Trump Threatens Hamas, Suspends Ukraine Intelligence Sharing

Former President Donald Trump has issued a stern ultimatum to Hamas, demanding the immediate release of hostages and threatening severe consequences if they fail to comply. This comes as the U.S. engages in direct negotiations with Hamas, aiming to secure the release of American hostages. Concurrently, Trump has emphasized his commitment to ending the conflict in Ukraine, highlighting substantial military aid provided by the U.S. to Ukraine. During a recent address to Congress, Trump criticized European allies for spending more on Russian oil and gas than on Ukraine's defense, while also discussing the imposition of tariffs on Canada and Mexico. Additionally, Trump is promoting an ambitious natural gas pipeline project in Alaska, intended to involve international partners. These initiatives underscore his administration's focus on international conflict resolution and economic measures to bolster American interests.
