The Kremlin has denied reports that Donald Trump spoke to Vladimir Putin in recent days, and said the Russian president did not yet have concrete plans to speak to the US president-elect.
But the Kremlin said the reports were incorrect. “This is completely untrue. This is pure fiction, it’s just false information,” said the Kremlin spokesperson, Dmitry Peskov. “There was no conversation.”
During his campaign, Trump said he would find a way to end the war “within a day”, but did not provide further details, leading to fears from many in Kyiv of what this could entail.
Trump says former Ice director Tom Homan will be in charge of borders and deportations
In a post on his Truth Social platform, Trump said Homan’s areas of control would include “the southern border, the northern border, all maritime, and aviation security” and that as “border czar” Homan would preside over deportations.
Trump ran a campaign that centered on immigration, with promises of mass deportations and detaining migrants in camps, and had praised Homan on the campaign trail, telling Fox News in July: “I have Tom Homan lined up, we have the greatest people.” Homan, who is a visiting fellow at the Heritage Foundation and a Project 2025 author, vowed in July to “run the biggest deportation force this country has ever seen” if Trump was re-elected.
Netanyahu seeks to delay testimony in corruption case, citing war

Netanyahu’s legal team said “this small delay will enable the defence to properly prepare for his testimony and won’t harm the public interest”.
