    Monday, March 3rd, 2025 - Zelensky vs Trump; Russia escalates attacks; Cuomo’s comeback; Trump’s English EO; Lauren Sanchez goes to space

    Today’s Headlines: Ukrainian President Zelensky’s White House visit went completely off the rails on Friday after a press conference with Trump and VP Vance derailed a planned minerals deal. Things got heated when Zelensky explained why diplomacy doesn’t work with Putin — prompting Vance to falsely claim Zelensky had never thanked the U.S. for military aid. Trump then jumped in, warning of World War 3 and rambling about Hunter Biden. The closed-door meeting was canceled, and Zelensky was sent packing. Meanwhile, Russia ramped up attacks on Ukraine, the U.S. quietly shut down cyber operations against Russia, and Republican leaders suggested Zelensky should step down — even as he received a hero’s welcome in the UK, where PM Keir Starmer announced a new $4 billion aid package. Elsewhere, Trump signed an executive order making English the official U.S. language, Andrew Cuomo launched a NYC mayoral comeback campaign, and Lauren Sanchez will lead an all-female Blue Origin space flight with Gayle King and Katy Perry — which sounds like quite the group chat. Resources/Articles mentioned in this episode: CNN: Trump, Vance castigate Zelensky in tense Oval Office meeting  Reuters: Russian drone strike hits medical facility, other targets in Kharkiv, officials say  NY Times: Hegseth Orders Pentagon to Stop Offensive Cyberoperations Against Russia  NBC News: Speaker Johnson says Zelenskyy may have to resign after fiery Oval Office meeting BBC: Warm reception for Zelensky as he meets King at Sandringham NPR: UK, France and Ukraine agree to work on ceasefire plan for Russia's war in Ukraine NBC News: Trump signs an executive order making English the official U.S. language NY Times: Cuomo Jolts New York’s Mayoral Race as His Challengers Attack Axios: Gayle King, Lauren Sánchez to lead Blue Origin all-women crewed mission Morning Announcements is produced by Sami Sage alongside Bridget Schwartz and edited by Grace Hernandez-Johnson Learn more about your ad choices.
