But Trump has already made clear that he was going to push Zelensky to make a deal, and that would likely mean giving up Ukrainian territory, and that seems like it's going to be really tough for Zelensky to do. Zelensky has said emphatically that Ukraine will not give up land to an occupier. That said, he did say Zelensky, that is that he's open to a trilateral.

It was crowded at the Taste of the City Lounge after 3am Sunday in the Crown Heights neighborhood when multiple people opened fire. Authorities say police responded quickly and found the victims inside, plus 42 shell casings. New York City Police Commissioner Jessica Tisch says the shooting is terrible and not typical.
