Today, President Trump and President Putin spoke about the need for peace and a ceasefire in the Ukraine war. Both leaders agreed this conflict needs to end with a lasting peace. They also stressed the need for improved bilateral relations between the United States and Russia.The blood and treasure that both Ukraine and Russia have been spending in this war would be better spent on the needs of their people.
This conflict should never have started and should have been ended long ago with sincere and good faith peace efforts. The leaders agreed that the movement to peace will begin with an energy and infrastructure ceasefire, as well as technical negotiations on implementation of a maritime ceasefire in the Black Sea, full ceasefire and permanent peace. These negotiations will begin immediately in the Middle East.
The leaders spoke broadly about the Middle East as a region of potential cooperation to prevent future conflicts. They further discussed the need to stop proliferation of strategic weapons and will engage with others to ensure the broadest possible application. The two leaders shared the view that Iran should never be in a position to destroy Israel.
The two leaders agreed that a future with an improved bilateral relationship between the United States and Russia has huge upside. This includes enormous economic deals and geopolitical stability when peace has been achieved.

And it hasn’t even been 60 days since President Trump began his second term.
“Trump ties for highest approval he’s ever had — as more Americans say US is on right track than any time in 20 years: poll”
President Donald J. Trump’s approval rating is tied for his highest ever, according to a new NBC poll — while more Americans say the country is headed in the right direction than at any point in more than two decades.
From the New York Post:
Three months into his second term, President Trump hit the highest approval rating he’s ever had as commander-in-chief — while more Americans say the country is on the right track than at any point since 2004, a new poll found … [T]he survey found that voters generally feel Trump is bringing “the right kind of change” on the key issues — even tariffs.
“U.S. Industrial Production Surges in February to Record Level, Led by Manufacturing and Autos”
U.S. industrial production smashed expectations in February, according to new data — rising to its highest-ever recorded level and surpassing the previous peak in President Trump’s first term.
From Breitbart News:
“Industrial production in the United States surged in February, rising 0.7 percent, more than triple the 0.2 percent increase economists had expected. The latest data from the Federal Reserve marks a significant expansion in industrial activity, with total output reaching its highest level on record.
Manufacturing output, which accounts for roughly three-fourths of total industrial production, rose 0.9 percent, the largest monthly gain in a year. A particularly notable driver of February’s expansion was the auto sector, where motor vehicle and parts production jumped 8.5 percent. That sharp increase stands in stark contrast to the sector’s performance during the final year of the previous administration, when auto output declined by an average of 0.5 percent per month.”
