President Donald Trump will meet with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy at the White House on Friday as the United States weighs supplying Ukraine with long-range Tomahawk missiles.
The meeting comes a day after Trump<\/a><\/em><\/strong> said in a post on social media that he plans to meet with Russian President Vladimir Putin in Budapest\u00a0“to see if we can bring this ‘inglorious’ War, between Russia and Ukraine, to an end.”
Early this fall, Germany’s leader Friedrich Merz assured reporters that his country was “not at war.” Merz was speaking about what he characterized as Russia’s repeated attempts to undermine European unity over its response to Moscow’s war in Ukraine. “But we are no longer at peace either,” he added.

But he did tap into a growing sense of apprehension among some Europeans and Americans: surveys show that many of them believe a global war could occur in the next five to ten years<\/a>.

Former National Security Adviser John Bolton, who became a critic of President Donald Trump, was indicted Oct. 16<\/a> on charges of improperly retaining national defense information that allegedly included top secret documents. The case marks the latest in a string of prosecutions of Trump’s perceived enemies. The indictment comes after federal law enforcement said in court filings that they obtained documents labeled “classified,” “secret,” and “confidential” during an August search of Bolton’s office. The allegations represent the third criminal case brought against a major critic of Trump<\/a> in about three weeks.
In the latest in a series of mass protests since President Donald Trump took office, “No Kings” rallies and marches will be held at more than 2,500 locations nationwide<\/a> Saturday, Oct. 18.

It is also an opportunity to push back against recent moves by Trump’s administration including increased immigration enforcement, organizers say. Protesters are being urged to wear yellow. Asked for reaction to the protests earlier this week, White House spokesperson Abigail Jackson replied \u201cWho cares?\u201d
Billionaires are donating heavily in the waning days of the New York City mayor\u2019s race to stop Democratic frontrunner Zohran Mamdani. Bill Ackman, a billionaire hedge fund manager<\/a>, donated $1 million Oct. 14 to Defend NYC, a super PAC opposed to Mamdani\u2019s candidacy. Mamdani, a democratic socialist state lawmaker, is ahead in polls with less than three weeks before the Nov. 4 general election. Ackman has previously criticized Mamdani for his advocacy for Palestinian rights and his condemnation of Israel’s siege in Gaza, as well as Mamdani’s socialist politics. Mamdani has said billionaires shouldn’t exist amid extreme income inequality.
Rescue crews in Alaska airlifted hundreds of people<\/a> out of remote\u00a0villages devastated by remnants of Typhoon Halong\u00a0last weekend, as authorities worked to shelter survivors and restore power and water services to hard-hit communities. One woman in the rural village of Kwigillingok was killed and two people remain missing, the state’s emergency management agency said Wednesday, Oct. 15, as it shifted from a rescue mission to a recovery effort.
