President Volodymyr Zelensky visited Damascus, Syria, on Sunday, receiving a warm welcome from President Ahmed al-Sharaa and reportedly discussing cooperation on food and security exchanges. Zelensky and Sharaa met once before, in New York, while both were attending the United Nations General Assembly in September.

Monday on CNN’s “The Lead,” Rep. Don Bacon (R-NE) reiterated his opposition to the United States pulling out of NATO. The Nebraska Republican lawmaker said it would be a “disaster,” adding that President Donald Trump’s rhetoric had damaged Europe’s trust in the United States. “The president today again slammed NATO, calling NATO a paper tiger,” host Jake Tapper said. “He has recently said he’s going to consider withdrawing the U.S. from NATO. You say that would be unacceptable. It would cause a civil war within the GOP conference. Have you tried to speak directly to the president about this to…

President Donald Trump said the administration would seek to identify the person who leaked that a second U.S. airman remained missing in Iran during the rescue mission and would tell the media outlet that published the information to reveal the source on national security grounds.
