President Donald Trump said he was hopeful that Russia’s war in Ukraine was nearing an endgame as he met on Monday with French President Emmanuel Macron on the third anniversary of the invasion. The pair are speaking at a joint press conference in Washington.

WASHINGTON (AP) — The turmoil that enveloped the federal workforce over the last few days is unlikely to cease anytime soon as the U.S. government’s human resources agency considers how to fulfill Elon Musk ’s demands.

President Donald Trump is backing Elon Musk’s demand that federal employees explain their recent accomplishments or risk getting fired.

The Trump administration on Monday told federal agencies they don't have to direct workers to comply with Elon Musk's request for information about their activities at work -- and that doing so is voluntary, according to two sources familiar with the matter.

President Donald Trump and members of his second administration are continuing their effort to swiftly remodel the federal government, including making far-reaching changes to personnel. The president on Sunday named Dan Bongino, a podcaster and former Fox News host, as deputy FBI director to serve under newly confirmed Director Kash Patel.

The French president told The Independent that Trump had been ‘very friendly, as always,’ despite not greeting him upon arrival at the White House

The president said Elon Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency has found “hundreds of billions of dollars in fraud” as he suggested that federal paychecks are going to nonexistent employees.

The United States voted with Russia, North Korea, Belarus and 14 other Moscow-friendly countries Monday against a resolution condemning Russian aggression in Ukraine and calling for its occupied territory to be returned. The measure passed overwhelmingly in the U.N. General Assembly.

President Trump said federal employees who don’t respond to Musk’s email may end up “semi-fired” or “fired” — or may “not even exist.”
