France's Prime Minister François Bayrou is unimpressed with President Donald Trump's angry dressing down of Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky last week, The Associated Press reported Monday.

“On Friday night, in the Oval Office of the White House, a staggering scene unfurled before the lenses of the entire world, marked by brutality, a desire to humiliate, with the goal of making Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky fold through threats, so that he gives in to the demands of his aggressors,” said Bayrou during a parliamentary debate. “All this was summed up in one phrase before the planet’s cameras: ‘Either you find a deal with Putin or we will abandon you.’”

Following President Donald Trump's announcement that tariffs against Mexico and Canada would take effect this week, the Dow Jones dropped around 650 points as investors frantically sold off in anticipation of economic disaster. But to hear it from former Trump adviser Larry Kudlow on Fox Business, it's really all former President Joe Biden's fault the economy is showing signs of collapse.

A top Republican on the House Committee on Veterans’ Affairs put U.S. military veterans on notice that their benefits and care may not be safe as President Donald Trump continues to steamroll massive funding cuts throughout the federal government.

The acknowledgment came Monday as Rep. Greg Murphy (R-NC) refused to rule out on CNN’s “News Central” if Trump and his new Department of Government Efficiency could come after funding for veterans.
