  "account": "On Saturday, US President Donald Trump announced that his administration is considering joining Saudi Arabia's military strikes against the Houthis. When questioned about his decision, Trump stated, \"We may. We're going to look at it soon. We just found out about the recent attack, so we'll make a decision. We move very quickly.\" He added, \"We're going to take a look.\" While Trump's remarks suggest potential direct US military involvement alongside Saudi Arabia, he did not confirm a final decision or details on the nature of American participation.\n\nLater, Trump shifted his focus to Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, accusing him of repeatedly missing chances to end the war with Russia. Trump claimed, \"Zelensky could have settled this war many times, many, many times, and he chooses not to.\" He further criticized Zelensky, saying, \"I suggest they get a new leader who can make a deal, because he could have made many deals that, for some reason, he never does. I think it's time for Ukraine to get a new president.\" Trump also accused Zelensky of disregarding US requests not to strike Russian diesel refineries, stating, \"We said, you can do whatever you want to Russia. Don't hit the refineries because that's a world problem.\" He added, \"He went out, and he hit.\"\n\nTrump repeated his criticism of the Nobel Peace Prize given to Navi Pillay, stating, \"They gave the Nobel Prize to a person that nobody ever heard of.\" He then attacked the decision, saying, \"I'd never heard of her. Nobody that I know ever heard of her.\"",
  "summary": "Trump's remarks leave open the possibility of direct US military involvement alongside Saudi Arabia against the Houthis. He also added that he thought 'it's time for Ukraine to get a new president.'",
