Episode description
Two people have been reported dead and at least six injured following a shooting at Florida State University. Police say the suspect—the 20-year-old son of a sheriff’s deputy—is in custody. President Donald Trump responded to the news today, calling it a "terrible" thing, and stating, “the gun doesn’t do the shooting, the people do.”
Trump revealed that the United States and China are actively in talks amid escalating tariffs. He promised a trade deal with Europe, as Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni became the first European leader to visit the White House since the start of the reciprocal tariffs.
As U.S. officials hold peace negotiations in Europe, fighting between Russia and Ukraine continues. Trump says Russia is expected to respond to a cease-fire proposal this week. He also noted that the United States and Ukraine could sign a critical minerals deal as early as next week.
