The European Charm Offensive That Helped Turn Trump Against Putin
BERLIN—After seeing footage of Russian airstrikes on Ukrainian cities late on July 11, President Trump called German Chancellor Friedrich Merz on his cellphone to express frustration over Vladimir Putin's continued assault on his smaller neighbor, according to two people familiar with the was surprised, these people said, but quickly realized Trump had lost patience with the Russian president. Trump said he was now ready to accept an offer Merz had made days earlier: to use German funds to buy U.S.-made weapons for Ukraine, the two officials said. 'President Trump has expressed his frustration with Putin in public and in private,' White House spokeswoman Anna Kelly said. 'He wants to stop the killing and end this brutal war, which is why he is selling American-made weapons to NATO members.'

No, In-N-Out didn't switch to '100% beef tallow,' contrary to White House claim
An April Fool's joke made by a fast-food fan account wound up in a White House Press release on Monday when the Trump administration erroneously claimed that burger chain In-N-Out Burger had transitioned to using beef tallow in its cooking. In a since-modified statement titled "President Trump Delivers on MAHA Push," published July 14, the White House touted recent changes made by major food and beverage companies, including Kraft-Heinz, PepsiCo and Tyson Foods, in response to the administration's "Make America Healthy Again" initiative. Among the announcements of synthetic dye and additive removals was one bullet point claiming that California-based fast food chain In-N-Out "transitioned to 100% beef tallow," accompanied by a link to a post on X, formerly Twitter. "It's official. In-N-Out will be transitioning to 100% pure beef tallow. The change is set to become effective on 05/01/2025 at all In-N-Out locations," read the April 1 post. The message, however, was not from the official In-N-Out account. In fact, it was shared by the fan account @innoutburger_ , which features a bio reading, "Not affiliated with In-N-Out. This is a fan account posting accurate up-to-date information" and a display name reading "Fan In-N-Out Burger." The account does feature a blue checkmark, which became a purchasable feature when Elon Musk took over the social media platform in 2022. The original post was promptly followed by two more clarifying it as an April Fool's Day joke, with one saying "before this gets out of hand," accompanied by an "April Fools" graphic. Another post came later, saying, "Just to clarify, since some people may have not seen my follow-up post, this was an April Fools joke. I never troll, besides today…" It went viral at the time regardless, amassing 5 million views and sowing confusion amongst thousands of commenters. In-N-Out still using sunflower oil for fries, not beef tallow In-N-Out told USA TODAY in a Tuesday statement that the chain had not changed its frying method. "Information was recently published in error stating that In-N-Out Burger has transitioned to beef tallow for cooking French fries,' chief operating officer Denny Warnick said. "We continue to work on an upgrade to our current sunflower oil, however, we have not yet made a change.' The White House has since removed the claim from its updated release, leaving behind the accurate statement that In-N-Out had agreed to "remove synthetic food dyes and artificial flavors from its menu items," citing a May 16 Good Morning America article. USA TODAY reached out to the White House for comment. Some restaurants are hopping on the beef tallow trend Some restaurants, including fellow fast food chain Steak 'n Shake, have switched to frying their food in beef tallow in recent months. The rendered beef fat is a favorite of Human and Health Services Secretary RFK Jr., who has publicly pushed eateries to use it in place of the seed oils he has called 'one of the most unhealthy ingredients that we have in foods.' Steak 'n Shake announced the switch in March, saying in a social media post at the time, "Steak 'n Shake is proud to support MAHA and Secretary Kennedy! Your days are numbered seed oil. We want to lead the way and make a difference! #MAHA." RFK responded to the post, thanking the restaurant for its "leadership in the crusade to Make America Healthy Again." Other chains that have opted to use beef tallow for frying include Smashburger, Popeyes, Buffalo Wild Wings and Outback Steakhouse. Beef tallow is preferred by some as a good source of saturated, monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fats, as well as fat-soluble vitamins, which can have health benefits like immune support, according to the Mayo Clinic. The jury is still out amongst experts on determining if beef tallow is overall better for you than seed oils, however. Contributing: Cheryl V. Jackson, Indy Star

Russia launches fresh volley of deadly drone attacks on Ukraine in open defiance of Trump threat
Russia assaulted Ukraine with a fresh wave of deadly drone and missile strikes Wednesday in another audacious rebellion of President Trump's 50-day peace ultimatum to Vladimir Putin. Northeastern city Kharkiv was rocked by 17 strikes in just 20 minutes after midnight, the Kyiv Independent reported, citing Ukrainian government officials. The intense barrage was focused on the city's Kyivskyi district, where at least two people were killed and several more injured, Reuters reported. Advertisement 3 A building in Kharkiv, Ukraine's second biggest city, is ablaze following airstrikes carried out by Russian drones and jets overnight. There were also strikes reported to the east of Kharkiv in the town of Kupiansk and in the city of Kryvi Rih in Dnipropetrovsk Oblast, according to the Kyiv Independent. Power and water supplies were knocked out of service at several of the bombed areas, the outlet reported, citing a local military official, and explosions were also heard in Izmail, a city in Odesa Oblast in southern Ukraine. Advertisement 3 First responders on Tuesday attempt to put out fires following the bombings carried out by Russia following President Trump's ultimatum. AP The deadly strikes mark the second day in a row that the Russian military violently rebelled against Trump's 50-day peace ultimatum he issued to Putin on Monday. Early Tuesday morning, Russia killed five and injured 43 others, including two teens and four children, in bombing strikes targeting Sumy, with Dnipropetrovsk, Donetsk, Kharkiv, Kherson and Zaporizhzhia Oblast also under assault, the Kyiv Independent reported. Russia claimed to only target military-industrial facilities, but local reports stated several residential buildings, a university and medical sites were also hit by drones, according to EuroNews. Advertisement 3 Russian President Vladimir Putin was issued an ultimatum by US President Donald Trump on Monday, but has continued his deadly air campaign against Ukraine for two nights. AP The 'billions of dollars' worth of weapons being sent over to Ukraine via NATO allies will include 'everything,' Trump vowed Monday during an Oval Office meeting with NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte. Rutte later warned Moscow's allies to 'call Vladimir' and tell him 'to get serious' about the commander in chief's potential 'secondary tariffs' threat on Moscow's allies within those 50 days if no peace deal is reached. While the Kremlin called Trump's warning 'quite serious' Tuesday, Deputy Foreign Minister Sergey Ryabkov insisted that 'any attempts to make demands, especially ultimatums, are unacceptable to us,' according to Russia's state-run TASS news agency. 'Fear is a present all the time' Advertisement A Ukrainian mother who was wounded with her 14-year-old daughter in Monday's brutal strike in Sumy is pleading with Trump to bring peace to their war-torn homeland. 'Fear is a present all the time, but we do not have a choice,' Nataliia Makhno exclusively told The Post after she and her daughter, Anastasiia, narrowly escaped death while walking home from a grocery store as the assault began. The teen's body was riddled with shrapnel wounds, and she and her mother both suffered severe blast trauma. The youngster — an award-winning modern dancer — is receiving inpatient care, putting her passion on hold until she recovers, said a devastated Nataliia, who also has an inner ear injury from the deafening boom. 'Living here is scary, but sadly, we have become used to it,' she said, adding that the family moved to Sumy, where her serviceman husband is stationed, from Myrophilla in 2022 because they thought it would be safer. The shattered mother is now begging Trump to act quickly to help end the nightmare they've endured throughout the 40-month-long war. 'I would like to ask very much that he help us so that peace comes to our Ukraine and that we can live as before when we were not afraid and our children lived under a peaceful sky,' Nataliia said. 'He can help us to cope with such a terrible misfortune that has come to us so that we can be here, live, rejoice, marry, have children and wait for grandchildren,' she added. 'Our children should be able to live calmly, grow, live quietly, work and be happy.'
