From The New York Times, it's The Headlines. I'm Traci Mumford. Today's Monday, March 3rd. Here's what we're covering.
We are re-exerting peace through strength. President Trump has brought back strength to the White House.
After Friday's fiery showdown in the Oval Office, the Trump administration and other top Republicans are doubling down on their aggressive stance toward Vladimir Zelenskyy.
I hope and pray, frankly, that President Zelensky will come to his senses, come back to President Trump, apologize for his behavior there.
House Speaker Mike Johnson said Zelensky should be the one to apologize after Donald Trump and J.D. Vance publicly berated the Ukrainian leader for not being grateful enough for U.S.
aid. I hope he comes to the realization that we're actually trying to help his country here.
Secretary of State Marco Rubio also criticized Zelensky, saying he was undermining peace negotiations.
And that's what Zelensky did, unfortunately, is he found every opportunity to try to Ukraine-splain on every issue. Then he confronts the vice president.
National Security Advisor Mike Waltz went further in an interview on CNN.
