In the Oval Office yesterday, Trump brushed past that comment and said he and Zelensky are ready to work together. The exact terms of the mineral rights agreement haven't been released, but it will mark a clear shift for the countries, effectively turning their alliance into a business relationship.

We're going to be actually in there, digging our hearts out. Ukraine will share some of the revenue from its valuable mineral resources. Trump has said that's payback for the military support the U.S. has already provided. Zelensky's made clear he wants a future guarantee of U.S. protection. But a draft of the deal the Times reviewed only vaguely referenced that, with no specific commitment.

President Trump announced his plan for tariffs on Canada and Mexico is back on starting next week. The 25 percent surcharges have the potential to upend supply chains and drive up prices, especially for cars and some food products.

Trump first announced the tariffs last month, then almost immediately paused them, saying he was giving the country's time to meet his demands for border security, including stopping the flow of fentanyl into the U.S.

That has Canada unsure of how to appease the president, since very little fentanyl actually comes across the northern border. U.S. authorities only seized about 40 pounds of the drug coming in from Canada last year, compared to 500 times that amount from Mexico. On Mexico's part, it's been moving troops to the border and escalating its raids on drug labs.

And yesterday, Mexican authorities transferred 29 top cartel members into American custody — Turning over people U.S. authorities had been trying to prosecute for decades. The first phase of the ceasefire between Hamas and Israel is set to expire tomorrow night. And what comes next is a big question mark.

Phase one of the agreement was designed to pause the fighting and build momentum toward a more long-lasting deal. But Israel and Hamas are still as far apart as they've ever been on the crucial issues that need to be resolved, like if Hamas will agree to disband its forces and if Israel will agree to end the war completely.
