President Donald Trump called on Federal Reserve Governor Lisa Cook to resign after a staunch ally called for an investigation of the board member’s mortgages, intensifying his campaign on the central bank.

Federal Housing Finance Agency Director Bill Pulte urged Attorney General Pam Bondi to investigate Cook over a pair of mortgages, the latest in a series of moves by the Trump administration to increase legal scrutiny of Democratic figures and appointees. Cook was nominated to the Fed by former President Joe Biden.

Trump said Wednesday that Cook “must resign now,” citing Pulte’s allegations, while the FHFA head posted on social media that the accusations give Trump “cause to fire” her.

Trump Presses Fed’s Cook to Quit

A package of security guarantees for Ukraine will take shape as soon as this week as leaders seize on President Donald Trump’s backing for a plan that involves sending European troops as part of a potential peace deal. 

After a White House summit on Monday yielded a firmer US commitment to guarantees, European leaders are looking to leverage Trump’s offer and place Kyiv in a stronger position ahead of a possible meeting between Presidents Vladimir Putin and Volodymyr Zelenskiy. 

A gathering of European officials on Tuesday focused on a plan to send British and French troops to Ukraine as part of a peace agreement, including the size and position of military personnel, according to people familiar with the matter. About 10 countries would be ready to send forces to the war-battered nation, they said on condition of anonymity.

Europe Races to Leverage Trump’s Ukraine Support

US President Donald Trump and Ukrainian leader Volodymyr Zelenskiy expressed hope their summit with European leaders could result in trilateral talks with Vladimir Putin over ending the Russian leader’s war in Ukraine. 

The White House meeting, which included top European leaders, came days after the US president met Putin in Alaska. But while that gathering — which saw Trump say the onus was on Zelenskiy to end the three-year conflict — sparked concern among allies, Monday’s meeting provided Ukraine reason for hope.

Zelenskiy said he was encouraged that the US would participate in security guarantees as part of any peace deal, and signaled that Trump had agreed to a key ask: that discussion of territorial exchanges would be reserved for direct talks with Putin. Trump signaled that he may be able to convince Russia to release as many as a thousand prisoners as a show of good faith. More broadly, the two leaders — who have often struggled to work harmoniously since Trump’s return to power — spent the afternoon praising each other and underscoring the unity between Kyiv and Washington.

Trump, Zelenskiy, EU Leaders Meet at the White House

Watch Joe and Kailey LIVE every day on YouTube: http://bit.ly/3vTiACF.

US President Donald Trump called his meeting with Russian counterpart Vladimir Putin “extremely productive” but indicated that a deal to end the war had still not been finalized, adding that he would speak to NATO allies and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy.

“There’s no deal until there’s a deal,” Trump said Friday in Anchorage, Alaska as he stood alongside Putin for a joint event. 

The event followed the longest ever face-to-face meeting between the two leaders. But despite their extended conversation neither leader provided clear details on their discussion or on where they found common ground, a move that will likely intensify anxiety in European capitals and in Kyiv about an agreement that sidelines their input.

INSTANT REACTION: Trump, Putin Finish 'Productive' Talks But 'No Deal' Yet

US President Donald Trump warned he would impose “very severe consequences” if Vladimir Putin didn’t agree to a ceasefire agreement later this week, following a call with European leaders ahead of his meeting with the Russian president. 

Trump also said he hoped to use the Friday meeting to set up a “quick second meeting” with Ukrainian leader Volodymyr Zelenskiy after allies pressed him to push for such a summit. UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer is hosting Zelenskiy in London on Thursday.

“There’s a very good chance that we’re going to have a second meeting which will be more productive than the first,” Trump told reporters Wednesday at the Kennedy Center, adding that he was “setting the table for the second meeting.”

Final Preparations for Trump, Putin Meeting

Watch Joe and Kailey LIVE every day on YouTube: http://bit.ly/3vTiACF.

President Donald Trump said he may name the next Federal Reserve chair “a little bit early” and added that he was down to three or four potential candidates as he looks for a successor to Jerome Powell.

“I’ll be naming a new chairman sometime within the next — I think I’ll name it a little bit early, the new chairman. I’m down to three or four names,” Trump said Wednesday during an event at the Kennedy Center in Washington, describing the contenders as “all good, all great.”

Trump has hammered Powell over the central bank’s decision to hold interest rates steady, repeatedly calling in the past for him to resign and publicly mulling whether he should fire the chair outright before saying he would wait for his term to end in May. Naming his successor while Powell is still finishing his term raises the prospect of a “shadow Fed” emerging and risks creating whiplash for investors tracking the positions of both the current and future chairs.

Trump Narrows Fed Chair Search

President Donald Trump extended a pause of higher tariffs on Chinese goods for another 90 days into early November, stabilizing trade ties between the world’s two largest economies.

Trump signed an order extending the truce through Nov. 10, deferring a tariff hike set for Tuesday. The de-escalation first took effect when the US and China agreed to reduce tit-for-tat tariff hikes and ease export restrictions on rare earth magnets and certain technologies.

“All other elements of the Agreement will remain the same,” Trump said in a Truth Social post, suggesting no planned changes to US trade policy or to the terms of the arrangement. A fact sheet, posted by the White House, didn’t detail any modifications beyond the date extension.

Trump Extends China Tariff Truce

President Donald Trump announced he would take federal control of Washington DC’s police department and deploy 800 National Guard troops there, escalating his push to exert power over the nation’s capital. 

Trump on Monday also threatened to insert federal personnel into other cities, including New York and Chicago, if they did not crack down on what he called “out of control” crime. 

During a White House news conference, Trump painted a nightmarish picture of a Washington that’s been “overtaken” by “bloodthirsty criminals” and “roving mobs of wild youth” that was at direct odds with statistics showing plummeting crime rates. Violent crimes in the capital reached a 30-year low in 2024, the Justice Department announced weeks before Trump took office in January.

Washington and Moscow are aiming to reach a deal to halt the war in Ukraine that would lock in Russia’s occupation of territory seized during its military invasion, according to people familiar with the matter.

US and Russian officials are working toward an agreement on territories for a planned summit meeting between Presidents Donald Trump and Vladimir Putin as early as next week, the people said, speaking on condition of anonymity to discuss private deliberations. The US is working to get buy-in from Ukraine and its European allies on the deal, which is far from certain, the people said.

Putin is demanding that Ukraine cede its entire eastern Donbas area to Russia as well as Crimea, which his forces illegally annexed in 2014. That would require Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy to order a withdrawal of troops from parts of the Luhansk and Donetsk regions still held by Kyiv, handing Russia a victory that its army couldn’t achieve militarily since the start of the full-scale invasion in February 2022.
