Chapter 2: What deadline has the U.S. set for Ukraine and Russia to end their war?
President Volodymyr Zelensky says the U.S. plans to pressure both sides to meet the timeline to end the near four-year war in less than four months. He also said the U.S. and Russia are preparing to sign an economic deal worth $12 trillion after Russia presented the U.S. with a lucrative proposal. Zelensky says the plan was uncovered by Ukrainian intelligence.

A federal judge told the Trump administration it can't withhold billions of federal dollars for the New York-New Jersey Gateway Tunnel project while a legal challenge plays out. As NPR's Tamara Keith reports, there's a bizarre naming rights dispute now wrapped up in that freeze.
The White House put a hold on the project's funding in October. Then this past week, several news outlets reported the White House had told Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer of New York that the president would release the funds if Schumer helped rename New York City's main train station and an airport near Washington, D.C. after Trump.
Asked about it on Air Force One, Trump didn't entirely dismiss the idea.
Chuck Schumer suggested that to me about changing the name of Penn Station to Trump Station.
In a post on X, Schumer disputed Trump's account saying, quote, absolute lie. He knows it. Everyone knows it. Tamara Keith, NPR News, traveling with the president.
