The United States has set a June deadline for Ukraine and Russia to reach a peace agreement, according to Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, as reported by NPR Politics. This announcement comes amidst ongoing conflict and follows reports of a decline in environmental enforcement under the Trump administration, as detailed by Ars Technica. Simultaneously, immigration talks have stalled, with a Friday deadline looming, as reported by the NY Times, and the U.S. figure skating team secured a gold medal at the Milano Cortina Winter Olympics, as noted by Time.
Zelenskyy told reporters that the U.S. proposed the June deadline, and if it is not met, the Trump administration would likely pressure both sides to reach an agreement, according to NPR Politics. This deadline comes as Russian strikes on energy infrastructure forced nuclear power plants to cut output on Saturday, as reported by the Associated Press.
Meanwhile, multiple reports indicate a significant decline in environmental enforcement under President Trump's second term. Civil lawsuits against polluters have plummeted compared to the Biden and Obama administrations, according to Ars Technica. This drop stems from a deregulatory agenda and streamlined industry activities, particularly benefiting fossil fuel companies, as highlighted by various watchdog groups.
In other news, the U.S. figure skating team won gold in the team event at the Milano Cortina Winter Olympics, retaining the title they won four years ago in Beijing, according to Time. This time, the result was more straightforward, and the skaters received their medals at the Milano Ice Skating Arena.
Furthermore, immigration talks have stalled, with Democrats and Republicans at an impasse over funding the Department of Homeland Security, as reported by the NY Times. Democrats are demanding new restrictions on immigration enforcement, while Republicans reject these proposals, leading to concerns about a potential government shutdown. Both sides accuse the other of failing to negotiate, leaving the situation unresolved.
Adding to the political landscape, Haitians in America are expressing concerns that they are Trump's next target, according to Vox. President Trump falsely accused Haitians in Ohio of eating pets and has previously derided their place of birth.
