World Leader Warns Trump Has Betrayed Allies
Chris Stevenson, a columnist for The Independent, argued Trump's tactic of moving to new controversies is losing its effect. He described the result as a possible "slow death of his presidency."
- Trump called Ukraine's strikes on Russian oil refineries a "disgrace."
- Zelensky said Kyiv is "done" with Trump's proposed energy ceasefire.
- Russia kept striking Ukraine's power and energy infrastructure despite the proposal.
- 13 people were killed at Fort Hood by Nidal Malik Hasan in 2009.
Why it matters: Stevenson argued Trump cannot blame predecessors for economic fallout from strikes on Iran he ordered. He linked higher fuel costs and inflation to voter dissatisfaction.
- Trump reversed his approval of livestreaming Hasan's firing-squad execution.
- Democrats and Republicans both criticized the livestream plan.
