US prosecutors have accused a man of concealing his role in the Rwandan genocide to move to the United States and attempt to become a citizen, they said Thursday.

Faustin Nsabumukunzi, 65, allegedly had a leadership role whereby he oversaw killings of Tutsi civilians in the 1994 genocide in which the United Nations said some 800,000 Tutsis and moderate Hutus were murdered.

A business reporter warned that Americans are a few weeks away from seeing empty shelves in stores due to President Donald Trump's ongoing trade war with China.

Christine Romans, senior business correspondent for NBC News, provided an update on the market's response to Trump's shift in language with China.

President Donald Trump may not be engaging in formal talks with China to negotiate tariffs, but he was lobbing threats against the rival economic giant on social media.

China's foreign ministry denied any suggestion it was involved in active negotiations with the Trump administration over tariffs, saying there had been no progress on the matter, and hours later the U.S. president issued taunts from his Truth Social account.

A Donald Trump-appointed judge ordered the administration to seek the return of a second man improperly deported to El Salvador.

Maryland-based U.S. District judge Stephanie Gallagher ruled the administration had violated a legally binding court settlement from last year by deporting the 20-year-old to the Central American nation, reported Politico.

Comments made by Vice President J.D. Vance on Wednesday about negotiations to end Russia's invasion of Ukraine earned him a tongue-lashing on MSNBC early Thursday morning.

With Donald Trump's administration flailing in its attempts to end the war Russian President Vladimir Putin initiated, Secretary of State Marco Rubio has been hinting the U.S. may walk away from the bargaining table unless Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelenskyy agrees to a White House proposal that experts say heavily favors Russia.

Speaking in Agra, India Wednesday, Vance doubled down and came to Putin's defense which led to vehement push back from "Morning Joe" co-hosts Mika Brzezinski and Jonathan Lemire.

Towards the end of his remarks, Vance stated, "I'm going to echo something Secretary Rubio said, which is: look, we've issued a very explicit proposal to both the Russians and Ukrainians and it's time for them to either say yes or for the United States to walk away from this process."

He then added, "We've really tried to understand things from the perspective of both the Ukrainians and the Russians. What do Ukrainians care the most about? What do the Russians care the most about? And I think that we've put together a very fair proposal."

That earned him a "What?" from Brzezinski who quickly turned to her co-host and stated, "Yeah. Tell me what you're thinking right now."

"I mean, right now, I mean even as the vice president said there, he said, 'We're trying to understand each side's perspective.' Trying to understand Russian's perspective?" the obviously incensed Lemire asked.

"We know what their perspective is: they invaded a sovereign nation," he exclaimed as Brzezinski chimed in with, "They want to seize territory and Trump wants to give it to them!"

"That's the bottom line," she added to which Lemire added, "Doesn't seem much open for interpretation."

President Donald Trump pleaded with Russian president Vladimir Putin to call off a bombing campaign against Ukraine.

Russia launched its deadliest attacks against Kyiv in nine months Thursday morning, just hours after Trump accused Ukraine president Volodymyr Zelenskyy of undermining peace talks, but the U.S. president lashed out at Putin in response to the attacks.
