Pence says Trump needs to bring the ‘hammer’ down on Putin with immediate new sanctions
NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles!
Former Vice President Mike Pence said Sunday that President Donald Trump needs to bring the «hammer» down on Russian President Vladimir Putin with additional secondary sanctions.
After meeting with Putin at a high-stakes summit in Alaska, Trump shifted from advocating for an immediate ceasefire deal to a broader «peace agreement» between Ukraine and Russia.
In an appearance on CNN’s «State of the Union» on Sunday, Pence described Trump’s style in dealing with dictators as the «velvet glove» approach but said he thinks «the hammer needs to come, and it needs to come immediately.»
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy is expected to meet with Trump in the Oval Office on Monday, joined by United Kingdom and European leaders. Pence said Trump, at the same time, needs to «pick up the phone and ask» Senate Majority Leader John Thune, R-S.D., «to immediately pass the secondary sanctions bill that is supported virtually by everybody in the United States Senate.»

«The combination of engagement, but also making it clear to Putin that we are prepared to take actions that would literally break his economy even while we redouble our commitment to the security of Ukraine,» Pence said.
«The last thing we want to see is for Putin to use this latest delay as a reason to continue this war all the way until the winter hits and the fighting season essentially passes in that part of the world,» he added later on. «We can’t allow Vladimir to run out the clock on the war in this year and this season. We literally have to do both things, and that is: the sanctions ought to be on the president’s desk, available for his signature while negotiations begin. That’s the most important way that we will ensure that there’s real progress toward the peace agreement.»
Pence, who served as Trump’s vice president during his first term, reiterated how Putin attacked Georgia under President George W. Bush, attacked Crimea under President Barack Obama, and invaded Ukraine after «that disastrous withdrawal» from Afghanistan under President Joe Biden.
«Putin’s made it no secret to the fact that he wants to reassert the old Soviet sphere of influence, what we used to call the evil empire in Eastern Europe,» Pence told CNN’s Jake Tapper. «I think Putin only understands strength, so while the president and his diplomatic team engage in this re-approach with Putin, and there seems to be interest, in my judgment, Putin is not going to stop until he’s stopped.»
Pence said Trump «should be commended for pursuing peace in Ukraine,» noting that the president has already secured peace agreements in Africa, Armenia and Azerbaijan.
«I think he deserves credit as leader of the free world for not giving up on Ukraine,» Pence said, claiming «there are many voices in and around the administration that would have cut Ukraine loose months ago.»

DEMOCRATS DOUBT TRUMP WILL SECURE UKRAINE CEASE-FIRE IN ALASKA SUMMIT WITH PUTIN
Pence said he wanted to commend the president for «trying to make progress,» but said he would have liked to have seen a ceasefire deal. Still, he said that «no deal is better than a bad deal.»
Based on U.S. special envoy Steve Witkoff’s description of the talks, Pence said it appeared there «was at least an ascent in Putin and Trump’s meeting to the United States providing security guarantees, and clearly, the president didn’t forfeit anything having to do with America’s national security or with the security of our allies in Eastern Europe in the midst of this war.»
Witkoff told CNN that the Trump administration is «intent on trying to hammer out a peace deal that ends the fighting permanently – very, very quickly, quicker than a ceasefire.» He also said that Trump could not agree to «any sort of land swap» on behalf of the Ukrainians. At the summit, Putin pushed for the Ukrainians to withdraw from Donetsk and Luhansk in exchange for Russian forces freezing the fronts in other areas.
«At the end of the day, it’s important to remember the bad guy here is Putin. Putin launched an unprovoked brutal invasion more than three years ago,» Pence said. «Now more than ever, America and our allies need to stand strongly with Ukraine and create the conditions for a just and lasting peace.»

Minutes before Pence spoke to CNN on Sunday morning, Trump posted to TRUTH Social, teasing: «BIG PROGRESS ON RUSSIA. STAY TUNED!»
Trump also criticized the media’s reporting about his meeting with Putin.
«It’s incredible how the Fake News violently distorts the TRUTH when it comes to me,» Trump wrote on social media earlier Sunday. «There is NOTHING I can say or do that would lead them to write or report honestly about me. I had a great meeting in Alaska on Biden’s stupid War, a war that should have never happened!!!»

«If I got Russia to give up Moscow as part of the Deal, the Fake News, and their PARTNER, the Radical Left Democrats, would say I made a terrible mistake and a very bad deal,» Trump added. «That’s why they are the FAKE NEWS! Also, they should talk about the 6 WARS, etc., I JUST STOPPED!!! MAGA.»

The Republican-controlled Indiana House returns to session on Monday to take action on congressional redistricting pushed by President Donald Trump.
And the GOP-dominated state Senate, in a major reversal, will reconvene in one week to «make a final decision on any redistricting proposal sent from the House.»
The proposed new map would create another GOP-leaning congressional district in the solidly Republican Midwestern state.
Indiana is the latest battlefield in the high-stakes redistricting showdown pitting Trump and Republicans versus Democrats to shape the 2026 midterm landscape as the GOP defends its razor-thin House majority.

State House Speaker Todd Huston announced last week that «House Republicans will gavel in on Monday, Dec. 1, reconvening the 2026 regular session. All legislative business will be considered beginning next week, including redrawing the state’s congressional map.»
Despite pressure from Trump and his political team, Rodric Bray, the Republican leader in the Indiana Senate, announced two weeks ago that there wasn’t enough support in the chamber to move forward with redistricting.
DEEP-POCKETED CONSERVATIVE GROUP ‘ALL IN’ ON HELPING TRUMP REDISTRICTING PUSH
Trump, in response, repeatedly threatened to back primary challenges against state Republican lawmakers who didn’t support his congressional redistricting push.
«A RINO State Senator, Rodric Bray, who doesn’t care about keeping the Majority in the House in D.C., is the primary problem. Soon, he will have a Primary Problem, as will any other politician who supports him in this stupidity,» Trump warned in a recent social media post.

Bray confirmed in a statement last week that the state Senate would return into session to take action on whatever redistricting proposal passes the House.
«The issue of redrawing Indiana’s congressional maps mid-cycle has received a lot of attention and is causing strife here in our state. To resolve this issue, the Senate intends to reconvene as part of the regular 2026 session on Dec. 8,» Bray wrote.
Republicans currently control seven of Indiana’s nine congressional districts, and any new map passed by the GOP supermajority in the legislature would likely shift the state’s 1st Congressional District from blue-leaning to a red-leaning seat.
Trump has been twisting elbows in his attempt to make Indiana the latest Republican-controlled state to change their congressional maps. The president has called state lawmakers and Vice President JD Vance visited the state twice earlier this autumn to discuss redistricting.

Trump has also taken some jabs at Republican Gov. Mike Braun of Indiana, arguing that the governor «perhaps, is not working the way he should to get the necessary Votes.»

While Trump has called Braun «a good man,» he has warned he «must produce on this, or he will be the only Governor, Republican or Democrat, who didn’t.»
But Braun, pointing to the president, has touted that he is «committed to standing with him on the critical issue of passing fair maps in Indiana to ensure the MAGA agenda is successful in Congress.»
NEWSOM TAKES VICTORY LAP AFTER LANDSLIDE REDISTRICTING VICTORY IN CALIFORNIA
The push by the president in Indiana is part of a broad effort by Trump’s political team and the GOP to pad the party’s razor-thin House majority ahead of the midterms, when the party in power traditionally faces political headwinds and loses seats.
Trump is aiming to prevent what happened during his first term in the White House when Democrats reclaimed the House majority in the 2018 midterm elections.
Texas, Missouri, North Carolina and Ohio have drawn new maps as part of the president’s push. And Florida and Kansas are also mulling redrawing their maps.
«We must keep the Majority at all costs,» Trump wrote recently.
But two federal judges in Texas delivered a blow to Trump and Republicans, by ruling that the state can’t use the newly drawn map in next year’s elections. The Supreme Court put in place a temporary stay on the ruling, ahead of weighing in on the dispute.
Meanwhile, Democrats are fighting back.

California voters a month ago overwhelmingly passed Proposition 50, a ballot initiative which will temporarily sidetrack the left-leaning state’s nonpartisan redistricting commission and return the power to draw the congressional maps to the Democrat-dominated legislature.
That is expected to result in five more Democratic-leaning congressional districts in California, which would counter the passage earlier this year in Texas of a new map that aims to create up to five right-leaning House seats.

Illinois and Maryland, two blue states, and Virginia, where Democrats control the legislature, are also taking steps or seriously considering redistricting.
And in a blow to Republicans, a Utah district judge last month rejected a congressional district map drawn up by the state’s GOP-dominated legislature and instead approved an alternate that will create a Democratic-leaning district ahead of the 2026 midterm elections.

La profilaxis preexposición (PrEP) y la profilaxis postexposición (PEP) son estrategias que incluyen a los medicamentos antirretrovirales para prevenir la infección por el virus de la inmunodeficiencia humana (VIH).
En el caso de la PrEP está indicada antes de una exposición potencial al virus, mientras que PEP se emplea tras una situación de riesgo. Ambas buscan evitar que el virus logre establecerse en el organismo humano.
En el marco del Día Mundial del Sida, que se conmemora cada 1° de diciembre desde 1988 con respaldo de las Naciones Unidas, un panel de expertos publicó hoy una guía con recomendaciones y 10 directrices prácticas para facilitar el acceso a PrEP y PEP en adolescentes y adultos que enfrentan situaciones de riesgo.
La guía fue publicada en la revista Canadian Medical Association Journal. Hoy, 40,8 millones de personas viven con el VIH en todo el mundo, 1,3 millones de nuevas infecciones ocurrieron en 2024, y 9,2 millones de personas aún no acceden al tratamiento, según el último reporte del programa Onusida.
A través de la publicación de la guía, se busca desarrollar una prevención más amplia, sencilla y personalizada.
La coordinación estuvo a cargo de Darrell H.S. Tan, infectólogo de St. Michael’s Hospital, en colaboración con el Instituto Canadiense de Investigación en Salud y la Red Pan-Canadiense para Ensayos Clínicos sobre VIH.
Quieren reducir nuevos casos de personas con VIH a través de la prevención combinada y el acceso temprano a opciones farmacológicas.
El objetivo es eliminar obstáculos administrativos y sociales para que quienes pueden beneficiarse con esos tratamientos accedan sin demoras ni requisitos adicionales.
La guía fue diseñada como referencia clara para el personal de la salud y para el público que busca información verificada.
Los autores de la publicación compartieron estas buenas prácticas:
- Ofrecer consejería sobre PrEP y PEP a toda persona sexualmente activa, incluidos adolescentes y usuarios de drogas inyectables, con información positiva.
- Permitir la prescripción de PrEP a cualquier adulto o adolescente que la solicite.
- Evaluar el riesgo de VIH en cada consulta y sugerir PrEP a quienes se puedan beneficiar.
- Si sexo asignado o identidad de género no están claros, el personal de salud se debe guiar para hacer la indicación según la anatomía y situación del paciente y sus parejas.
- Indicar PEP solo ante exposiciones de riesgo real y cuando la persona fuente pueda transmitir VIH.
- Realizar una prueba de VIH antes de dar PEP, sin demorar el tratamiento.
- No prescribir PEP si la persona fuente es VIH negativa, el estatus es desconocido en la población general o la persona con VIH tiene carga viral indetectable.
- En situaciones dudosas, decidir junto al paciente y nunca demorar el acceso a la terapia.
- Comenzar PEP al instante tras la exposición y seguir durante 28 días.
- Se debería involucrar a autoridades, organizaciones y sociedades científicas para promover y monitorear PrEP y PEP.
Los expertos también especificaron que los fármacos que se deberían indicar como PrEP son:
- Tenofovir disoproxil fumarato/emtricitabina: Esquema diario en comprimidos, considerado la opción preferida para la mayoría de las personas VIH negativas.
- Tenofovir alafenamida/emtricitabina: Puede ser considerado en situaciones específicas, por ejemplo, para personas con problemas renales o de densidad ósea.
- Cabotegravir de acción prolongada: Inyección intramuscular cada dos meses. En la guía afirmaron: “Recomendamos CAB-LA 600 mg como opción de PrEP”.
En tanto, los medicamentos para usar en casos de PEP son:
- Bictegravir/tenofovir alafenamida/emtricitabina
- Dolutegravir más tenofovir disoproxil fumarato/emtricitabina
Ambos esquemas deben iniciarse tan pronto como sea posible después de la exposición (máximo 72 horas) y mantenerse durante 28 días.
Esos medicamentos ya demostraron efectividad y seguridad para la prevención del VIH en personas con diferentes perfiles y necesidades, de acuerdo con las recomendaciones actualizadas de la guía.
En diálogo con Infobae, el médico Marcelo Losso, jefe de la sección de enfermedades emergentes e investigador principal de la Unidad de Investigación del Hospital Ramos Mejía y profesor de farmacología de la Facultad de Medicina de la Universidad de Buenos Aires (UBA) en Argentina, comentó sobre la publicación canadiense.
“La nueva guía de manejo de profilaxis pre y posexposición de VIH de Canadá actualiza la recomendación de ofrecer PrEP, siguiendo la posición que previamente habían tomado otros organismos de países de ingresos altos, como los CDC de Estados Unidos y la Asociación Británica de VIH, entre otros. En cambio, la OMS continúa recomendando la estrategia solo en personas de mayor riesgo”, afirmó.
Losso resaltó: “La guía canadiense expande la oferta de PrEP a todos los adolescentes y adultos que lo requieran, independientemente del resultado de su evaluación del riesgo de infectarse”.
La efectividad poblacional de la PrEP, es decir, la capacidad de la estrategia para disminuir el número de nuevos casos, depende principalmente de que una proporción sustancial de quienes la necesitan acceda a su uso.
“Actualmente, una cantidad marginal de individuos recibe PrEP respecto de quienes precisan la estrategia. Esta situación es global, no exclusiva de la Argentina o de otros países de América Latina, y se debe principalmente a la dificultad de implementar medidas preventivas relativamente complejas en población sana”, enfatizó.
El experto añadió: “Implica incorporar al sistema de salud a personas que no necesariamente consultan y luego seguirlas periódicamente, con controles y entrega de medicación. Sin duda, la prioridad actual para nuestros países de la región debería ser la expansión de la implementación de PrEP en poblaciones en riesgo, donde aún mantenemos un déficit significativo”.
