What to Know

- Trump and Starmer discussed doing more to feed the starving population in Gaza in and in a major recalibration of U.S. policy toward the territory, suggesting that Israel “has a lot of responsibility” for what’s happening.
- Trump shortened the deadline for Russia to end the war in Ukraine, saying he would give Putin 10-12 days before implementing “severe tariffs” on the country unless a peace deal is reached.
- The Federal Reserve is expected to leave its short-term interest rate unchanged on Wednesday for the fifth straight meeting, a move that will likely underscore the deep divide between how Chair Jerome Powell and his chief critic, President Donald Trump, see the economy.
