Owner of ‘Trump Burger' restaurant in Texas faces deportation after ICE arrest
The owner of a US President Donald Trump themed hamburger restaurant chain in Texas is facing deportation after the US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) detained him over allegations that he overstayed on his visa. Roland Mehrez Beainy, 28, who co-owns the chain of Trump Burger restaurants is facing ouster from the United States since he entered America as 'a non-immigrant visitor' from Lebanon in 2019 and should have left by February 12, 2024, an ICE spokesperson told The Guardian. The Lebanese national was arrested on May 16, five years after he had started the Trump Burger chain, by ICE personnel and was placed under immigration proceedings. The 28-year-old entrepreneur was released on bond on June 13 pending court proceedings. 'Under the current administration, ICE is committed to restore integrity to our nation's immigration system by holding all individuals accountable who illegally enter the country or overstay the terms of their admission,' a statement by the agency said. According to the Department of Homeland Security and ICE, Beainy allegedly attempted to get a legal immigration status via a 'sham' marriage. The petition to receive a legal immigration status was revoked by the US Citizenship and Immigration Services after no evidence of cohabitation was found, The Independent reported. Even though Beainy had a restaurant chain dedicated to President Trump, the DHS said enforcement applies 'regardless of what restaurant you own or political beliefs you might have'. Trump won his second tenure in November 2024 and started fulfilling his campaign promises in January, including a crackdown on illegal immigrants and mass deportations.

Russia and Ukraine hold fast to their demands ahead of planned Putin-Trump summit
The threats, pressure and ultimatums have come and gone, but Russian President Vladimir Putin has maintained Moscow's uncompromising demands in the war in Ukraine, raising fears he could use a planned summit with US President Donald Trump in Alaska to coerce Kyiv into accepting an unfavorable deal. The maximalist demands reflect Putin's determination to reach the goals he set when he launched the full-scale invasion of Ukraine on Feb. 24, 2022. Putin sees a possible meeting with Trump as a chance to negotiate a broad deal that would not only cement Russia's territorial gains but also keep Ukraine from joining NATO and hosting any Western troops, allowing Moscow to gradually pull the country back into its orbit. The Kremlin leader believes time is on his side as the exhausted and outgunned Ukrainian forces are struggling to stem Russian advances in many sectors of the over 1,000-kilometer (over 600-mile) front line while swarms of Russian missiles and drones batter Ukrainian cities. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy also has stood firm in his positions, agreeing to a ceasefire proposed by Trump while reaffirming the country's refusal to abandon seeking NATO membership and rejecting acknowledgment of Russia's annexation of any of its regions. A look at Russian and Ukrainian visions of a peace deal and how a Putin-Trump summit could evolve: Russia's position In a memorandum presented at talks in Istanbul in June, Russia offered Ukraine two options for establishing a 30-day ceasefire. One demanded Ukraine withdraw its forces from Donetsk, Luhansk, Zaporizhzhia and Kherson — the four regions Moscow illegally annexed in September 2022 but never fully captured. As an alternate condition for a ceasefire, Russia made a 'package proposal' for Ukraine to halt mobilization efforts, freeze Western arms deliveries and ban any third-country forces on its soil. Moscow also suggested Ukraine end martial law and hold elections, after which the countries could sign a comprehensive peace treaty. Once there's a truce, Moscow wants a deal to include the 'international legal recognition' of its annexations of Ukraine's Crimean Peninsula in 2014 and the four regions in 2022. Russia says a peace treaty should have Ukraine declare its neutral status between Russia and the West, abandon its bid to join NATO, limit the size of its armed forces and recognize Russian as an official language on par with Ukrainian -– conditions reflecting Putin's earliest goals. It also demands Ukraine ban the 'glorification and propaganda of Nazism and neo-Nazism' and dissolve nationalist groups. Since the war began, Putin has falsely alleged that neo-Nazi groups were shaping Ukrainian politics under Zelenskyy, who is Jewish. They were fiercely dismissed by Kyiv and its Western allies. In Russia's view, a comprehensive peace treaty should see both countries lift all sanctions and restrictions, abandon any claims to compensation for wartime damage, resume trade and communications, and reestablish diplomatic ties. Asked Thursday whether Moscow has signaled any willingness to compromise to make a meeting with Trump possible, Putin's foreign affairs adviser Yuri Ushakov responded that there haven't been any shifts in the Russian position.

In a Trump-Putin summit, Ukraine fears losing say over its future
For nearly three years of the war in Ukraine, Washington's rallying cry in backing a fight against a Russian invasion was "no negotiations about Ukraine without Ukraine." But when President Donald Trump meets President Vladimir Putin of Russia in Alaska on Friday, the Ukrainians will not be there, barring any last-minute invitation. And Kyiv's swift rejection of Trump's declaration to reporters that he is already negotiating with the Russian leadership over what he vaguely called "land swaps," with no mention of the security guarantees or arms supplies for Ukraine, underscores the enormous risks for the Ukrainians -- and the political perils for Trump. Productivity Tool Zero to Hero in Microsoft Excel: Complete Excel guide By Metla Sudha Sekhar View Program Finance Introduction to Technical Analysis & Candlestick Theory By Dinesh Nagpal View Program Finance Financial Literacy i e Lets Crack the Billionaire Code By CA Rahul Gupta View Program Digital Marketing Digital Marketing Masterclass by Neil Patel By Neil Patel View Program Finance Technical Analysis Demystified- A Complete Guide to Trading By Kunal Patel View Program Productivity Tool Excel Essentials to Expert: Your Complete Guide By Study at home View Program Artificial Intelligence AI For Business Professionals Batch 2 By Ansh Mehra View Program Ukraine's fear for these past six months has been that Trump's image of a "peace accord" is a deal struck directly between him and Putin -- much as Franklin Roosevelt, Josef Stalin and Winston Churchill divided up Europe at the Yalta conference in 1945. That meeting has become synonymous with historical debates over what can go wrong when great powers carve up the world, smaller powers suffer the consequences and free people find themselves cast under authoritarian rule. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Undo Zelenskyy himself invited such comparisons in a speech to his people hours after Trump raised the specter of deciding Ukraine's fate in a one-on-one meeting in Alaska, territory that was once part of the Russian empire. (While Putin has made clear that he regards Ukraine as rightful Russian territory dating back to the days of Peter the Great, the Russian leader has not called for the reversal of the $7.2 million sale of Alaska to the United States in 1867, during a period of financial distress for the empire.) "Ukrainians will not give their land to the occupier," Zelenskyy said, noting that the Ukrainian constitution prohibits such a deal. Live Events Then, in what sounded like a direct warning to Trump, he added: "Any solutions that are against us, any solutions that are without Ukraine, are simultaneously solutions against peace. They will not bring anything. These are dead solutions." Zelenskyy is the one with the most on the line in the summit. After his bitter Oval Office encounter with Trump in February, which ended in Trump's declaration that "you don't have the cards right now," he has every reason to fear Trump is at best an unreliable partner. At worst, Trump is susceptible to being flattered and played by Putin, for whom he has often expressed admiration. But there are also considerable political risks for Trump. Those would be especially acute if he is viewed as forcing millions of Ukrainians into territorial concessions, with few compensating guarantees that Putin would not, after taking a breather of a few years, seize the rest of the country. "President Trump still seems to be going into this conversation as if Putin is negotiating as a partner or friend," said Tressa Guenov, the director for programs and operations at the Scowcroft Center for Strategy and Security at the Atlantic Council . "That will continue to make these discussions difficult if Ukraine isn't involved." Trump's personal envoy, Steve Witkoff, raised the possibility of a meeting of Trump, Zelenskyy and Putin, and in the past week, it looked like that might be a precondition for the session in Alaska. But Trump waved away the notion when asked about it by reporters on Friday. A senior administration official said on Saturday that the president remained open to a trilateral meeting with Putin and Zelenskyy, but that the meeting between Trump and Putin was set to go ahead as scheduled. Yet the gap in how Trump approaches these negotiations and how the United States' allies in Europe approach them became all the more vivid on Saturday. After a meeting of European national security advisers and Ukrainian officials with Vice President JD Vance, who is on a visit to Britain, leaders of the European Union's executive branch and nations including France, Britain, Italy and Germany called in a statement for "active diplomacy, support to Ukraine and pressure on the Russian Federation to end their illegal war." They added that any agreement needed to include "robust and credible security guarantees that enable Ukraine to effectively defend its sovereignty and territorial integrity," phrases Trump has avoided. "The path to peace in Ukraine cannot be decided without Ukraine," the leaders said. Trump has long sought a direct meeting with Putin, declaring publicly that a problem like Ukraine could only be resolved with a meeting between the two top leaders. He also said last week that he expects to see President Xi Jinping of China before the end of the year. And he seems reluctant to impose more tariffs or sanctions ahead of those meetings. In fact, his deadline for Putin to declare a ceasefire or face crushing "secondary sanctions" melted away on Friday without a mention from Trump, other than that people should wait for his meeting with Putin. The fact that Trump is even meeting with Putin represents a small victory for the Russian president, Guenov said. "Trump still has given Putin the benefit of the doubt, and that dynamic is one Putin will attempt to exploit even beyond this meeting," she added. While Trump has insisted that an understanding between himself and the Russian president is crucial to a broader peace, Putin, Guenov said, would certainly welcome any land concessions Trump is willing to grant. Already the president has signaled that is where these talks are headed. Trump on Friday suggested that a peace deal between the two countries could include "some swapping of territories," signaling that the United States may join Russia in trying to compel Ukraine to permanently cede some of its land -- the suggestion flatly rejected by Zelenskyy. "We're going to get some back, and we're going to get some switched," said Trump, leaving unclear who the "we" in that statement was. "There'll be some swapping of territories to the betterment of both, but we'll be talking about that either later, or tomorrow." Russian officials have demanded that Ukraine cede the four regions that Moscow claimed to have "annexed" from Ukraine in late 2022, even as some of that land remains under Ukrainian control. And Russia is seeking a formal declaration that the Crimean Peninsula is once again its territory. (Yalta, where the meeting of three great powers was held 80 years ago, is a resort city on the southern coast of Crimea.) Until late last week, it appeared likely that the meeting between Trump and Putin would be held on the traditional neutral grounds of the old Cold War, perhaps in Geneva or Vienna. (President Joe Biden saw Putin in Geneva in June 2021, eight months before the Ukraine invasion, for what turned out to be the only face-to-face meeting of their presidencies.) Putin's willingness to venture into American territory was striking, not least because his arrival in the United States will signal the end of his political and legal isolation from the country. In the past few months, Trump has terminated efforts at the Justice Department and the State Department to collect evidence of war crimes committed by Russia during its invasion of Ukraine. But inviting Putin to meet in the United States seemed to extinguish any threat that the United States would provide evidence to the prosecution. "It's bewildering how we could bring in somebody the International Criminal Court has classified as a war criminal," said Jeffrey Sonnenfeld, the president of the Yale Chief Executive Leadership Institute, who has tracked many of the Russian violations. But he emphasized that Putin is entering the meeting with Trump in an extraordinarily weak position economically, and that it would benefit U.S. negotiators to realize how few cards Russia holds. "The mystical illusion of power that Putin creates is as real as the Wizard of Oz," Sonnenfeld said. "The Russian economy has been imploding. Trump doesn't seem to realize that." Sonnenfeld cautioned Trump against any deal in which Ukraine would give up rights to the Donbas region, particularly given the agreement that the Trump administration negotiated for the U.S. to share in future revenues from Ukraine's mineral reserves through a joint investment fund. "Giving up the Donbas would be disastrous," he said. "That is where a lot of these valuable minerals are." This article originally appeared in The New York Times.
