trump said. The president said the discussion left him disappointed due to a perceived lack of intent on Putin's part to end the ongoing war in Ukraine. 'I'm just saying I don't think he's looking to stop, and that's too bad'. Trump also hinted that he may finally be ready to toughen sanctions against Russia, having held off for the past six months while he tried to persuade Putin to end the war. "We talk about sanctions a lot," Trump said. "He understands that it may be coming." After speaking to Putin, Trump plans to speak to Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky. On the Middle East conflict, Trump addressed ongoing efforts to secure a ceasefire in Gaza. On the question of whether Hamas had accepted the latest ceasefire proposal, Trump said, 'We'll see what happens. We're going to know over the next 24 hours,' he said. On TikTok, Trump said discussions with China over a possible deal concerning the popular short-video app would begin early next week. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Acer TravelLite Laptop Your AI assistant at work acer Book Now Undo 'I think we're gonna start Monday or Tuesday… talking to China, perhaps President Xi or one of his representatives, but we pretty much have a deal,' Trump said.

Hamas Says It's Ready to ‘Immediately' Enter Ceasefire Talks
Hamas said it is ready to 'immediately' start negotiations with Israel on a proposal by US President Donald Trump for a 60-day ceasefire in Gaza. A deal on the framework would see Hamas return half of the 50 hostages it still holds and pursue mediated talks with Israel to end the war. The proposal, accepted by Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, will be one of the major topics during his visit to Washington where he will meet with Trump on Monday. 'The Hamas movement has completed its internal consultations and discussions with Palestinian factions and forces regarding the latest proposal put forward by the mediators,' the group said in a statement. 'The movement has submitted its response to the brothers mediators, characterized by a positive spirit.' An agreement would pause, if not end, a war between Iran-backed Hamas and Israel that's raged since October 2023, killing tens of thousands of Palestinians, devastating Gaza and destabilizing the wider Middle East. Trump said late Friday that 'there could be a Gaza deal next week,' and he was 'very optimistic but it changes day to day.' While Netanyahu's government weeks ago agreed to the US proposal, Washington and the other main mediators — Qatar and Egypt — couldn't get the sides to overcome key sticking points. Hamas had said any ceasefire must end the war and also refused Israel's demands to disarm and remove itself from power in Gaza. Israel has intensified military operations even as it agreed to talks. The army ordered tens of thousands of people to leave the outskirts of Gaza City since Tuesday and stepped up air strikes and incursions in the northern city, leading to an increase in the number of fatalities.
