Donald Trump Asked About Offering Putin Access To Alaska Rare Minerals
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. On Thursday, President Donald Trump was asked about a report that the U.S. is preparing to offer Russian President Vladimir Putin economic incentives to encourage him to end the war in Ukraine—including opening up access to natural resources off Alaska's coast. The president responded, in part, "We're going to see what happens with our meeting. We have a big meeting. It's going to be very important for Russia and very important for us. And important to us since we're trying to save a lot of lives." He continued, "As far as rare earth, that's very unimportant I'm trying to save lives." REPORTER: Are you prepared to offer Putin access to rare minerals to incentive him to end the war? TRUMP: We're gonna see what happens in that meeting. It's gonna be very important for Russia and very important for us. — Aaron Rupar (@atrupar) August 14, 2025 This is a breaking news story. Updates to follow.

AI not ready to replace in-home care workers
EXAM ROOM President Donald Trump's crackdown on migrants is putting pressure on the eldercare workforce by creating staffing gaps that Americans are unlikely to fill — and neither are robotic caregivers, which have a long way to go before filling the role, if ever. 'I actually think that there is a future where we use more and more hardware to take care of older adults in their home, but we're definitely not there yet,' said Seth Sternberg, CEO of Honor, a home care company and franchise network that uses technology to support its operations and care providers. 'That stuff has a long way to go, especially when you think about things like lifting and transferring into a bath.' The fallout: Sternberg said that although none of his direct staff have faced deportation, it's possible franchisees may have had issues. Still, he said he's heard other companies have lost staff because of Trump's stricter immigration policies. He said the increased scrutiny has also led to notices from federal officials requiring him to regularly confirm his workers are still authorized to work through E-verify, an online system that validates employment eligibility. 'Because what is happening is certain work authorizations are actually being removed,' he said. Immigrants represent 1 in 3 in-home care workers, according to the Kaiser Family Foundation. The stress of working during the pandemic led 400,000 nursing and assisted-living workers to quit. And while those numbers have rebounded, turnover in the profession is still high. Meanwhile: The aging population is growing. The number of Americans over age 65 is expected to grow from 61.2 million in 2024 to 82 million in 2050, comprising nearly a quarter of the U.S. population, according to the U.S. Census Bureau. 'Japan, much of northern Europe, New Zealand — they have all created visas that specifically target the eldercare workforce, because of the recognition that you've got this massively aging population,' said Sternberg. A population, he adds, that's outpacing the growth of younger generations. He'd like to see lawmakers tackle the issue in the same way other countries have — with a specialized visa for in-home care workers. 'A temporary visa that lets people who've already been in eldercare come in from countries that are stable, so that you don't have to worry about them filing for asylum,' he said. 'That's not a path to citizenship, but [it] lets people earn a good wage, where they send some of that money back home for X -period of time — that would help.' WELCOME TO FUTURE PULSE This is where we explore the ideas and innovators shaping health care. Firefighters on the frontline of the 2024 wildfires in Northern California, likely suffered lung damage, but they may also have harmed their hearts. A new study using an Apple Watch to detect changes in resting heart rate found that firefighters showed an increase of 1.4 beats per minute for every 10 micrograms per cubic meter in particulate matter they were exposed to.

FORWARD THINKING The National Association for Community Health Centers is turning to the tech industry to help it process the Trump administration's upcoming changes to Medicaid enrollment. 'My hope is developers realize that if they want to build a product for America, they have to include … those who are on Medicaid or uninsured or on Medicare, or a lot of commercial insured folks who are low-income,' Dr. Kyu Rhee, president and CEO of NACHC, told Ruth. A tiger team: NACHC is partnering with the Coalition for Health AI, a member-based organization working to establish industrywide best practices for artificial intelligence adoption in health care. NACHC will co-lead a CHAI-organized tiger team to work with members to develop AI tools that streamline Medicaid enrollment under the requirements in the One Big Beautiful Bill Act. Currently, much of Medicaid enrollment is conducted with pen, paper and fax, Rhee said. Higher costs on the way: In 2024, NACHC members provided care to more than 16 million Medicaid patients. Now, because of changing Medicaid requirements, community health centers are poised to face significant financial challenges. The organization estimates that 4 million community health center patients will lose coverage, resulting in a $7 billion increase in annual uncompensated care costs. To address those challenges, the tiger team charged with developing AI solutions will comprise top payers, technology startups and five to 10 leaders from community health centers, said Dr. Brian Anderson, CEO of CHAI. U.S. government officials will also join as federal liaisons, though he declined to provide names. The team will include 150 entities in all. AI for all: The NACHC-CHAI partnership extends beyond immediate Medicaid concerns: They'll work to ensure that smaller health centers can adopt the same AI capabilities as larger health systems with bigger budgets. NACHC will develop a playbook of best practices for community health centers that want to adopt AI tools. Additionally, NACHC will refer members to specific apps and negotiate group purchasing agreements for certain tools, all the while seeking to reduce AI costs. 'If you're at the table with Microsoft and Google and these tech — big tech and small tech companies — and yes, Mayo Clinic is there,' said Rhee. 'Maybe they'll say, 'We'll use our buying power to help you with access to this ambient AI or these other solutions.'' He hopes that once tech companies recognize that millions of Americans need this technology, they'll commit to making it accessible — while at the same time addressing the cost issue. 'We need this at an affordable cost,' said Rhee. 'My hope is we'll be able to influence that and reduce the costs.'
