NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles!
President Donald Trump says Ukraine and Russia are «making progress» toward a peace agreement, but he conceded that the conflict remains «difficult» to solve.
Trump made the comments while speaking to reporters aboard Air Force One on Tuesday night, giving insight into the ongoing Ukraine-Russia talks. He went on to say that U.S. Envoy Steve Witkoff would soon be engaging in talks in Moscow, potentially alongside Trump’s son-in-law, Jared Kushner.
«We’re having good talks,» Trump said. «Ukraine is doing well. I think they’re pretty happy about it. I’d like to see it end, and we won’t know for a little while. Well, we’re making progress.»
«We settled eight wars, and I thought this would be one of the easier ones because of my relationship with President Putin, but this is probably one of the more difficult ones. There’s a lot of hatred,» he added.

Trump said that Europe is playing a large part in ensuring there are security guarantees for Ukraine to prevent any further aggression from Russia.
The Trump administration had come under scrutiny last week after presenting a 28-point peace plan to U.S. lawmakers. Some lawmakers, including Republicans, initially described it as a «wish list» for Russia.

Trump downplayed that plan while speaking Tuesday night, telling reporters that it was «just a map.»
«All that was was a map. That was not a plan. It was, a concept. And from there they’re taking each one of the 28 points, and then you get down to 22 points. A lot of them were solved and actually very favorably solved. So, so we’ll see how we’ll see what happens,» he said.

While the talks are moving quickly, Trump said he does not have a deadline for securing a deal.
«The deadline for me is when it’s over,» he said. «I think everybody’s tired of fighting at this moment. They are losing, losing too many people.»

Las aerolíneas afectadas por el fallo de Airbus anunciaron cancelaciones y retrasos en vuelos programados para el fin de semana
Varias aerolíneas en distintas regiones del mundo reportaron este viernes demoras, cancelaciones y reprogramaciones a raíz de la advertencia técnica emitida por la empresa Airbus, relacionada con aeronaves de la familia A320neo.
La compañía europea identificó un “problema de software global” en estos modelos, actualmente en operación en múltiples continentes, e instruyó a los operadores a aplicar medidas preventivas inmediatamente.
En el caso de Estados Unidos, American Airlines señaló que 340 aviones de su flota se encuentran alcanzados por el anuncio y anticipó que podrían experimentarse “algunos retrasos operativos”, aunque esperan completar las revisiones y actualizaciones “entre hoy y mañana (sábado)”.
Delta Airlines sumó que cumplirá estrictamente con las directrices de seguridad definidas por Airbus y confía en que el impacto de la medida “sea limitado”. JetBlue y United Airlines también informaron sobre las afectaciones en sus servicios, justo en uno de los momentos de mayor demanda del año por la celebración del Día de Acción de Gracias, que, según la Administración Federal de Aviación de EEUU, movilizó a millones de estadounidenses.
En Europa, la húngara Wizz Air advirtió a sus pasajeros sobre posibilidades de interrupciones en vuelos programados debido a la actualización requerida por Airbus. Desde el Reino Unido, EasyJet comunicó que está “trabajando estrechamente con las autoridades de seguridad y Airbus para implementar las medidas que se deben tomar” y aclaró que informarán directamente a los clientes sobre cambios en los vuelos.
El aeropuerto londinense de Gatwick notificó que cerca de 80 vuelos experimentaron problemas a lo largo del viernes y precisaron que la causa fue el mismo inconveniente con la familia A320neo. La terminal aérea de Heathrow informó que el mantenimiento exigido para algunos aviones Airbus A320 actualmente no afecta a sus operaciones y por este motivo, remarcó la disparidad del impacto según la flota de cada aerolínea.
Tim Johnson, director de la Autoridad de Aviación Civil de Reino Unido, mencionó en detalle: “No todas las aerolíneas vuelan con Airbus A320 o los aviones afectados, para algunas aerolíneas no habrá ningún impacto en absoluto”. Johnson sugirió a los pasajeros recurrir siempre a los canales oficiales de cada aerolínea para obtener información actualizada: “Mi consejo es consultar los sitios web y las aplicaciones de las aerolíneas para obtener la información más reciente sobre lo que está sucediendo”.
Por recomendación de la Agencia Europea de Seguridad Aérea (AESA), a partir del sábado 29 de noviembre, las aeronaves A320neo consideradas en riesgo solo podrán operar con pasajeros una vez completadas las reparaciones indicadas. Hasta tanto, se permite realizar únicamente vuelos sin pasajeros hacia los puntos de mantenimiento.
En Oceanía, Air New Zealand confirmó en sus redes sociales que el “problema de software global que afecta a los aviones Airbus A320neo” llevará a interrupciones en su operativa regular. “Como medida de precaución, todos nuestros aviones A320neo recibirán una actualización de software antes de operar su próximo servicio de pasajeros”, informó la firma en la red social X y aseguró comunicación directa con los clientes afectados.
Desde Asia, la aerolínea japonesa All Nippon Airways (ANA) reportó la cancelación de más de 60 vuelos, consecuencia de los controles y actualizaciones de sus aviones A320. El proceso de revisión puede llevar hasta cuatro horas por aeronave. Según la agencia Kyodo, el número de pasajeros afectados por estas cancelaciones se acerca a los 9.500. Japan Airlines canceló 65 vuelos por problemas con el software del Airbus A320
Entre otras erolíneas que utilizan el A320neo modelo figuran Iberia y Vueling, así como Spirit Airlines, Viva Aerobus, Indigo, AirAsia y Pegasus Airlines.
Airbus identificó el problema tras analizar un incidente reciente en el que la intensa radiación solar alteró datos esenciales para el funcionamiento de los controles de vuelo de una unidad de la familia A320. El fabricante europeo determinó que “un número significativo” de aviones podría estar expuesto y emitió una alerta mundial a los operadores, requiriendo la aplicación inmediata de soluciones de software y hardware para resguardar la seguridad.
La compañía expresó ser consciente de la magnitud de los trastornos para los pasajeros y ofreció disculpas, aunque recalcó: “La seguridad como prioridad número uno y absoluta”. Airbus aseguró que continuará colaborando con clientes y autoridades para minimizar el impacto y garantizar la protección de la flota.

Abbey Gate Gold Star father blisters Biden after Afghan national allegedly ambushes 2 National Guardsmen in DC
NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles!
EXCLUSIVE — The father of Staff Sgt. Darin «Taylor» Hoover — one of the 13 U.S. service members killed in the Abbey Gate bombing during the chaotic 2021 withdrawal from Afghanistan — is blasting the former Biden administration after an Afghan national allegedly shot two National Guardsmen just blocks from the White House.
Hoover gave Fox News Digital a new, forceful statement on Wednesday’s shooting, saying the incident was the direct result of the administration’s failed vetting of Afghan evacuees.
«This is on the feckless Biden administration,» Hoover said of the shooting. «We had no idea who was getting into this country because the Biden administration, especially the State Department run by Antony Blinken, didn’t do the work that was needed to vet all these people. There were so many people put on the planes that got out initially, that we have no idea who they were.»
He continued: «By doing this, all we got is men of fighting age that are most likely terrorists that are here in the homeland to do us all harm and take our beloved United States of America. Maybe if the Biden administration started the process earlier than the truncated timetable that they did, this could have all come out so much better, including all of our most precious men and women of our military coming home.»

The FBI is leading the investigation into the shooting, and multiple intelligence sources tell Fox News Digital the attack is being treated as a possible act of international terrorism. The suspect, identified as 29-year-old Afghan national Rahmanullah Lakanwal, was taken into custody after allegedly ambushing the two West Virginia National Guardsmen near the White House.
Fox News Digital previously reported that Lakanwal entered the United States in September 2021 under Operation Allies Welcome, immediately following the fall of Kabul, and that he had worked with several U.S. government entities, including the CIA, as part of a partner force in Kandahar.
«The individual — and so many others — should have never been allowed to come here,» former CIA Director John Ratcliffe told Fox News Digital. «Our citizens and service members deserve far better than to endure the ongoing fallout from the Biden administration’s catastrophic failures.»

Hoover says the shooting confirms what he and other Gold Star parents feared when thousands of Afghans were evacuated during the final days of the withdrawal — that many individuals were allowed into the United States without adequate screening.
«We had no idea who Biden put on those planes,» Hoover said. «None.»
Wednesday’s comments come after years of public criticism from Hoover, who has been one of the most vocal parents demanding accountability for the Abbey Gate attack that killed 13 American service members, including his son Taylor, an 11-year Marine veteran who was engaged to be married and on his third deployment to Afghanistan.

Hoover’s earlier remarks made headlines in 2024, when he reacted to President Biden falsely claiming during a presidential debate that no U.S. service members had died under his watch. At the time, Hoover told Fox News Digital that he felt «rage» hearing Biden deny the deaths of the Abbey Gate 13.
«The rage, the absolute disgust that I got from hearing him say that — I started yelling back at the TV,» he said in 2024. «He’s never acknowledged, not one time, any of our kids. He’s never said their names.»
He also revealed then that the Biden administration sent the Abbey Gate families a batch of identical condolence letters a year after the attack.
DETAILS EMERGE ON CIA UNIT ALLEGED NATIONAL GUARD SHOOTER SERVED WITH IN AFGHANISTAN
«All 13 families got a canned letter,» he said in a 2024 Fox News Digital interview. «It looked like it was a photocopy. We’ve had absolutely nothing before, nothing since.»
Hoover’s frustration at being unable to secure a meeting with Biden was also part of that earlier reporting.
«[Biden] doesn’t want to deal with us,» Hoover said in 2024. «He knows that we’re in his face, but he doesn’t want to deal with us.»
But Hoover told Fox News Digital this week that Wednesday’s shooting, allegedly carried out by an Afghan national allowed into the country during the withdrawal, is a devastating new chapter. To him, it demonstrates that the consequences of the troubled evacuation are still unfolding on American soil.
Federal officials say the investigation into the shooting remains active. Hoover says he will continue speaking out until the families of the Abbey Gate fallen receive answers — and until the former administration takes responsibility for what he believes are ongoing failures.

«This isn’t going away,» he said at the time. «We’re not going away.»
