Posting on Truth Social Friday afternoon, President Trump writes:
"I am pleased to announce that there will be a THREE DAY CEASEFIRE (May 9th, 10th, and 11th) in the War between Russia and Ukraine. The Celebration in Russia is for Victory Day but, likewise, in Ukraine, because they were also a big part and factor of World War II. This Ceasefire will include a suspension of all kinetic activity, and also a prison swap of 1,000 prisoners from each Country. This request was made directly by me, and I very much appreciate its agreement by President Vladimir Putin and President Volodymyr Zelenskyy. Hopefully, it is the beginning of the end of a very long, deadly, and hard fought War. Talks are continuing on ending this Major Conflict, the biggest since World War II, and we are getting closer and closer every day. Thank you for your attention to this matter!"

Federal agents carried out a major drug raid near downtown Los Angeles this week, targeting fentanyl and methamphetamine distribution around MacArthur Park as public safety remains a major issue in the city’s mayoral race.
Authorities arrested 18 people during Wednesday’s operation in the densely populated neighborhood west of downtown Los Angeles. The area has long faced complaints from residents over crime, open drug use, gang activity, and homeless encampments.
The raid comes as Democratic Mayor Karen Bass campaigns for a second term while pushing for increased police hiring following years of staffing shortages within the Los Angeles Police Department.
The operation also reignited debate over the city’s needle exchange programs, which critics say have contributed to ongoing problems at MacArthur Park. During a mayoral debate Wednesday night, Bass signaled she may end the needle giveaway program at the park, while other candidates remain divided on the issue.
Despite concerns from residents, police statistics show both property and violent crime are down this year compared to 2025. Still, candidates in the race acknowledge many Angelenos continue to feel unsafe.
The State Department will begin revoking U.S. passports from thousands of Americans who owe significant amounts of unpaid child support.
Officials say the first phase of the program will target people owing $100,000 or more in back child support, affecting roughly 2,700 passport holders beginning Friday.
The enforcement effort is expected to expand in the coming months to include anyone owing more than $2,500 under a federal law passed in 1996 that has historically been lightly enforced.
Federal officials say the move is aimed at increasing accountability and improving child support collection nationwide.
A Utah judge is expected to decide Friday whether cameras and livestreams will remain allowed in the courtroom during the high-profile murder case involving the man accused of killing Charlie Kirk.
Attorneys for defendant Tyler Robinson argue extensive media coverage and online commentary could influence potential jurors and interfere with his right to a fair trial.
They say courtroom broadcasts have fueled public perception of Robinson based on his behavior and appearance during hearings.
Prosecutors, media organizations, and Kirk’s family argue transparency is essential in a case that has drawn national attention and widespread speculation since Kirk was fatally shot during a speaking event at Utah Valley University last September.
Robinson faces aggravated murder charges and could receive the death penalty if convicted.
President Donald Trump says the United States is still negotiating with Iran despite a new exchange of fire in the Strait of Hormuz that tested a fragile month-long ceasefire.
Trump said Thursday that three U.S. Navy destroyers came under attack while traveling through the strategic waterway, but reported no injuries or damage to the ships. Iran claims its forces targeted American vessels after accusing the United States of violating the ceasefire.
Speaking to reporters in Washington, Trump defended the U.S. response, saying, “They trifled with us today. We blew them away.”
The president also warned Iran to quickly reach a diplomatic agreement with the United States, adding, “The talks are going very well. But they have to understand if it doesn't get signed, they're going to have a lot of pain.”
The latest clashes sent oil prices higher as concerns grow over instability in one of the world’s most important energy shipping routes.
The United States and Iran exchanged fire Thursday in the Strait of Hormuz, raising new concerns about the stability of a month-long ceasefire between the two countries.
President Donald Trump said three U.S. Navy destroyers came under attack while moving through the strategic waterway, but reported no damage to the vessels. Iran, meanwhile, accused the United States of violating the ceasefire by striking an Iranian oil tanker and civilian areas near the strait before Iranian forces responded against American ships.
The renewed fighting briefly rattled global markets, sending oil prices sharply higher as fears grow over potential disruptions to one of the world’s most critical shipping lanes.
