What recent international agreements has President Trump signed?
President Trump and officials from several nations have signed the charter of Trump's Board of Peace today. Trump unveiled the document at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland. But Britain's foreign secretary, Yvette Cooper, says her country is not signing on.
What concerns did Britain's foreign secretary express about Trump's Board of Peace?
Willem Marks reports. Cooper told BBC News that Britain would not be, quote, one of the signatories.
What updates were given about the meeting between Trump and Zelensky?
This is about a legal treaty that raises much broader issues, Cooper said, before expressing concerns that Trump had invited Russian President Vladimir Putin to be, quote, part of something which is talking about peace. The board was initially designated as a mechanism to oversee the second phase of the US-brokered Gaza ceasefire, as well as reconstruction efforts inside the Palestinian territory. But recent details indicate it would be more of a standing global body chaired by Trump, with France's Emmanuel Macron warning it could replace the United Nations and German officials also voicing caution about the idea. For NPR News, I'm Willem Marx in Davos, Switzerland.

Zelensky said the whole country, the whole world, is waiting to see if there's a chance to end this war. Trump envoy Steve Witkoff told the panel... that the plan is in its final stages, though Moscow must still approve it. It's not clear yet if Trump and Zelensky will make public remarks together.

The House Oversight Committee has approved a resolution to hold former President Bill Clinton and former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton in contempt of Congress. The NPR's Claudia Grisales reports the bipartisan rebuke comes after the couple defied a congressional subpoena tied to Jeffrey Epstein.
House Oversight Committee Republicans said the panel gave the Clintons plenty of time to testify, but some Democrats argued GOP members were rushing to judgment. Democrats were nearly evenly split on the panel, with a majority, nine in all, joining Republicans to hold former President Clinton in contempt. Eight Democrats voted no. But only three Democrats joined Republicans in a vote to do the same for former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton. Most Democrats argued she was not privy to the same access to Epstein. The Clintons said they've turned over the, quote, little information they have. Claudia Rosales, NPR News.
