Trump warns Zelensky of ‘big problems’ after accusing him of minerals deal u-turn
Donald Trump claimed that serving as president again in 2028 would be a fourth term just hours after stating that he was not “not joking” about considering another four years in the White House.
During an interview with NBC News Sunday, Trump told Kristen Welker “there are methods” that could enable him to stay in office for an unconstitutional third term.
While heading back to Washington, DC on board Air Force One on Sunday evening, the president stated that it would actually be “sort of a fourth term” claiming that the 2020 election – which he lost to Joe Biden – was “rigged.”
Trump also told Welker that he was “p***** off” with Russian President Vladimir Putin over the lack of a ceasefire in Ukraine and threatened to bomb Iran if there was no new nuclear deal. He also accused Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenksy of trying to back out of a potential new minerals deal.
Stocks tumbled around the globe on Monday ahead of Trump’s promised “Liberation Day” Wednesday when he is expected to impose reciprocal tariffs on “all countries” that levy duties on U.S. goods.
A town hall meeting hosted by controversial Indiana Republican Victoria Spartz descended into chaos after the congresswoman gave apparently unsatisfactory answers to several questions from constituents.
The room erupted with boos and chants on Friday after Spartz said she would not be calling for the resignation of Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, and other members of the so-called Signalgate group chat.

Sir Keir Starmer and Donald Trump have discussed “productive negotiations” towards a UK-US economic prosperity deal in a phone call, Downing Street said, as fears grow the UK may be landed with US tariffs.
The pair agreed that negotiations will “continue at pace” in the Sunday night call, which came after home secretary Yvette Cooper warned that “no option is off the table” in terms of a British response to any US tariffs.
The UK is trying to negotiate an exemption from tariffs on all imports into the US.

Speaking on Sunday Morning Futures on Fox News today, White House National Economic Council Director Kevin Hassett appeared to have no insight into what tariff plan President Donald Trump is going to unveil on Wednesday’s so-called “Liberation Day.”
“I can’t give you any forward-looking guidance on what’s gonna happen this week. The president has got a heck of a lot of analysis before him, and he’s gonna make the right choice I’m sure,” said Hassett.
Economist Justin Wolfers commented on X: “In what sort of functional policy process does the President’s chief economic advisor have no idea what economic policy the President will announce?”

Illinois Democrat Rep Sean Casten appears to have little time for National Security Adviser Mike Waltz’s explanation of how journalist Jeffery Goldberg’s number came to be on his phone and included in the infamous group chat on Signal.
Casten wrote on X in response to a clip of Goldberg being interviewed on Meet the Press this morning, in which he was asked about Waltz’s explanation: “Waltz is full of shit. But let’s take him at face value – because if what he says is true, then he is choosing to discuss classified information on a platform where — in his own telling — he has no control over who is listening in. Either he’s a liar or a traitor. Pick one.”
