Trump and Putin’s relationship turns sour as president pushes for resolution with Ukraine

NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles!
While President Donald Trump previously refrained from speaking ill of Russian President Vladimir Putin, those days are over.
The ongoing war between Russia and Ukraine has changed the nature of their dynamic. Although the two appeared to get along, at least publicly, during Trump’s first administration, their relationship has unraveled as the more recent conflict persists.
In recent weeks, Trump has refused to mince his words when asked about Putin. Trump said during a Cabinet meeting July 8 he was fed up with Putin and said he was eyeing potentially imposing new sanctions on Russia.
«We get a lot of bulls— thrown at us by Putin, if you want to know the truth,» Trump said. «He’s very nice all the time, but it turns out to be meaningless.»

John Hardie, Russia program deputy director at the Foundation for Defense of Democracies, said Russia started to attract ire from Trump dating back to March after Ukraine agreed to a 30-day ceasefire. But Russia has failed to get on board with a ceasefire.
«Really, since then, I think Trump has come to view the Russians as the main impediment to a deal,» Hardie told Fox News Digital Thursday.
Additionally, Hardie said that Trump has also grown frustrated that Russia will launch drone and missile attacks against Ukraine, even after directly speaking with Putin.
«What he’s sort of latched on to are these Russian drone and missile barrages,» Hardie said. «That really seems to resonate with him.»
Tensions only have continued to escalate between the U.S. and Russia since the July Cabinet meeting.
Trump announced July 14 that he would sign off on «severe tariffs» against Russia if Moscow failed to agree to a peace deal within 50 days. He then dramatically reduced the deadline to only 10–12 days — which ends Friday.
The decision to reduce the timeline prompted former Russian President Dmitry Medvedev to caution that «each new ultimatum is a threat and a step towards war.»

In addition to economic sanctions, Trump responded to Medvedev and issued a rare statement disclosing that two U.S. Navy submarines would be moved in response to escalating threats from Russia.
«I have ordered two Nuclear Submarines to be positioned in the appropriate regions, just in case these foolish and inflammatory statements are more than just that,» Trump said Aug. 1.
Trump’s disclosure of the submarine presence puts additional pressure on Russia to come to the negotiating table, according to Bryan Clark, a retired submarine officer and director of the Hudson Institute think tank’s Center for Defense Concepts and Technology.
«We have used very sparingly submarines to try to influence adversary behavior before, but this is pretty unusual, to do it against a nuclear-powered adversary like Russia in response to a nuclear threat by Russia,» Clark told Fox News Digital Monday. «So I think this is trying to essentially push back on Russia’s frequent and long-standing threats to use nuclear weapons in part of the Ukraine conflict.»

President Donald Trump’s disclosure of the submarine presence puts additional pressure on Russia to come to the negotiating table, according to Bryan Clark, a retired submarine officer.
Momentum is picking up on negotiations though, and U.S. Special Envoy Steve Witkoff met with Putin Wednesday.
Trump said in a post on Truth Social afterward that «great progress» was made during the meeting. And now, Trump and Putin are expected to meet face to face imminently in an attempt to finally advance negotiations to end the war between Russia and Ukraine.
Still, Hardie said he is skeptical that the meeting between Putin and Trump will result in meaningful progress.
«I don’t expect a summit to produce much,» Hardie said. «And I think Putin could try to use the summit to placate Trump and kind of buy more time continues assault on Ukraine, but I think his goal is he’d love to be able to enlist Trump in his effort to impose these harsh terms on Ukraine.»
Russia has pushed for concessions in a peace deal that include barring Ukraine from joining NATO, preventing foreign peacekeeper troops from deploying to Ukraine after the conflict, and adjusting some of the borders that previously were Ukraine’s.

It’s unclear if Trump plans to announce any additional economic burdens upon Russia Friday in accordance with the deadline that he imposed demanding that Russia signal willingness to end the conflict. But according to Trump, the ball is in Putin’s court.
«It’s going to be up to him,» Trump told reporters Thursday. «We’re going to see what he has to say. It’s going to be up to him. Very disappointed.»
The White House did not disclose any details regarding potential Friday sanctions, but said that Trump wants to meet with Putin and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Putin to resolve the conflict.
«The Russians expressed their desire to meet with President Trump, and the President is open to this meeting,» White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt said in a statement to Fox News Digital. «President Trump would like to meet with both President Putin and President Zelensky because he wants this brutal war to end. The White House is working through the details of these potential meetings and details will be provided at the appropriate time.»

List of countries taking in illegal immigrant deportees grows with latest African partners

NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles!
President Donald Trump’s mass deportation efforts gained new momentum this week when Rwanda signed a formal third-country agreement, part of a broader push to partner with nations willing to accept deportees whose home countries refuse to take them back or present other barriers.
RWANDA
Officials in Rwanda agreed to take in 250 illegal immigrants in a deal forged with the State Department Tuesday, joining nearly a half-dozen other nations that have done the same.
When the talks between Washington and Kigali began earlier this year, Rwandan Foreign Minister Olivier Nduhungirehe said the idea is not new to his country, as it previously forged a similar deal with the United Kingdom that was nixed by a London court.
Illegal immigrants deported from the U.S. will be given help to get back on their feet, according to a spokesperson for Rwandan President Paul Kagame.
They will need to be individually approved for resettlement and then receive «workforce training, healthcare and accommodation to jump-start their lives in Rwanda,» the spokeswoman, Yolande Makolo, told the BBC.

ESWATINI/SWAZILAND
In another African nation, Eswatini, named Swaziland until 2018, five foreign nationals were deported from the U.S. to Mbabane in July.
But that operation reportedly lacked the same formal third-country agreement as Rwanda.
The tiny landlocked country, the last absolute monarchy on the continent, abuts Mozambique and South Africa.
The deported men were all convicted of crimes ranging from battery to murder to gang activity and methamphetamine-related offenses.
«This flight took individuals so uniquely barbaric that their home countries refused to take them back,» DHS Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin said in a statement.
«These depraved monsters have been terrorizing American communities, but thanks to [Trump and Secretary Kristi Noem] they are off of American soil.»
The convicts hailed from Vietnam, Jamaica, Laos, Cuba and Yemen.
A spokesman for King Mswati III, who has ruled Eswatini since 1986, told the BBC Eswatini hopes to «facilitate» returning the criminals to their homelands.
SOUTH SUDAN
South Sudan also received eight deportees in July.
Boston federal Judge Brian Murphy issued a preliminary injunction blocking Sudanese deportations and others, ruling migrants needed opportunities to file for protection under a U.S. diplomatic Convention Against Torture (CAT) that precludes expatriation to dangerous countries.
The Supreme Court later stayed Murphy’s ruling.
EUROPEAN NATION AGREES TO ‘TEMPORARILY’ HOST DEPORTED IMMIGRANTS FROM US AMID TRUMP PUSH
COSTA RICA
In February, Costa Rica agreed to accept 200 deported migrants, which included some foreign nationals from India, according to VisaVerge. That nation’s law allows temporary migrant sheltering.
The government in San Jose also reportedly forged a $7.8 million deal in which the U.S. would help it deport immigrants, according to Reuters. The wire service further confirmed the February report.
PANAMA
Also in February, Panama’s foreign ministry told CBS News its first flight of about 200 non-Panamanian deportees arrived from the U.S. under another agreement forged with Washington.
The U.S. will cover the cost of those deportations, which included migrants of mostly Asian descent, from countries like China, Uzbekistan, Nepal, India and Vietnam. Migrants from as far afield as Cameroon and Iran were also reportedly among the group.
EL SALVADOR
The most visible country to aid in deportation efforts has been El Salvador, where congressional Democrats flew after a suspected human trafficker living in Maryland was deported to its infamous CECOT prison.

Democrats like Hunter Biden have called out the Trump administration for the effort, which has been met by incredulous responses, such as a retort from Salvadoran president Nayib Bukele.
Bukele poked fun at Biden’s past drug use in response, asking on X if he was «sniffing powdered milk» when the former first son claimed he would threaten to invade El Salvador if he were elected president and if it refused to return deportees.
Sen. Chris Van Hollen, D-Md., was the first to fly to San Salvador to visit Garcia, a trip that appeared to inspire more Democrats to go and others to attempt to gain entry into domestic ICE sites in Newark, Baltimore and New York City.

La historia detrás del imbatible récord que Jonathan Edwards mantiene vigente después de 30 años

El 7 de agosto de 1995, el estadio Ullevi en Gotemburgo, Suecia, fue testigo de un momento que marcó un antes y un después en el atletismo. Durante el Campeonato Mundial de Atletismo, Jonathan Edwards, representante de Gran Bretaña, desafió los límites de la disciplina al lograr un salto de 18,29 metros en la prueba de triple salto masculino. Este logro no solo le otorgó la medalla de oro, sino que lo enalteció como protagonista de una de las gestas más impresionantes y perdurables del deporte mundial.
El desarrollo de la prueba fue vertiginoso. En su primer intento, Edwards rompió la barrera simbólica de los 18 metros, transformándose en el primer atleta masculino en lograrlo dentro de una competencia oficial. La hazaña no se detuvo allí; en su segundo salto, extendió su propio récord, aterrizando a 18,29 metros, estableciendo una distancia que ningún rival pudo aproximar. El principal contendiente, Brian Wellman de Bermudas, quedó relegado a más de medio metro por detrás, un margen inédito en una final de este nivel.
La superioridad de Edwards quedó consolidada con su tercer intento de 17,49 metros, que si bien fue inferior a los dos anteriores, bastó para sellar su dominio y asegurar la medalla dorada.
La magnitud de la marca alcanzada por Edwards se evidenció en la reacción tanto del público como del propio protagonista, que no tardó en mostrar sorpresa y satisfacción tras observar el resultado en la pantalla gigante del estadio. “Pensé que fácilmente podría no ganar”, recordó en declaraciones levantadas por CNN. Y agregó: “Tenía la posibilidad de no ganar, y eso sería un desastre, a pesar de haber saltado tan bien durante todo el año”.
En las entrevistas posteriores, transmitió su alegría por haber logrado algo que ningún otro hombre había hecho antes: superar y mejorar la marca histórica del triple salto. Lejos de considerarse una figura poderosa dentro del atletismo, resaltó sus características físicas poco convencionales —piernas delgadas y escasa contextura muscular— como elementos que hacían aún más sorprendente su éxito. Para él, la experiencia de convertirse en el mejor del mundo se tornó excepcional, tanto en términos deportivos como personales.
Además, el récord redefinió la competición en Gotemburgo: tras los dos saltos exitosos de Edwards, la lucha por el oro quedó prácticamente resuelta, enfocando la atención global en el alcance de la marca en sí.

Desde 1995, ningún otro atleta consiguió superar el registro de 18,29 metros, lo que confiere al salto de Edwards un estatus especial dentro del atletismo de élite. En treinta años, la marca se ha convertido en una referencia histórica y, según los especialistas citados por CNN, representa uno de los récords más sólidos de la era moderna.
En términos comparativos, solo dos récords masculinos en pruebas de campo han mostrado una vigencia similar o mayor: el de Mike Powell en salto de longitud (8,95 metros alcanzados en 1991) y el de Javier Sotomayor en salto de altura (2,45 metros logrados en 1993).

El propio Edwards atribuye su éxito a una combinación única de velocidad y ligereza, poco habitual en un deporte que, con el paso de los años, ha tendido a priorizar la potencia muscular sobre las cualidades aerodinámicas y la velocidad de carrera.
Mientras la mayoría de los competidores más recientes presentan una complexión más robusta, Edwards destaca que su método remitía a una suerte de “rebote” más que a un salto tradicional, permitiéndole mantener una velocidad máxima durante las distintas fases del salto, algo que pocos han logrado replicar. En su análisis, el predominio actual de saltadores más potentes física y muscularmente ha hecho que la técnica rápida y fluida que él supo explotar resulte menos frecuente y, en la práctica, casi inalcanzable.

Edwards destacó no solo por su rendimiento deportivo, sino también por la singularidad de su trayectoria personal y motivacional. Su impulso inicial hacia el deporte profesional se cimentó más en convicciones personales que en ambiciones estrictamente deportivas. La fe cristiana jugó un papel decisivo durante sus primeros años, otorgando sentido a su carrera y brindando una perspectiva que le permitió afrontar la presión de la alta competencia desde una dimensión espiritual.
El entorno familiar, en particular su padre —vicario de la Iglesia de Inglaterra—, lo animó a identificar y potenciar el talento recibido, bajo una ética de responsabilidad y aprovechamiento de los dones personales. Esta actitud forjó una resiliencia notable, que le permitió sobrellevar la exigencia de una disciplina tan compleja como el triple salto.
Su expresión más memorable fuera de la pista se produjo en Lille, Francia, en 1995, donde realizó un salto no oficial de 18,43 metros que, si bien superaba su propio récord, fue invalidado por las condiciones de viento. Ese momento, más allá de la validación oficial, representó el cenit técnico de su carrera, y subrayó que alcanzar la perfección en esta disciplina depende de múltiples elementos que rara vez coinciden.
