Trump has floated the idea of restarting large-scale US-Russia trade after a peace deal in Ukraine, with Putin echoing a similar sentiment.

The U.S. Supreme Court swept away this week another obstacle to one of President Donald Trump's most aggressively pursued policies - mass deportation - again showing its willingness to back his hardline approach to immigration. The justices, though, have signaled some reservations with how he is carrying it out.

The US representative to the United Nations told the UN Security Council on May 29 that the deal now on offer to end the war in Ukraine is the best possible outcome for Russia and President Vladimir Putin should take it.

The U.S. president lashed out at the Kremlin on Tuesday as the White House continued to consider increasing sanctions against Russia.

As President Donald Trump is holding for crucial calls with Russian President Vladimir Putin and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, his administration faces ongoing talks to secure trade deals.

Donald Trump promised voters he'd end the Russia-Ukraine war on Day 1 thanks, in part, to his relationship with Putin. But months into his term, peace remains elusive.

President Vladimir Putin's conditions for ending the war in Ukraine include a demand that Western leaders pledge in writing to stop enlarging NATO eastwards and lift a chunk of sanctions on Russia, according to three Russian sources with knowledge of the negotiations.
