Trump calls for healing after Charlie Kirk assassination, blames ‘radical left’
UTAH — US President Donald Trump said Saturday he hopes the United States will heal in the wake of the assassination of conservative activist Charlie Kirk, though he blamed what he called the “radical left” for fueling violence.“I’d like to see it heal,” Trump told NBC News in a telephone interview. “But we’re dealing with a radical left group of lunatics, and they don’t play fair and they never did.”Kirk, 31, was fatally shot Wednesday while addressing students at Utah Valley University in Orem, about 40 miles south of Salt Lake City. The apparent targeted attack took place despite security that included six university police officers and Kirk’s private team.Videos from the event captured the moment Kirk was struck by a bullet, sending students fleeing in panic.

Trump urges NATO to ban Russian oil, impose heavy tariffs on China to end Ukraine war
BASKING RIDGE, N.J. — US President Donald Trump said Saturday he believes the Russia-Ukraine war would end if NATO countries stopped buying oil from Russia and imposed tariffs of 50% to 100% on China for its purchases of Russian petroleum.Posting on his social media site, Trump criticized NATO’s commitment to the war effort as “far less than 100%,” calling it “shocking” that some alliance members continue to purchase Russian oil.“It greatly weakens your negotiating position, and bargaining power, over Russia,” he wrote.Since 2023, Turkey has been the third-largest buyer of Russian oil after China and India, according to the Centre for Research on Energy and Clean Air.
