Trump 2nd term updates: Trump excludes low-value shipments from looming tariffs

Ian Bremmer, the president of Eurasia Group, told ABC News that “Trump threw Zelenskyy under the bus.”

"All the Europeans are now standing up for Ukraine -- but how much they can do and how quickly is a critical question. It’s a clear break inside NATO -- starting from Munich and now directly from the U.S. president," he said.

"Trump is much more likely now to cut a deal directly with Putin, over the heads of allies. It’s a nightmare scenario for them," Bremmer added.

Russian officials are cheering President Trump and Vice President JD Vance's rebuking of Zelenskyy at the White House.

"A fierce scolding in the Oval Office," said Dmitry Medvedev, Russia's former president who currently serves as deputy chair of the Security Council of the Russian Federation.

"The ungrateful pig got a hard slap in the face from the owners of the pigsty. It's useful," Medvedev added.

Kirill Dmitriev, Putin's assistant and head of the Russian Direct Investment Fund, who took part in the recent talks between the United States and Russia in Saudi Arabia, commented on the video of the dispute between Trump and Zelensky in the Oval Office: "Historic."

The union representing NOAA and National Weather Service staffers told ABC News that they've been informed of 586 probationary employees terminated from NOAA Thursday, with 108 of those cuts coming from the National Weather Service.

"We understand that an additional 800 NOAA probationary employees may be terminated this afternoon," National Weather Service Employees Organization General Counsel Richard Hirn told ABC News in an emailed statement.

NOAA declined to confirm the number of staffers affected by the cuts in a statement to ABC News earlier today, saying they "don't discuss personnel matters."

Pennsylvania Republican Rep. Brian Fitzpatrick, a Ukraine ally on Capitol Hill, said in a statement that "it was heartbreaking" to witness the "events that transpired in today's meeting" at the White House.

"This can and will be fixed. A strong, sovereign Ukraine is essential for global stability in the face of Putin's ongoing aggression. Lasting peace can only be achieved through unwavering strength," he said.

GOP Reps. Don Bacon of Nebraska and Rep. Mike Lawler of New York were also critical in separate posts on X regarding what transpired today at the White House and if Ukraine's future is impacted.

"Diplomacy is tough and often times there are serious differences of opinion and heated exchanges behind closed doors. Having this spill out into public view was a disaster — especially for Ukraine," Lawler said.
