President Donald Trump hosted NATO Secretary-General Mark Rutte for a meeting at the White House on Thursday. The president said earlier that he would put a 200 percent tariff on all wines and other alcoholic products from the European Union if the bloc did not remove its tariff on U.S. whiskey.
Russian President Vladimir Putin has said that Russia agrees in principle with U.S. proposals for a cease-fire in Ukraine, but that any cease-fire should lead to long-term peace and would have to deal with the root causes of the conflict.
The White House has withdrawn President Donald Trump’s nomination of former Republican congressman and vaccine critic Dave Weldon to serve as director of the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, a source familiar with the matter confirmed to The Epoch Times on March 13.
