Oct. 13, 2025, 12:31 PM EDT / Updated Oct. 13, 2025, 12:41 PM EDTBy Monica Alba, Courtney Kube, Dan De Luce and Megan LebowitzWASHINGTON — Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy is expected to meet with President Donald Trump at the White House on Friday, according to an administration official, a Western official and a Ukrainian embassy spokesperson.Ukraine’s ambassador to the U.S., Olga Stefanishyna, confirmed that Trump invited Zelenskyy to a meeting this week, Ukrainian Embassy spokesperson Halyna Yusypiuk said.The visit, previously reported by the Financial Times, comes as Trump said the U.S. is considering approving Tomahawk missiles for Ukraine, adding that they would be “a new step of aggression” in that country’s war against Russia. If the administration provided the long-range missiles, it would mark a new level of U.S. support for Ukraine in the war. “We may not, but we may do it,” Trump said on Air Force One on Monday. “I think it’s appropriate to bring up — yeah, I want to. I want to see the war settled.”Trump also said he and Zelenskyy discussed the possibility of Ukraine obtaining Tomahawks by phone over the weekend. “We’ll see,” Trump said.The long-range Tomahawk missiles could theoretically be used by Ukraine to strike inside Russia. Russian President Vladimir Putin has cautioned the U.S. against supplying the weapons, saying earlier this month that it would mark a “qualitatively new stage of escalation, including in relations between Russia and the U.S.”Dmitry Medvedev, a top Russian official and former president and prime minister of the country, also said the delivery of Tomahawk missiles “could end badly for everyone, and first and foremost, for Trump himself.”Zelenskyy’s visit Friday comes on the heels of Trump’s trip to the Middle East, where he was hailed for his role in championing a peace deal that led to Hamas’ release of the remaining living hostages and Israel’s release of Palestinian prisoners.Andriy Yermak, the head of Zelenskyy’s office, said in a post to X on Monday that Ukrainian officials were on their way to Washington for “high-level talks.” Prime Minister Yulia Svyrydenko and top national security official Rustem Umerov are part of the delegation, he said. The talks aimed “to strengthen Ukraine’s defense, secure our energy resilience, and intensify sanctions pressure on the aggressor,” Yermak said in the post. Zelenskyy last visited the White House in mid-August, a few days after Trump met with Putin in Alaska. Zelenskyy was joined by a group of prominent European leaders, who acted as diplomatic backup after a tense Oval Office meeting between Trump and Zelenskyy in February.Last week, first lady Melania Trump said that she has an “open channel of communication” with President Vladimir Putin over the “welfare” of Ukrainian children believed to have been kidnapped and brought to Russia. The first lady penned a letter to Putin in August, when the U.S. and Russian presidents met in Alaska. In the letter, she called for Putin to protect “the innocence of these children.”During the 2024 campaign, Trump repeatedly claimed he could end the war in Ukraine, quickly, even within 24 hours. But during his first few months in office, he said that while he originally thought the war in Ukraine might be the “easiest” to end, Putin “let me down.”Monica AlbaMonica Alba is a White House correspondent for NBC News.Courtney KubeCourtney Kube is a correspondent covering national security and the military for the NBC News Investigative Unit.Dan De LuceDan De Luce is a reporter for the NBC News Investigative Unit. Megan LebowitzMegan Lebowitz is a politics reporter for NBC News.

Trump tells leaders 'your countries are going to hell' over migration
November 28, 2025
Nov. 28, 2025, 6:10 AM ESTBy Patrick SmithPresident Donald Trump has said he will “permanently pause” all immigration from what he called “third world countries” and demanded a program of “reverse migration” as he intensified his rhetoric after the National Guard shooting in Washington, D.C.Trump offered few details as he disparaged and vowed to remove millions of migrants in the U.S., in a lengthy social media post late on Thanksgiving that came hours after he confirmed the death of National Guard troop Sarah Beckstrom, 20, in the shooting.Officials have said that Wednesday’s attack on two troops was carried out by an Afghan national who worked with a CIA-backed group during the long war in Afghanistan. The incident has served as a catalyst for Trump to escalate his anti-immigrant rhetoric into pledges that would likely face court challenges if enacted and further undermine America’s global standing as a nation welcoming to immigrants.”I will permanently pause migration from all Third World Countries to allow the U.S. system to fully recover, terminate all of the millions of Biden illegal admissions, including those signed by Sleepy Joe Biden’s Autopen, and remove anyone who is not a net asset to the United States,” Trump wrote on Truth Social.It was not clear exactly which countries he was referring to, with the phrasing used in the past to refer to poorer nations.New details after targeted National Guard shooting02:43The president also threatened to “end all federal benefits and subsidies to noncitizens of our country” and to “denaturalize migrants who undermine domestic security.”In remarks that will cause alarm among migrant advocacy and civil liberties groups, Trump said the government would deport any foreign national who was “non-compatible with Western Civilization.”He added: “Only REVERSE MIGRATION can fully cure this situation.”The Trump administration also said Thursday that the government would reexamine the status of Green Card holders from 19 countries “of concern,” including Afghanistan. In a subsequent post, Trump said that “hundreds of thousands” of Somali migrants were “completely taking over the once great state of Minnesota.”Trump has previously threatened action against Somalis and last week said he would end temporary protective status — which prevents deportations to dangerous countries — for Somali migrants in Minnesota, many of whom have fled a brutal civil war in the east African country.It’s unclear how many people this would effect but a report made for Congress in August put the number of people covered by the program nationally at 705. The president also attacked Minnesota Gov. Tim Walk as “retarded” and said Rep. Ilhan Omar, D-Minn, who was born in Somalia, “probably came into the U.S.A. illegally” and is from a “decadent, backward, and crime ridden nation.”Trump’s threats, if enacted by legislation or executive orders, are likely to be challenged in the courts.In his first term, Trump banned people from several majority-Muslim countries in the Middle East and Africa from entering the U.S. This was challenged but eventually the Supreme Court ruled 5-4 in favor of the ban’s legality. Migrant advocacy groups have called for calm and warned against using the D.C. attack to call for a wider crackdown on immigration or to remove the rights of Afghan residents.”Using this horrific attack as an excuse to smear and punish every Afghan, every refugee, or every immigrant rips at something very basic in our Constitution and many faiths: the idea that guilt is personal, not inherited or collective,” the Council on American-Islamic Relations said in a statement early Friday.The term “third world” originated in the Cold War era to describe a country that wasn’t aligned with the western NATO alliance or the USSR and the Warsaw Pact. This later evolved into shorthand for describing economically underdeveloped nations, particularly ones with high levels of poverty.The term has been used to describe several African nations, but until the late 20th century was also attached to descriptions of China.Economists and health experts have for years said the phrase is inaccurate, derogatory and outdated. The World Bank and other global institutions no longer use the phrase and some have suggested also avoiding its successor, “developing countries.”Patrick SmithPatrick Smith is a London-based editor and reporter for NBC News Digital.
