"It's That Face, Those Lips": Trump's Praise For White House Secretary Sparks Row
"She's become a star," Trump said during a recent interview. "It's that face. It's that brain. It's those lips, the way they move. They move like she's a machine gun."
"She's a star. She's a great person, actually. But she's - I don't think anybody has ever had a better press secretary than Karoline. She's been amazing."
???????????? TRUMP ON KAROLINE LEAVITT: IT'S THE WAY SHE MOVES THOSE LIPS... SHE'S A STAR

The clip soon went viral.
A user commented on X, "Big Monica Lewinsky vibes." This supposedly refers to the infamous 1990s scandal involving former President Bill Clinton and then-White House intern Monica Lewinsky.
Another wrote, "Trump has probably used this same line on more than one occasion to attract underage girls for sexual gratification at his beauty pageants, the Mar-a-Lago Club spa, on Jeffrey Epstein's jet, etc..."
"He's a creepy old man. He doesn't even understand what he just said. Major yikes," someone said.
Someone wrote, "And people still doubt he's in those Epstein files."
Karoline Leavitt, 27, is Trump's fifth press secretary overall and the first of his second term in office. The exchange came after Leavitt commended the president during a White House press briefing on Thursday, saying he deserved international recognition. "President Trump has brokered, on average, about one peace deal or ceasefire per month during his six months in office," she said. "It's well past time that President Trump was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize."
Trump continues to face scrutiny over his past relationship with Epstein. Controversy has intensified after the FBI and Department of Justice declined to release further Epstein-related documents, with Trump's name reportedly redacted before publication.
Trump has defended the decision and denied any attempt to suppress information. He has also said that he distanced himself from Epstein years ago after the convicted sex offender allegedly tried to "poach" Mar-a-Lago staff, including Virginia Giuffre, one of Epstein's most prominent accusers.

NATO chief, leaders of UK, Germany, Finland took part in Zelensky-Trump call: Ukrainian source
NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte and the leaders of Britain, Germany and Finland took part in a phone call between Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky and US President Donald Trump, a senior Ukrainian source told AFP on Wednesday. Trump spoke with Zelensky after his special envoy Steve Witkoff travelled to Moscow for talks with President Vladimir Putin earlier in the day. The source told AFP that German Chancellor Friedrich Merz, British Prime Minister Keir Starmer and Finnish President Alexander Stubb participated in the call alongside Rutte. Putin held talks with Witkoff in Moscow on Wednesday, days before the White House's deadline for Russia to reach a peace deal with Ukraine or potentially face severe economic penalties that could also hit countries buying its oil. Trump has expressed increasing frustration with Putin over Russia's escalating strikes on civilian areas of Ukraine, intended to erode morale and public appetite for the war. The intensified attacks have occurred even as Trump has urged the Russian leader in recent months to relent. Overnight from Tuesday to Wednesday, Russian forces hit a recreational center in Ukraine's southern Zaporizhzhia region, killing two people and injuring 12, including two children, regional Gov. Ivan Fedorov said Wednesday.

Trump to meet Putin next week; Zelensky may join in three-way summit
President Donald Trump is expected to meet in person with Russian President Vladimir Putin as early as next week, according to a report by The New York Times on Wednesday (August 6). The development comes amid a renewed push for peace in the ongoing Russia-Ukraine conflict. Citing two people familiar with the matter, the report said Trump will first hold direct talks with Putin, followed by a separate meeting with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky. The plan was reportedly disclosed during a call with European leaders on Wednesday. The potential meetings mark a significant escalation in Trump's diplomatic engagement, following recent talks between his envoy Steve Witkoff and President Putin in Moscow—discussions both sides described as 'highly productive.' While no official confirmation has yet come from the White House, the meetings, if held, could represent the most direct US involvement in mediation efforts since the Ukraine war began in 2022. Trump has repeatedly claimed he could broker a peace deal within 24 hours of returning to office. With growing international pressure and a US-imposed sanctions deadline approaching, the proposed meetings could be pivotal in determining the next phase of the conflict. Earlier on Wednesday, Trump posted an update on Truth Social regarding the meeting between his envoy and Putin. 'Witkoff and President Putin had a highly productive meeting in Moscow. Great progress was made,' Trump wrote, signaling a positive tone from the US side. While details of the discussions remain undisclosed, the statements from both Kyiv and Washington suggest a potential shift in tone from Moscow amid mounting international pressure and threats of new sanctions from the United States. The coming week could prove decisive in the ongoing Russia-Ukraine war as US President Donald Trump's self-imposed deadline for the Kremlin to reach a peace deal draws near. The deadline, set for Friday, is backed by threats of sweeping new US sanctions, but so far shows little sign of shifting Moscow's stance. Trump's special envoy, Steve Witkoff, is expected to arrive in Moscow midweek, following stops in Israel and Gaza. His trip precedes Friday's deadline and is seen as a last-ditch effort to de-escalate the conflict. Trump confirmed the expected visit on Sunday, adding that Russian officials had requested to meet Witkoff. 'They've asked that he meet, so we'll see what happens,' Trump said. The Kremlin has welcomed the talks. Spokesman Dmitry Peskov called the upcoming meeting 'important, substantive and very useful.' Despite mounting pressure, there has been no major movement from the Kremlin. Trump, frustrated by the lack of progress, has threatened to impose new sanctions on Russia and introduce secondary tariffs targeting countries that buy Russian oil—most notably China and India. However, Trump himself cast doubt on whether such measures will succeed.

According to sources, discussions focused on trade, economic development, and cryptocurrency. However, regional security remained a key topic. President Trump commended General Munir's role in de-escalating the crisis between India and Pakistan, stating, 'The reason I had him here was I wanted to thank him for not going into the war and ending it…' STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD In turn, General Munir reportedly said Trump deserved to be nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize for 'averting nuclear war' between the two South Asian neighbors. Trump has been claiming credit for the ceasefire between India and Pakistan on May 10, ending the conflict after four days of intense cross-border drone and missile strikes. However, India has said that no foreign leader was involved in the ceasefire, and New Delhi and Islamabad reached an understanding following DGMO-level talks. With inputs from agencies
