Talking tough, President Trump throws down a challenge to his Russian counterpart ahead of their high-stakes summit in Alaska.
It's a war that should have never happened. If I weren't president, in my opinion, he would much rather take off, take over all of Ukraine. But I am president and he's not going to mess around with me.
Plus, could the U.S. government take a stake in Intel? We report on another possible departure from business as usual under Trump. And Apple brings back blood oxygen monitoring to some of its watches. It's Friday, August 15th. I'm Azhar Sukri for The Wall Street Journal. Here is the AM edition of What's News, the top headlines and business stories moving your world today. President Trump and his Russian counterpart Vladimir Putin will arrive in Alaska today with two very different goals in mind for how to end the war in Ukraine. After initially playing down the summit as a way to feel out Putin's position, Trump in recent days has said he would urge Putin to accept a ceasefire, seeking to jumpstart long-stalled negotiations with
For Putin, the aim when the leaders meet at an airbase outside of Anchorage will be to stay in Trump's good graces while still trying to reassert Moscow's dominance over Kyiv. Speaking to reporters at the White House, Trump said he wants to bring Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky into the talks.
I think it's going to be a good meeting, but the more important meeting will be the second meeting that we're having. We're going to have a meeting with President Putin, President Zelensky, myself, And maybe we'll bring some of the European leaders along, maybe not. I don't know that it's going to be very important. We're going to see what happens. And I think President Putin will make peace. I think President Zelensky will make peace. We'll see if they can get along.

And if they can, it'll be great.
But while Trump is aiming to move quickly to bring an end to the war, journal correspondent Thomas Grove says Putin will be happy to play the long game.
One of the most important things that this does for Russia and Putin right now is that it prolongs peace talks. It basically extends the amount of time during which Russia can show that it's being a good partner in peace talks and that it wants to move forward towards peace without getting sanctioned. Trump has threatened sanctions more and more in the past as he's become visibly frustrated with Russia. For Trump is ultimately showing the United States and the rest of the world that he was able to clinch a very hard to attain peace between Russia and Ukraine. He's telegraphed that his own expectations for that may be low. When it comes to Russia, they want to see relations normalized as much as they can be between the US and Russia.
They want international recognition for the gains that they've made on the battlefield and continue to make on the battlefield.
And coming up later in the show, we'll look at how the military situation on the ground may force Ukraine to reluctantly give up territory to Russia in exchange for peace. In Washington, Attorney General Pam Bondi has tapped Terry Cole, the head of the Drug Enforcement Administration, as the so-called emergency police commissioner to lead the city's Metropolitan Police Department. Bondi said in a directive that the local police must receive approval from Cole before issuing any orders, leading city officials to reject President Trump's latest move to tighten his grip on D.C.
