Elon Musk said he's carrying out his threat to form a new political party after his fissure with President Trump, announcing on social media that he would form the America Party in response to the president's sweeping new law.

Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent criticized Elon Musk 's new political party, saying the world's wealthiest man wasn't a popular part of the Trump administration. Asked about Musk's move, Bessent told CNN's Dana Bash that the ideas behind the administration's Department of Government Efficiency effort, also known as DOGE, were "very popular."

Scaramucci has been a staunch critic of Trump since departing the White House in 2017, endorsing former Vice President Kamala Harris in the 2024 presidential race. He also had choice words for Musk, telling CNN earlier this year that the tech broligarch would do well to “lay off the gas on politics” and “stick to business.”

Zelenskyy and Trump held a strategic call addressing Ukraine's air defense needs, possible Patriot missile sales, as Russia continued its bombing campaign.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said Friday he had "an important conversation” with U.S. President Donald Trump.

President Donald Trump has faced scrutiny over his promise to end the Russia-Ukraine war within 24 hours of taking office. Critics noted that he has struggled to clarify his position, later calling the earlier remarks “sarcastic” and acknowledging the complexity of the conflict.

Trump said he was "very unhappy" about his call with Putin a day earlier, given what he called the Russian leader's refusal to work on a ceasefire.

Vladimir Putin ordered the largest-ever bombardment of Ukraine hours after coming off the phone to Donald Trump.

Trump-Zelensky call details emerged Friday, with President Donald Trump describing his conversation with Ukrainian President Zelenskyy as “very strategic.” The remarks came as Trump offered a grim update on his separate call with Russian President Vladimir Putin.
