Trump threatens to ‘speak’ with Putin on giving Ukraine Tomahawk missiles as Russia hits hospital
NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles!
Russia on Monday night hit a Ukrainian hospital in its continued intensive aerial campaign, just hours after President Donald Trump said he would «speak» with Moscow on giving Kyiv Tomahawk missiles in a thinly veiled threat.
Russia, which has repeatedly claimed it does not target civilians, has routinely hit hospitals throughout its more than three-and-a-half-year-long war, and injured six patients in the Kharkiv region after it hit a facility housing more than 100 patients with precision-guided KAB bombs, reported local news outlet the Kyiv Independent.
Just hours prior, Trump, while on board Air Force One Monday morning, told Fox News that he might have to «speak» with Russian President Vladimir Putin on what Russia could be facing should the U.S. hand over the sophisticated weaponry to Ukraine.

KREMLIN WARNS IT ‘COULD END BADLY FOR EVERYONE’ IF US SUPPLIES UKRAINE LONG-RANGE MISSILES
«They need Patriots very badly. They’d like to have tomahawks – that’s a step up,» Trump said following a conversation with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy on Sunday.
«They’d like to have Tomahawks. We talked about that and so we’ll see. I don’t know, I might have to speak to Russia, to be honest with you, about Tomahawks,» he added in reference to the high-precision long-range cruise missile. «Do they want to have the Tomahawks going in their direction? I don’t think so.»
Zelenskyy and Trump are set to meet in Washington on Friday to discuss Ukraine’s air defenses and advancing the pressure on Putin as Europe and the U.S. look to counter his increasingly aggressive posture.
«The main topics of the visit are air defense and our long-range capabilities to put pressure on Russia for the sake of peace,» Zelenskyy said Monday, though he noted that he will also be meeting with defense and energy officials, as well as possibly attending some meetings on Capitol Hill with lawmakers.
Ukraine has long sought more air defense as Russia has heavily relied on drone and missile assaults to pound civilian targets, including residential buildings, schools as well as maternity and children’s hospitals, since the onslaught of the war.

ZELENSKYY TOUTS ‘PRODUCTIVE’ TALKS WITH TRUMP ON STRENGTHENING UKRAINIAN AIR DEFENSE, LONG-RANGE CAPABILITIES
«Now, as the war in the Middle East is coming to an end, it is important not to lose the momentum in spreading peace. The war in Europe can also be brought to a close, and for this, the leadership of both the United States and other partners is of utmost importance,» Zelenskyy said.
Trump on Monday also suggested now that a ceasefire has been forged between Israel and Hamas – though it has not been fully realized as it can not advance to the second phase in the agreement until all deceased hostages are returned from the Gaza Strip – he wanted to turn his focus to ending the war in Ukraine.
Trump suggested that if Russia is unwilling to «settle» the war, the U.S. would send Ukraine the Tomahawk missiles it has long sought. Though it remains unclear what will prove to Trump whether Putin is interested in ending his military ambitions in Ukraine, as Putin has continued to hit civilian targets despite numerous meetings between not only him and Trump, but with other White House officials, since Trump re-entered office.

Security experts have been warning for months that Putin is not interested in ending his war in Ukraine, and will continue to pose a threat against other European nations.
«I really think that President Putin would look great if he got this settled,» Trump said. «And I think he’s going to settle it. Look, we’re going to see. And if he doesn’t, it’s not going to be good for him.»

Canadá evaluó su posible participación militar en la guerra de Irán: “Nunca se puede descartar categóricamente”
El primer ministro de Canadá, Mark Carney, afirmó que no podría descartar la participación militar de su país en la creciente guerra en Medio Oriente.
En una visita a Australia, marcada por la expansión del conflicto tras el ataque estadounidense-israelí que abatió al líder supremo iraní, Ali Khamenei, Carney fue consultado en Canberra junto al primer ministro local, Anthony Albanese, sobre la posibilidad de una intervención canadiense.
“Nunca se puede descartar categóricamente la participación”, declaró Carney, aunque calificó la cuestión de “hipotética”. En ese sentido, afirmó que Canadá apoyará a sus aliados e hizo hincapié en que “siempre defenderá a los canadienses” en primer lugar.
El líder del Partido Liberal canadiense calificó previamente los ataques contra Irán como “incompatibles con el derecho internacional”, pero expresó su respaldo a los esfuerzos para impedir que el régimen iraní obtenga armas nucleares, posición que adoptó “con pesar” al considerarla un reflejo del fracaso del orden internacional.
Carney reiteró su llamado a la “desescalada” del conflicto. Su viaje por Asia y el Pacífico busca reducir la dependencia de Estados Unidos y fortalecer lazos con otros países de “potencia media”. En el Parlamento australiano, instó a estas naciones a cooperar para influir en las nuevas reglas del sistema internacional, advirtiendo que “las grandes potencias pueden obligar, pero la coacción tiene costos”.
El primer ministro anunció la unión de Canadá y Australia como “colaboradores estratégicos” para aprovechar sus recursos minerales de tierras raras y detalló acuerdos en defensa e inteligencia artificial. “Sabemos que debemos trabajar con otros que comparten nuestros valores para construir capacidades sólidas”, dijo, alertando sobre el riesgo de quedar “atrapados entre los hiperescaladores y los hegemones”.
El líder canadiense expresó el sábado pasado el respaldo de Canadá a los ataques lanzados por Estados Unidos e Israel contra el régimen ayatollah, al que calificó como “principal fuente de inestabilidad y terrorismo en todo Medio Oriente”.
En primer lugar, reafirmó, el mismo día que estalló el conflicto, “el derecho de Israel a defenderse y a garantizar la seguridad de su población”. “Canadá respalda la actuación de Estados Unidos para impedir que Irán obtenga un arma nuclear y para evitar que su régimen siga amenazando la paz y la seguridad internacionales”, sostuvo en un comunicado.
Carney subrayó que la posición de Canadá “sigue siendo clara”: “La República Islámica de Irán es la principal fuente de inestabilidad y terrorismo en todo Medio Oriente, tiene uno de los peores historiales de derechos humanos del mundo y nunca debe permitírsele obtener o desarrollar armas nucleares”.
Carney destacó que, pese a los intentos diplomáticos, Irán “no desmanteló por completo su programa nuclear, no ha detenido todas las actividades de enriquecimiento ni ha puesto fin a su apoyo a grupos terroristas regionales que actúan como fuerzas subsidiarias”.
Finalmente, el primer ministro manifestó su solidaridad con el pueblo iraní “en su larga y valiente lucha contra el régimen opresivo de Irán”.
Ese mismo día, el presidente de Francia, Emmanuel Macron, advirtió que la escalada en Medio Oriente es “peligrosa para todos”. En un mensaje publicado en X, el mandatario señaló que el “desencadenamiento de la guerra entre Estados Unidos, Israel e Irán tiene graves consecuencias para la paz y la seguridad internacional”.
“La escalada actual es peligrosa para todos. Debe cesar. El régimen iraní debe comprender que ya no le queda otra opción que entablar negociaciones de buena fe para poner fin a su programa nuclear y balístico, así como a sus acciones de desestabilización regional”, sostuvo Macron.

American stealth bombers are expected to land at U.K. military bases within days to join the U.S.-Israel campaign against Iran, according to reports.
Citing unnamed senior Western officials, The Telegraph reported Wednesday that air bases at Diego Garcia in the Indian Ocean and RAF Fairford in Gloucestershire are being readied for the arrival of B-2 Spirit stealth bombers — the $2 billion strategic bomber is also known as the world’s most expensive aircraft.
The bombers are understood to be landing at the U.K. bases «in a matter of days» as Washington intensifies operations in the region, the outlet reported.
As previously reported by Fox News Digital, the U.S. military used stealth B-2 bombers to strike Iranian ballistic missile facilities Feb. 28 as part of the launch of Operation Epic Fury.

U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM) confirmed that B-2 stealth bombers, which were equipped with 2,000-pound bombs, struck Iranian «hardened» ballistic missile sites.
The U.S. was cleared to use British bases for limited strikes on Iran’s missile capabilities on Feb. 29 after Prime Minister Keir Starmer signed off on the plan, and while U.K. Defense Secretary John Healey stated Britain had «stepped up alongside the Americans.»
Starmer said the authorization was granted to protect U.K. and U.S. allies as the conflict escalated. He had previously said he would not allow American forces to use U.K. bases for offensive operations in the region.
Tensions have since been heightened in the U.K. by security incidents in Cyprus. RAF Akrotiri, a key British military base on the island, was struck by a suspected drone on March 2, causing minor damage.

The unmanned aircraft was reported to resemble an Iranian-made Shahed drone, similar to models used by Russia in Ukraine and by Tehran’s regional proxies.
The Ministry of Defense said force-protection measures were at the «highest level» and that the base had taken steps to defend personnel. About 4,000 service members and their families are based at RAF Akrotiri.
The U.S. State Department raised its travel advisory for Cyprus to Level 3, urging Americans to reconsider travel because of the threat of armed conflict and limited consular assistance in parts of the country.
Non-emergency embassy staff and family members were authorized to leave. Officials said the advisory change reflected adjustments in embassy operations rather than a direct change in underlying risk.

Trump had called Britain «uncooperative» and slammed Starmer as «not Winston Churchill» after Starmer initially rebuffed a U.S. request to use U.K. bases to attack Iran, according to The Associated Press.
Trump has also condemned Britain’s agreement to hand over the Chagos Islands, home to the Diego Garcia base, to Mauritius.

Unearthed video shows Dem candidate supporting ‘reallocation’ of police funding to social service programs
NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles!
A Democrat running for Congress in one of the most competitive seats in the country once said she would combat systematic racism by redirecting law enforcement funding when asked if she would «defund the police» in 2020.
«I support the reallocation of funding to programs that would allow people to live their best lives,» JoAnna Mendoza, a Marine veteran, told the Arizona Clean Elections Commission and Arizona Capitol Times at a town hall event.
«Such as social service programs. Such as housing, public education, healthcare, ensuring that we are addressing economic stability and environmental safety.»

Mendoza, who is running to represent Arizona’s 6th Congressional District, denied ever supporting defunding the police, according to her campaign.
«Jo Mendoza has been on the record for years that police need MORE resources to do their jobs – not less – including body cameras and training. And she has repeatedly stated that she does not support defunding the police,» Mendoza’s campaign said in a statement to Fox News Digital.
«Any other assertion is categorically false, a lie and a political smear from D.C. hacks hoping to save Juan Ciscomani from an early retirement,» the campaign said, referring to the GOP incumbent Mendoza is running against.
Mendoza did not clarify what she had meant by the 2020 statement. However, her campaign pointed to other comments she made in 2020.
«I do not support defunding the police. Police officers are being asked to do too much. They’re being asked to address issues because of the lack of resources in our communities,» Mendoza said in another virtual event that year.
The Republican National Committee slammed Mendoza in a statement to Fox News Digital.
«There’s no way for JoAnna Mendoza to spin her extreme anti-police views, and Arizonans will know that she sides with dangerous criminals over them,» Nick Poche, a spokesperson for the RNC, told Fox News Digital.
The «defund the police» platform, which at the time was championed by several progressive Democrats, has aged poorly, leading Republicans and Democrats to view mere mentions of the phrase as a political liability in 2026.
The movement first burst onto the scene through the outrage after the death of George Floyd, a Black Minnesota resident who died after a police arrest in which an officer pinned him to the ground by placing a knee on his neck for an extended period.
His death sparked an uproar in cities across the country over racism in law enforcement and whether police in America could do more to avoid violence during arrests.

Although the outrage over Floyd eventually subsided, many of the calls to divert resources away from police persisted as a Democratic platform, leading some cities like Minneapolis and Austin, Texas, to reduce their police budgets.
However, the movement began to draw ire from Democrats who feared the party had taken a stance that could be considered at odds with community safety and worsen their odds at the ballot box.
Rep. Jim Clyburn, D-S.C., the House Majority Whip under U.S. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., in 2021, said the phrase was «cutting the throats of the party.»
«We keep making that mistake. This foolishness about you got to be this progressive or that progressive,» Clyburn said.

Other Democratic strategists, such as James Carville, have also condemned the platform.
Carville called the slogan «the three stupidest words in the English language» in interviews in 2024 and went as far as suggesting the slogan could have led to the loss of Vice President Kamala Harris in her bid against Donald Trump.
«We could never wash off the stench of it,» Carville added.

Mendoza faces a tough race in Arizona’s 6th Congressional District. Ciscomani, the seat’s current incumbent, narrowly won election in 2024 in a 50%-47.5% victory over Democrat challenger Kirsten Engel.
The district is listed among the Cook Political Report’s most competitive races in 2026, earning one of the 18 seats with a «toss-up» designation.

Poche believes Mendoza’s previous comments have just made her bid against Ciscomani harder.
«If the Democrats think a defund-the-police radical can beat him, they’re just plain stupid,» Poche said.
