Russian President Vladimir Putin and Chinese leader Xi Jinping were caught discussing how to use organ harvesting to become immortal.

During Putin's visit with Xi on Wednesday, the two leaders spoke while attending China's Victory Day parade. The men, both 72, could be heard on CCTV discussing aspirations to live to 150.

President Donald Trump announced on Tuesday that he issued a military strike on a drug cartel, killing 11 people. Taking to Truth Social after, Trump explained it was a "kinetic strike," which is typically a bullet, bomb, drone, or missile, though there have been political "strikes" for regime change.

Trump claimed that the cartel leaders he killed were "positively identified Tren de Aragua Narcoterrorists." Trump's administration claimed previously that people were in the Tren de Aragua and MS-13 gangs due to their tattoos, like an autism ribbon.

U.S. President Donald Trump vowed to "do something" after Russian President Vladimir Putin flouted his latest two-week deadline on the war in Ukraine.

In an interview with conservative radio host and CNN contributor Scott Jennings, Trump said he was "very disappointed" in Putin.

If Donald Trump doesn’t make an attempt to buck the Constitution and run for president once again in 2028, which he has hinted at, his middle son, Eric, has indicated he might like to take his turn in the Oval Office.

According to a report from Newsweek’s Theo Burman, Eric made rumblings about jumping from the Trump family business into a run, likely against a handful of Republicans seeking the MAGA crown and what comes with it.

A massive rescue operation was underway in Afghanistan Monday, after a strong earthquake and multiple aftershocks flattened homes in a remote, mountainous region, killing more than 800 people, the Taliban authorities said.

The earthquake struck just before midnight, shaking buildings from Kabul to neighbouring Pakistan's capital, Islamabad.

President Donald Trump privately pitched a controversial idea for Ukraine following the end of the Russo-Ukraine War, a proposal fiercely opposed by Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, according to four insiders that spoke with the Financial Times.

According to the Financial Times’ report, four “people briefed on discussions” told the outlet that Trump had asked Chinese officials to provide “peacekeepers” to patrol and monitor a hypothetical “neutral zone” in Ukraine along its current front line in a postwar scenario. Trump made the suggestion last week during his meeting with Zelenskyy and European leaders, according to the insiders.

The former director of the CDC’s National Center for Immunization and Respiratory Disease raised a “red flag” on Saturday morning, accusing Health and Human Services head Robert F. Kennedy Jr. promoting eugenics.

Appearing on MSNBC’s “The Weekend,” Dr. Demetre Daskalakis, who resigned in protest over the firing of CDC Director Susan Monarez, hammered at RFK Jr’s purge of scientists at the CDC, which has plunged the department into chaos.

Amid the stalled peace talks kicked off by President Donald Trump to end the Russo-Ukraine War, a number of Trump officials are now casting blame elsewhere in a move that has left some of America’s allies “puzzled,” Axios reported Saturday.

"The Europeans don't get to prolong this war and backdoor unreasonable expectations, while also expecting America to bear the cost," said a top Trump official, speaking with Axios on the condition of anonymity. "If Europe wants to escalate this war, that will be up to them. But they will be hopelessly snatching defeat from the jaws of victory."

President Donald Trump’s so-called “America First Priorities” are in some cases being welcomed with open arms by Chinese officials, who have said that the United States’ growing isolation and provocative trade policy is helping China “increase its global influence.”

“China may suffer economically because of the tariffs, but politically, China is gaining more sympathy and more support from other countries, and not just in the Global South,” said Xinbo Wu, who leads the Institute of International Studies at Fudan University and Shanghai as its dean, speaking with the Wall Street Journal Friday. “We now certainly face less diplomatic pressure than we did under the Biden administration.”

The Trump administration said Friday that Secretary of State Marco Rubio "is denying and revoking visas from members of the Palestine Liberation Organization and the Palestinian Authority" ahead of next month's United Nations General Assembly in New York.

The US State Department said Friday that "the Trump administration has been clear: It is in our national security interests to hold the PLO and PA accountable for not complying with their commitments, and for undermining the prospects for peace."
