—Here are 3 big things you need to know—

 

One — President Trump says the end of the Russia-Ukraine war may be near.  Trump spoke with Ukrainian President Zelensky for about an hour yesterday and said it was a very good call.  In a post on Truth Social, Trump said the call was focused on what he and Russian President Putin talked about yesterday so they could align both Ukraine and Russa in terms of what they are asking for. 

 

Two ---- A man accused of pointing a gun at CIA headquarters in McLean, Virginia today is in custody.  The incident caused a large police response to what officials called a barricade situation.  A SWAT team and bomb squad were reported to be on the scene.

 

 

And number three —   The Federal Reserve is not changing interest rates.  It comes as Fed Chair Jerome Powell has said they are not in a hurry to cut rates.  Meanwhile, tensions remain between the U.S. and trade partners as President Trump moves forward with tariffs.
