President Trump confident Putin wants peace with Ukraine, thinks he’s ‘had enough’ of war
Following his phone calls with the leaders of Russia and Ukraine, President Donald Trump appeared confident that peace talks between the two warring nations will soon be progressing.
In response to a reporter’s question outside the White House on Monday, Trump said that he believes Russian President Vladimir Putin is genuine in his seeking a peace deal.
«President Trump, do you think Vladimir Putin wants peace?» the reporter shouted across the lawn.
Trump stopped and responded: «I do. Yes.»
«Do you still trust Putin?» the reporter continued, to which Trump responded: «I do.»

Speaking later that same day, after an event honoring fallen law enforcement officers in the White House, Trump said that he believes Putin has «had enough» of the war.
«I think he’s had enough. I think he’s had enough. It’s been a long time. This has been going on for more than three years. When you think, it’s been going on for a long time,» said the president.
Meanwhile, Trump seemed less confident in Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy. Asked whether Zelenskyy is doing enough to help the peace talks process along, Trump responded: «I’d rather tell you in about two weeks from now, because I can’t say yes or no.»
«Look, he’s a strong person, Zelenskyy, a strong guy, and he’s not the easiest person to deal with,» said Trump. «But I think that he wants to stop, and it’s a very bad thing that’s happening over there. I think he wants to stop. But I could answer that question better in two weeks or four weeks from now. I hope the answer is that he wants to get it solved.»

Trump also commented on newly inaugurated Pope Leo XIV, saying he would like to help facilitate peace between the two nations. Trump said that it would be «great» to have the peace talks at the Vatican.
«There’s tremendous bitterness, anger, and I think maybe that could help some of that anger,» said Trump.
Trump and Putin held a two-hour call on Monday in what the U.S. said was a push to get Russia to end its deadly war in Ukraine.
Both Trump and Putin described the call in a positive light, with the Kremlin chief saying it was «frank» and «useful,» but it is not immediately clear what results were achieved.
Trump took to social media to praise the call as having gone «very well» and said, «Russia and Ukraine will immediately start negotiations toward a Ceasefire and, more importantly, an END to the War.»

«The conditions for that will be negotiated between the two parties, as it can only be, because they know details of a negotiation that nobody else would be aware of,» he added.
Putin, in a statement after the call, also noted that «a ceasefire with Ukraine is possible» but «Russia and Ukraine must find compromises that suit both sides.»
Any concrete details on the nature of these compromises remain unclear, despite negotiation attempts in Turkey on Friday, which Trump suggested failed because he needed to negotiate with Putin first.
In the lead up to the talks, Trump also spoke with Zelenskyy, along with other world leaders like U.K. Prime Minister Keir Starmer and French President Emmanuel Macron, who said they discussed the urgent need for Putin to agree to an unconditional ceasefire or face serious repercussions, including more sanctions.

Russia currently occupies about 20% of Ukraine’s landmass. However, the Russian military’s advance has significantly slowed to a virtual stalemate.
In October, Fox News Digital reported that Russia has suffered some 600,000 casualties in its war with Ukraine — more than its losses in every conflict since World War II combined.

Cuadro robado por los nazis: la justicia de Mar del Plata investiga a las hijas de un exmiembro de las SS
El cuadro robado por los nazis y detectado en Mar del Plata sigue desaparecido. No fue encontrado por personal de la Policía Federal que allanó este martes la casa donde fue encontrado por periodistas de un diario neerlandés.
El fiscal Carlos Martínez, que lleva la causa, afirmó que la pintura no estaba en la vivienda. “No está el cuadro, solo se secuestró una carabina y un revólver calibre 32”, dijo.

El diario local La Capital dijo que los agentes que llevaron adelante el allanamiento advirtieron un cambio en la decoración de la casa en relación a las imágenes que se habían publicado en el aviso de venta activo hasta el domingo y en el que se veía la pintura colgada en una sala de estar.
La investigación la lleva adelante la Unidad Federal Fiscal marplatense. En forma paralela, Interpol emitió alertas nacionales e internacionales para evitar que la pintura “Retrato de una Dama”, del artista italiano Giuseppe Ghislandi, salga del país.
La casa había sido puesta a la venta por una de las hijas del exoficial de la SS Friedrich Kadgien, que escapó a la Argentina en los años 50 y donde murió en 1978. Según supo TN, la mujer estuvo presente en el allanamiento.
La agencia de Patrimonio Cultural de los Países Bajos afirma que el ex alto funcionario nazi le robó la pintura al galerista judío Jacques Goudstikker, cuya colección de obras de arte fue expoliada por los nazis.
Cómo fue hallada en Mar del Plata la pintura robada por los nazis
El caso fue destapado el lunes por una investigación del diario Algemeen Dagblad, de Rotterdam.
La pista era seguida desde hace años, pero las hijas de Kadgien, cuyos nombres se reservan, siempre se negaron a hablar del tema, contó a TN el corresponsal del periódico, Peter Schouten. El “Retrato de una dama”, del pintor italiano Giuseppe Ghislandi. (Foto: Cortesía/Algemmen Dagblad).
Sin embargo, un descuido reveló el misterio. Una de las hermanas puso a la venta su casa y entre las fotos publicadas por la inmobiliaria se ve lo que parece ser el cuadro de Ghislandi colgado sobre un sillón de la sala de estar.
TN intentó comunicarse vía WhatsApp con la dueña de la casa, pero no recibió respuesta. El último mensaje ni siquiera llegó a la destinataria.
El aviso de venta fue retirado el lunes por la Inmobiliaria Robles Casas & Campos después que se revelara el caso. Incluso, TN supo que una de las hijas de Kadgien cambió su apellido en su cuenta de Instagram por el de su exmarido.

Otro cuadro del reconocido pintor holandés Abraham Mignon también estaría en manos de la misma familia, aunque se desconoce quiénes podrían ser sus dueños originales.
Esa obra fue ubicada por expertos de la Agencia de Patrimonio neerlandés en una foto publicada por una de las hijas de Kadgien en sus redes sociales, según reveló el diario neerlandés. Esta pintura figura como desaparecida en los archivos oficiales.
De quién era la pintura hallada en Mar del Plata
La pintura de Ghislandi pertenecía a la colección del marchante judío neerlandés Jacques Goudstikker.
El galerista escapó de Ámsterdam tras la invasión alemana de 1940, pero murió durante el viaje en barco cuando huía a Nueva York con su esposa e hijo. En su local quedaron 1113 obras de arte de su propia colección, todas documentadas. Kadgien llegó a la Argentina tras pasar por Brasil. (Foto: gentileza AD).
Durante la ocupación nazi, el banquero alemán Alois Mield compró la galería y todos sus obras, pero esta operación jamás fue reconocida por los herederos de Goudstikker. El mariscal del Reich Herman Göring y otros funcionarios nazis, como Kadgien según sospechan en los Países Bajos, adquirieron los cuadros por un valor de remate.
Tras el fin de la guerra, Kadgien escapó primero a Suiza. Desde allí viajó a Brasil y finalmente a la Argentina, donde fundó una empresa, formó una familia y vivió sin ser molestado hasta su muerte en 1978.
Como mano derecha de Göring, fue uno de los expertos financieros más importantes del régimen nazi. Se cree que manejó fondos millonarios del Tercer Reich que nunca aparecieron. De hecho, muchos lo conocían como “el mago de las finanzas” del nazismo.
Ahora, los herederos de Goudstikker reclaman la revolución de la pintura hallada en Mar del Plata.

Democrats are expressing outrage that alleged gang member and illegal immigrant Kilmar Abrego Garcia may be deported to Uganda.
In the latest turn in Abrego Garcia’s high-profile immigration case, the alleged MS-13 gang member was arrested by ICE at an immigration check-in at a Baltimore facility on Monday and is now facing possible deportation to Uganda.
U.S. District Judge Paula Xinis, an Obama appointee, ruled on Monday to temporarily block Abrego Garcia’s deportation, ordering he stay detained in the U.S. pending a hearing. Xinis ordered Abrego Garcia be kept at the same facility he was moved to in Virginia.
Sen. Chris Van Hollen, D-Md., who has been leading the charge of Democrats advocating for Abrego Garcia, expressed outrage over his arrest and possible deportation on Monday, saying, «ICE is holding Kilmar Ábrego García and refusing to answer questions from his lawyers — while the Trump Admin continues to spread lies about his case.»

«Instead of spewing unproven allegations on social media, they need to put up or shut up IN COURT,» he went on, adding, «Mr. Ábrego García must be allowed to defend himself.»
This follows Salvadoran Abrego Garcia being released from federal custody on Friday in Tennessee, where he was being held pending his trial for charges of human smuggling of illegal immigrants in the U.S.
Earlier this year, Abrego Garcia was deported by the Trump administration to his home country of El Salvador, but after Democratic uproar over an alleged lack of due process and a Supreme Court ruling ordering his return, he was eventually returned to the U.S. to stand trial.
According to an earlier X post by Van Hollen, the senator met with Abrego Garcia virtually on Sunday to discuss his «long and torturous nightmare» of being deported and standing trial for human smuggling.

Van Hollen wrote that «during our conversation, I shared with him that I and many others have been fighting for months to ensure that his constitutional due process rights were respected despite Trump’s efforts to deny them at every turn.»
«The courts & public outcry forced Trump to return him to MD, but Trump’s cronies keep lying about his case & are engaged in a malicious abuse of power to try to deport him to Uganda,» wrote Van Hollen, adding, «As I told Kilmar, I won’t stop fighting for justice & due process for all.»
Van Hollen was not the only Democrat to express outrage over the Van Hollen’s arrest.
Sen. Elizabeth Warren, D-Mass., also took to X to denounce the Trump administration, which she said, «wrongly sent Kilmar Abrego Garcia to a horrific El Salvadoran prison.»
«Now, just days after he was reunited with his family, they’re trying to deny him his rights and deport him to Uganda. Kilmar—like everyone—deserves a fair hearing to defend himself,» wrote Warren.

Meanwhile, Rep. Jasmine Crockett, D-Texas, a prominent Democratic voice and vocal Trump critic, also drilled into the administration, saying, «Let’s be clear: deporting Kilmar Abrego Garcia to Uganda makes no sense—it’s not his home country.»
«Nothing about this process has been fair,» she wrote. «ICE is targeting him with cruelty. This is the weaponization of government, not justice.»
Rep. Glenn Ivey, D-Md., who joined a rally advocating for Abrego Garcia earlier on Monday, wrote that «Mr. Abrego Garcia must not be sent to some third party country like Uganda.»
Ivey wrote that «the people united will continue to seek justice for Kilmar!»

In response, the Department of Homeland Security posted on its official X account, «Kilmar Abrego Garcia is not and will never be a Maryland Man—he is a criminal illegal alien from El Salvador and public safety threat.»
DHS called it «insane» that «sanctuary politicians chose to glorify and stand with an MS-13 gang member over the safety of American citizens.»
The agency said that Trump and Secretary Kristi Noem «are not going to allow this illegal alien—who is an MS-13 gang member, human trafficker, serial domestic abuser, and child predator—to terrorize American citizens any longer.»
Meanwhile, White House spokeswoman Abigail Jackson told Fox News Digital that, «Democrats have proven that they care more about a criminal illegal alien MS-13 member who beat his wife than they do about the safety and security of the American people.»

«The Trump Administration will never apologize for fulfilling our promise to deport criminal illegal aliens,» said Jackson.
Chris Newman, an attorney for Abrego Garcia’s family, categorically denied DHS’ allegations, telling Fox News Digital, «None of those things are true, full stop.»

«The problem here is that the administration is trying its hardest to litigate this case through the media, as opposed to through courts of law,» said Newman.
He said that «in essence» what the Trump administration has done «is to use the highest office in the land to blackmail an innocent man into sacrificing his constitutional rights.»
«And we’ve been fighting against that both and winning in court even as the Trump administration insists on polluting the public debate with lies.»
In an emailed statement sent to Fox News Digital, Ivey accused Trump of ignoring the law.
«When I prosecuted, MS 13 cases, we indicted, tried the case, won the convictions, sentence them to jail time, and did not support them until after they had served jail their sentence,» said Ivey. «That way, we followed the constitution and the law. The Trump administration is ignoring both. They want to deport them without giving them the day in court that the Supreme Court has required. And they want to jail them indefinitely even though they haven’t been convicted of a crime. That’s wrong and I’ll continue to fight against it.»
