I am ready to do that job when I walk into the Oval Office.

OBAMA: When I walked into the Oval Office, I had more than a trillion-dollar deficit

…pretty much as soon as he enters the Oval office…

Yes, but if- Mr. President, Mr. President, with respect, I think it's disrespectful for you to come into the Oval Office and try to litigate this in front of the American media.

The UK government says it remains absolutely committed to peace in Ukraine and that it's engaging with key allies After President Trump paused US military aid to the war-torn country a short while ago The EU Commission president outlined her plan to strengthen Europe's military capability Saying it would help the bloc get immediate military equipment to Ukraine An official in Washington explained President Trump's decision by saying the president's been clear that he's focused on peace We need our partners to be committed to that goal as well We're pausing and reviewing our aid to ensure that it's contributing to a solution Well since returning to the White House President Trump's claimed and on a number of occasions that the Biden administration gave Ukraine 350 billion dollars in military assistance BBC News has not been able to verify that figure Well, the US Department of Defense says the amount spent on military assistance to Ukraine in the three years since the Russian invasion Amounts to just over a hundred and eighty billion dollars President Trump's move come two days after that heated exchange between him and President Zelensky and Vice President Vance in the Oval Office Well speaking to Fox News before the military aid was paused Vice President Vance said the door is open if mr Zelensky is willing to talk peace mr. Vance also suggested that giving Washington an economic interest in the future of Ukraine would serve as a security guarantee If you want real security guarantees if you want to actually ensure that Vladimir Putin does not invade Ukraine again The very best security guarantee is to give Americans economic upside in the future of Ukraine That is a way better security guarantee than 20,000 troops from some random country that hasn't fought a war in 30 or 40 years the security guarantee and also the economic guarantee for Ukraine is to rebuild the country and Ensure that America has a long-term interest JD Vance there will Ukraine does produce some of its own weaponry But it does rely heavily on billions of dollars of aid from overseas allies such as America and Europe With more on all of that his BBC verifies Nick Hurdley What would a reduction in US support look like and could Europe step in to fill funding and equipment gaps?

My fellow Americans, I'm speaking to you tonight from behind the Resolute Desk in the Oval Office.

I mean, Elon Musk was in the Oval Office with the president a week before this blow up and they were both heaping praise on one another.

And his testicles are in Donald Trump's desk drawer in the Oval Office.

This ridiculous New York fraud case, it's about destroying the guy's wealth before he reenters the Oval Office.

The timing of course why now this late into the into the situation is I think a second question about what has happened since then and actually at the moment that we've seen one of the highest profile foreign policy announcements that the administration has wanted to champion because they have just signed that minerals deal with the Ukrainians that's something Donald Trump been pressing for weeks it led to that row in the Oval Office the sort of humiliating attack on President Zelensky by President Trump and the the Vice President JD Vance at that moment so actually now was a moment where they've really been sort of hailing and championing what they see as a big success in foreign policy a big moment for them about the signing of this deal so whether there's a connection between the way these things are being choreographed I think another question we'll have to wait to see exactly what President Trump says and of course we get a word from Mike Waltz himself.
