Trump slams Putin's ‘bulls***' amid Russia's ongoing Ukraine war
Speaking to reporters following a meeting with his Cabinet on Tuesday (8 July), the US president said: 'I'm not happy with Putin. I can tell you that much right now," noting that Russian and Ukrainian soldiers were dying in their thousands.
'We get a lot of bulls*** thrown at us by Putin. ... He's very nice all the time, but it turns out to be meaningless,' he added.
The US president also said he was considering 'very strongly' whether to give his backing to a bill in the Senate that would impose harsh sanctions on Moscow over the war.

Rubio accuses outspoken UN rapporteur of ‘political warfare' over Gaza

Marco Rubio announced the decision, accusing Ms Albanese of leading a "campaign of political and economic warfare" against the US and Israel. Ms Albanese, who has described Israeli actions as "genocide," dismissed the sanctions as "mafia style intimidation techniques" and affirmed her commitment to holding states accountable. This move follows an unsuccessful US campaign to remove her from her post and is viewed by experts as the latest effort to punish critics of Israel's war.
