President Donald Trump has issued what he called a “last warning” to Hamas to release all remaining hostages held in Gaza. He also met with eight released hostages and recently dispatched an envoy for unprecedented direct talks with the militant group.

In a blistering social media post, the president told Hamas that if it continued to hold hostages, “you are DEAD!”

Trump administration officials say the halt in assistance is a warning to the Ukrainians of the consequences of not cooperating with the president.

The U.S. has paused its intelligence sharing with Ukraine, cutting off the flow of vital information that has helped Kyiv defend against Russian invaders.

CIA Director John Ratcliffe says pause is leverage against Ukrainian President Zelenskyy for peace talks but lawmakers say people could die as result.
