According to The Telegraph, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky asked President Donald J. Trump for BGM-109 “Tomahawk” Land Attack Cruise Missiles (TLAMs) during a recent closed-door meeting. The U.S.-made missiles, with a range of up to 1,500 miles, would be capable of striking Moscow. Sources described the meeting, held on the sidelines of the United Nations, as highly positive. Zelensky reportedly argued that access to such advanced weapons would pressure Vladimir Putin into negotiations with the U.S. and Ukraine. President Trump is said to be “open” to Ukraine’s request for long-range cruise missiles and other sophisticated systems.

In a highly unusual move, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has ordered the Defense Forces to install loudspeakers inside and around the Gaza Strip to broadcast his address today before the United Nations General Assembly in New York. Photos and video from this morning show cranes mounting loudspeakers onto trucks before they were transported into Gaza. Alongside the loudspeaker installations, Israeli intelligence reportedly hacked phones and other cellular devices across Gaza to push Netanyahu’s UN speech directly to Palestinians still inside the Strip.

Speaking to reporters on the South Lawn of the White House before departing for the 45th Ryder Cup Matches in New York, President Donald J. Trump said: “I think we may have a deal on Gaza — very close, very close. It looks like we have something. A deal to bring the hostages home, to end the war, and to bring peace.”

A nuclear deal has reportedly been signed between Turkey and the United States. According to Turkish media, the details of the deal are still unknown, though it is believed to likely be linked to cooperation in the field of advanced small modular reactors, needed for the development of future nuclear fission power plants in Turkey and the United States.

While making his way to the French Embassy in New York City last night, French President Emmanuel Macron was briefly held up by a street closure as U.S. President Donald J. Trump’s motorcade passed through. Macron reportedly phoned Trump afterward to jokingly complain, teasing him about his “slow motorcade.”

Just now on Truth Social, U.S. President Donald J. Trump posted a stunning shift in tone on the war in Ukraine. After reviewing the military and economic dynamics between Ukraine and Russia, Trump wrote that he believes Ukraine, with support from the European Union, “is in a position to fight and WIN all of Ukraine back in its original form.” He added that with patience, European financial backing, and especially NATO’s support, restoring Ukraine’s prewar borders “is very much an option.” Trump went even further, calling Russia a “paper tiger” and arguing that much of Moscow’s resources are being drained by the conflict, while Ukraine’s “Great Spirit” only continues to strengthen. He concluded that Ukraine might not only reclaim its full territory — including Eastern Ukraine and Crimea — but could “maybe even go further than that.” Trump closed his post by declaring, “We will continue to supply weapons to NATO for NATO to do what they want with them. Good luck to all!” This marks one of the most dramatic reversals in foreign policy rhetoric from the Trump Administration, now openly suggesting Ukraine could achieve total territorial restoration — and possibly beyond. Such a statement is almost certain to provoke outrage in Moscow and raises the likelihood of further Russian escalation against both Europe and the United States.

When asked moments ago whether NATO nations should shoot down Russian aircraft violating their airspace, U.S. President Donald J. Trump replied, “Yes, I do.” Pressed on whether he still “trusts” Russian President Vladimir Putin, Trump responded, “I’ll let you know about a month from now.”

The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) reports that the Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant in southeastern Ukraine has lost all external power, forcing a switch to emergency diesel generators. This marks the tenth such incident since Russia launched its full-scale invasion of Ukraine.

After this morning’s defense consultations, requested by Estonia under NATO Article 4 in response to last week’s violation of Estonian airspace by multiple Russian fighter jets, NATO Secretary-General Mark Rutte released the following statement:

In a statement released this morning, the Norwegian Government reported that Russian aircraft have violated Norway’s airspace on at least three occasions in 2025: • April 25: A Russian Su-24 fighter jet entered Norwegian airspace northeast of Vardø Municipality, remaining for four minutes. • July 24: A Russian L410 Turbolet crossed into Norwegian airspace over an uninhabited area along the border in Eastern Finnmark, staying for three minutes. • August 18: A Russian Su-33 fighter jet flew into Norwegian airspace over the sea northeast of Vardø Municipality, remaining for one minute.

Speaking before the United Nations General Assembly today, U.S. President Donald J. Trump accused China and India of being the primary financial backers of Russia’s war in Ukraine and criticized NATO members for continuing to buy Russian energy. “Inexcusably, even NATO countries have not cut off Russian energy and Russian energy products. I only found out about this two weeks ago, and I wasn’t happy. Think about it — they’re funding the war against themselves. Who’s ever heard of that?” Trump said. He went on to warn that if Russia refuses to negotiate an end to the conflict, the United States is ready to impose “a very strong round of powerful tariffs” that he believes would “end the bloodshed very quickly.” But he emphasized that the tariffs would only be effective if European nations joined in: “You’re much closer to this conflict — we have an ocean between us. Europe has to step it up. They can’t keep doing what they’re doing — buying oil and gas from Russia while fighting Russia. It’s embarrassing. They need to immediately stop all energy purchases from Russia.”

The U.S. Secret Service announced today that, after a monthlong investigation, it dismantled a massive network of more than 300 SIM servers and 100,000 SIM cards operating at multiple sites across New York City and surrounding areas within a 35-mile radius of this week’s United Nations General Assembly. Officials say the network had the potential to disrupt emergency services, jam cellular networks, enable encrypted communications, intercept U.N. communications, and even send over 30 million anonymous text messages per minute. One official described the scale of the operation as unlike anything the agency has ever encountered. Investigators believe the size and sophistication of the setup point to a state-backed surveillance effort. Preliminary analysis of the seized SIM cards revealed links to at least one foreign nation and ties to criminal groups, including cartel members already active in the United States. Cybersecurity experts note that only a handful of countries — such as Russia, China, and Israel — would likely have the capability to mount such an operation.

The White House today dismissed widespread reports from major news outlets claiming that Border Czar Tom Homan was caught in 2024 accepting $50,000 from undercover FBI agents posing as business executives, allegedly in exchange for preferential treatment in securing contracts with the incoming Trump Administration. While the White House acknowledged that such an undercover sting targeting Homan did occur, it insisted he never accepted the money and accused the FBI of attempting to “entrap” him. The investigation into the operation and the alleged $50,000 payment was recently dropped by the FBI and Justice Department under the Trump Administration.

French President Emmanuel Macron announced today at the 80th Session of the United Nations General Assembly in New York that France has formally recognized the State of Palestine.

From the Oval Office moments ago, President Donald J. Trump, joined by Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and other senior officials, announced that taking Tylenol during pregnancy may be linked to a higher risk of Autism in children. The President went further, suggesting that other medications and vaccines could also carry a “very high risk” of Autism, pointing to the Amish community, which he claimed has no reported cases of the condition.

The U.S. State Department reported that in today’s meeting between Secretary of State Marco Rubio and Syrian President Ahmed al-Sharaa, the two leaders discussed their shared commitment to a stable and sovereign Syria, along with ongoing efforts to ensure security and prosperity for all Syrians. They also addressed the implementation of President Trump’s recent sanctions relief announcement and emphasized the significance of Israel-Syria relations.

A message to Russia today from Polish Deputy Prime Minister Radosław Sikorski:

A day after the United Kingdom officially recognized the State of Palestine, a ceremony was held this morning outside the Palestinian Mission in London, where the Palestinian flag was raised and the Mission was formally inaugurated as the Embassy of the State of Palestine.

Fox News reports that Hamas has sent a letter to President Donald J. Trump, asking for assurances of a 60-day ceasefire in Gaza in exchange for releasing half of the remaining hostages. The letter, expected to reach Trump later this week, marks the group’s first major communication since Israel’s September 9 ballistic missile strike on a meeting of senior Hamas leaders in Qatar.
