Trump shares heartwarming exchange with Ukrainian journalist whose husband is a soldier: ‘I wish you a lot of luck'
President Trump shared a compassionate exchange Wednesday with a Ukrainian journalist who said her husband was a soldier — as she asked whether the US would supply the embattled country with Patriot missiles in its war against Moscow. At a press conference at the end of the NATO Summit in The Hague, BBC Ukraine correspondent Myroslava Petsa asked the president 'whether or not the US is ready to sell anti-air missile systems to Ukraine.' 'We know that Russia has been pounding Ukraine really heavily right now,' she added. Advertisement BBC Ukraine correspondent Myroslava Petsa revealed to President Trump that her husband is a Ukraine soldier. Reuters Video Before addressing her question, Trump asked Petsa: 'Are you living, yourself, now in Ukraine?' 'My husband is there,' she said. 'And me with the kids, I'm in Warsaw [Poland], actually. Because he wanted me to.' Advertisement 'Is your husband a soldier?' Trump asked, to which Petsa answered: 'He is.' 'He's there now?' the president asked again, with Petsa responding affirmatively. A visibly moved Trump responded, 'Wow, that's rough stuff, right? That's tough.' Trump then went on to affirm that Kyiv wants to buy the weapons from the US — and pledged that 'we're going to see if we can make some available.' Advertisement President Trump responded 'Wow, that's rough stuff, right? That's tough.' Reuters Video 'You know, they're very hard to get. We need them too,' the president continued. 'We were supplying them to Israel, and they're very effective — 100% effective. Hard to believe how effective. And they do want that more than any other thing, as you probably know.' 'That's a very good question, and I wish you a lot of luck,' Trump told Petsa. 'I mean, I can see it's very upsetting to you. 'Say hello to your husband, OK? Thank you,' the president added before taking more questions. Advertisement Trump has been growing impatient with Putin, lashing out in response to some of Russia's most brutal attacks on Ukraine — such as a barrage of 300 drone and missile attacks last month, which prompted the president to rip the Russian leader as 'crazy.' Still, the administration has been reticent about ratcheting up sanctions on Russia, despite a growing push from Congress to do so.

Democrats Looked for Lessons in New York City's Mayoral Upset
Zohran Mamdani, a 33-year-old democratic socialist who only recently emerged from obscurity, is now all but certain to be the Democratic mayoral nominee to lead the nation's largest city. He appears to have cruised to a surprisingly comfortable victory by energizing young and progressive New Yorkers with promises to address affordability. The election results are not yet final, but Mamdani's main rival, former Gov. Andrew Cuomo, conceded. Now, attention has begun to turn to November's general election and to the impact a far-left Democratic mayoral nominee could have on midterm races across the country. In an interview today with my colleague Emma Fitzsimmons, Mamdani said he co-opted some of the talking points that President Trump used to secure re-election, including a focus on grocery prices. Here are five things to know about Mamdani. Top New York Democrats like Senator Chuck Schumer and Representative Hakeem Jeffries congratulated Mamdani, but stopped short of outright endorsements. Other party leaders urged Cuomo to end his campaign rather than running as a third-party candidate in the general election. Nationally, some party members pushed back against Mamdani's democratic socialism and harsh criticism of Israel. He vowed to work to win over Jewish and Black voters who supported Cuomo, and he received an endorsement from Representative Jerrold Nadler, one of the city's most prominent Jewish leaders. Republicans sought to use Mamdani's ascent to bludgeon national Democrats as extreme leftists. In a post on Truth Social, Trump said Mamdani's voice was 'grating' and called him a 'Communist Lunatic.' Want all of The Times? Subscribe.

Trump Sets US-Iran Talks for Next Week as He Views War ‘Over'
Good morning. US and Iran are set to meet next week as Trump calls war 'over.' Sneaker makers are innovating after a tough run in 2025. Ferrari has the wind at its back with a move into sailing. Listen to the day's top stories. In Donald Trump's view, the war between Israel and Iran is 'over' —except for the part where he also warned that new fighting 'could maybe start soon.' The US and Iran will be meeting next week but the president cast doubt on the need for a diplomatic agreement on Tehran's nuclear program, citing the damage that American bombing had done to key sites. At the NATO summit in The Hague, Trump achieved one of his main objectives: getting member nations to agree to increase defense spending to 5% of their gross domestic products. But it was no one-sided victory: The European allies and Secretary General Mark Rutte used royal pomp and flattery on the president to ensure the US renewed its commitments to collective defense. Trump threatened Spain with a doubling of tariffs after it balked at the higher military spending.
