Zelensky says Ukraine faces “a difficult choice” over Trump’s peace plan. President Trump said he expects a response from Ukraine by Thursday on the plan, which US officials hashed out with Russia. A draft that leaked to the press showed it’d require Ukraine to make significant concessions, including giving up territory and limiting the size of its army, in exchange for peace and security guarantees from the US. President Zelensky said the choice of whether to accept the plan means Ukraine would face “losing its dignity or the risk of losing a key partner.” Still, he vowed to work with the US, and said he’d spoken to Vice President JD Vance about the proposal.—SK
Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani and President Trump had a “productive” meeting. The two New Yorkers met yesterday at the White House to chat about affordability, crime, and immigration in the city. The amicable rendezvous represented a vibe shift after months of mutual gloves-off criticism, with Trump saying yesterday that the self-described democratic socialist will hopefully be “a really great mayor” and that they agree on “a lot more than I would have thought.” Mamdani said that he looks forward to working with the president to make New York more affordable.—SK
Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene to resign. The Georgia congresswoman—who was once one of President Trump’s staunchest allies but recently fell out with him over the economy, foreign policy, and the Jeffrey Epstein case—plans to step down on Jan. 5, 2026. In a statement posted to X, Greene railed against the “Political Industrial Complex” and said, “I have too much self respect and dignity, love my family too much, and do not want my sweet district to have to endure a hurtful and hateful primary against me by the President we all fought for, only to fight and win my election while Republicans will likely lose the midterms.” She also suggested that Democrats would try to impeach Trump after regaining control of the House.—AR
