This week's sit-down will be Witkoff's second meeting with Putin. He also met with the Russian leader in February when he flew to Moscow to secure the release of American hostage Mark Fogel. So it seems like the Trump administration may be positioning Witkoff as its primary go-between with Putin, while Rubio and his team negotiate directly with Ukraine.

One last thing on that front, Trump slammed Russia on Friday for absolutely pounding Ukraine on the battlefield amid negotiations, saying he was considering imposing sanctions on Russia until a peace deal is reached. Lots of moving parts here.

Ontario Premier Doug Ford announced the province is suspending its 25% surcharge on electricity exports to New York, Michigan, and Minnesota. The move follows Trump hitting Canada with another 25% tariff on steel and aluminum in retaliation.

Ford says he had a productive conversation with Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick and will travel to Washington Thursday to discuss a renewed USMCA trade deal. President Trump also demanded the removal of Canada's 250 to 390 percent tariff on American dairy and warned he would impose major auto tariffs on April 2nd if changes weren't made.

The move from Trump also follows Canada's new prime minister, Mark Carney, taking several shots at the president's tariffs, calling them unjustified. White House Press Secretary Caroline Leavitt gave the following response to that today.

Are you aware that we are sending $40 million a week to the Taliban? Yes, sir. Can you name other instances of foreign aid going to terrorist organizations?

Yeah, immigration authorities arrived at Khalil's university-owned apartment on Saturday and took him into custody. Khalil's attorney, Amy Greer, said that she spoke with one of the arresting agents, and the agent said Khalil's green card has been revoked and he will be deported.

The legal fight over Khalil's arrest has already started, and a federal judge yesterday blocked the Trump administration from deporting him.

So President Trump signed an executive order to crack down on foreign nationals agitating for terrorist groups while in the U.S. The State Department says Khalil supported terrorists, namely Hamas, and led protests that occupied and damaged campus buildings and caused major disruptions to campus. Here's Khalil leading a protest last year.

Khalil's supporters say that this is an unjustified crackdown on Khalil's freedom of expression. Technically, as a foreign national, Khalil may not have the full freedoms that a citizen has, or at least that's the legal argument behind the deportation. That question will likely go to the courts.
