唐纳德·特朗普总统周四表示，美国正在向俄罗斯施压，要求其停止对乌克兰的袭击。“你不知道我们给俄罗斯施加了多大的压力，”特朗普声称。
特朗普被问及俄罗斯政府为与乌克兰达成和平计划做出了哪些让步，但给出了模糊的回答:“停止战争，停止占领整个国家，”他说。“相当大的让步。”
与此同时，特朗普表示，他将于周四会见《大西洋》(The Atlantic)主编杰弗里·戈德堡(Jeffrey Goldberg)，他无意中被包括在信号聊天中，包括国防部长皮特·赫格塞斯(Pete Hegseth)在内的美国国防官员在聊天中讨论了对也门胡塞叛军的攻击计划。
特朗普签署关于国内深海开采关键矿产的行政命令
特朗普签署了一项行政命令，旨在发展国内“勘探、表征、收集和加工关键深海海底矿物”的能力。
该法令本身包含一份长长的授权清单，要求各内阁大臣和部门帮助实现该法令的目标。
具体而言，它呼吁商务部部长根据《深海海底硬矿物资源法》加快审查和发放勘探和商业开采许可证。
该命令还将要求商务部和内政部部长编写一份报告，详细说明私营部门对美国外大陆架海底矿物的“勘探、开采和监测”的兴趣和机会，以及私营部门在美国境内和悬挂美国国旗的船只上的加工能力。
国务卿和内政部长还将负责绘制海底优先区域的地图。
该命令还要求内政部长提出一个在美国外大陆架范围内审查和批准许可证和授予执照的程序。官员们表示，这些许可证将根据《外大陆架土地法案》进行管理。
法官驳回特朗普要求阻止塔夫茨大学学生转移到另一个法院的请求
法官威廉·k·塞申斯三世(William K. Sessions III)周四驳回了政府暂停将塔夫茨大学学生鲁梅萨·奥兹图尔克(rümeysa oz Turk)从路易斯安那州的一个拘留所转移到佛蒙特州另一个拘留所的请求。
政府已经要求法官在它向第二巡回上诉法院上诉时暂停这一行动。
但法官拒绝了他们的请求，称她被转移到佛蒙特州“不会对政府在移民法院对她的单独驱逐程序产生影响。”
他还说，“奥兹蒂尔克女士被拘留在路易斯安那州，她报告说，她在那里忍受着过度拥挤、不卫生的条件、日益恶化的医疗条件、医疗保健不足以及信奉宗教的困难。”

Trump admin live updates: 'You have no idea' what pressure US is putting on Russia, Trump says
President Donald Trump said Thursday that the U.S. is putting pressure on Russia to stop its attacks on Ukraine. "You have no idea what pressure we're putting on Russia," Trump claimed.
Trump was asked about what concessions the Russian government has offered to reach a peace plan with Ukraine, but gave a vague answer: "Stopping the war, stopping taking the whole country," he said. "Pretty big concession."
Meanwhile, Trump said that he was going to meet Thursday with "The Atlantic" Editor-in-Chief Jeffrey Goldberg, who was inadvertently included on the Signal chat in which U.S. defense officials, including Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, discussed attack plans on Houthi rebels in Yemen.
Trump signs executive order on domestic deep sea mining for critical minerals
Trump signed an executive order that seeks to develop domestic capability for the "exploration, characterization, collection and processing of critical deep seabed minerals."
The order itself contains a lengthy list of mandates for various Cabinet secretaries and departments to help deliver on the aim of the order.
Specifically, it calls on the secretary of the Department of Commerce to expedite the review and issuance of exploration and commercial recovery permits under the Deep Seabed Hard Mineral Resources Act.
The order will also require the secretaries of the departments of Commerce and the Interior to create a report detailing private-sector interest and opportunities for "exploration, mining and monitoring" of seabed mineral on the U.S. Outer Continental Shelf and private-sector processing capability within the U.S. and on U.S.-flagged vessels.
The secretary of state and secretary of the interior will also be tasked with creating a map of priority areas of the seabed.
The order also requires the secretary of the interior to come up with a process for reviewing and approving permits and granting licenses within the U.S. Outer Continental Shelf. Officials say these licenses will be administered under the Outer Continental Shelf Lands Act.
Judge rejects Trump request to stall Tufts student transfer to another court
Judge William K. Sessions III denied on Thursday the government’s request to pause the transfer of Tufts student Rümeysa Öztürk from a detention facility in Louisiana to another in Vermont.
The government had asked the judge to pause the move while it appeals the decision in the 2nd Circuit Court of Appeals.
But the judge rejected their request, saying her transfer to Vermont "will have no impact on the government’s separate removal proceedings against her in immigration court."
"Ms. Öztürk is in detention in Louisiana, where she reports that she is enduring overcrowding, unsanitary conditions, a worsening medical condition, insufficient medical care, and difficulties practicing her religion," he added.
