In response to those attacks this weekend, President Trump offered arguably his strongest condemnation of Putin to date. Here he is outside Air Force One on Saturday.

And later on social media, the president appeared to make a veiled threat against Putin, writing, quote, I've always said that he wants all of Ukraine, not just a piece of it. And maybe that's proving to be right. But if he does, it will lead to the downfall of Russia.

It certainly appears that way. With Russia now launching heavier attacks than ever against Ukraine, Trump's cordial tone with Putin is out the window. And it's worth noting this new anti-Putin rhetoric has not exactly led to friendlier relations between Trump and Zelensky. For example, over the weekend, he said that, quote, Zelensky is doing his country no favors by talking the way he does.

Everything out of his mouth causes problems. So while Trump could launch retaliatory sanctions against Moscow, there is a real chance here that he steps back and stays out of all this. Regardless, he's under a lot of pressure to bring an end to this conflict, given his campaign promise to end the war shortly.

So a quick refresher, President Trump slapped 20% tariffs on the European Union during his liberation day. He later slashed them down to 10% for 90 days to allow time for a long-term deal to be reached. But on Friday, he accused the Europeans of being, quote, difficult to deal with, saying, quote, discussions are going nowhere.

So he in turn threatened a 50% tariff on the EU that would kick in June 1st. That seemingly got their attention as European Union Commission President Ursula von der Leyen called the White House over the weekend to say, quote, Europe is ready to advance talks swiftly and decisively.

And as a result of that new willingness to strike an apparent deal, Trump agreed to pause his tariff hike on the EU until July 9th. So an agreement could be reached.

Absolutely.

Absolutely.

Yeah, on Wednesday night, the American Jewish Committee was hosting a celebration at the Capitol Jewish Museum just blocks away from the U.S. Capitol. As the event ended, a lone gunman was waiting. He opened fire, killing 26-year-old Sarah Milgram and 30-year-old Yaron Lashinsky, both of whom worked at the Israeli embassy and were also in a relationship.

According to family members, Yaron had purchased an engagement ring last week. He planned to propose to Sarah next week on a trip to Jerusalem. Shortly after opening fire at the gunman, 30-year-old Elias Rodriguez entered the museum and told attendees to call the police. Footage taken at the scene shows him holding up a red keffiyeh, and while he was handcuffed, he chanted two words.
