Donald Trump is pushing hard for a peace deal – but major issues between Russia and Ukraine are still unresolved, writes Sarah Rainsford.

The US president says Nato troops stayed “a little off the front lines” – despite 457 UK military deaths in the conflict.

The US president has promised to “end decades of suffering” but critics dismiss his Board of Peace as a vainglorious project.

“We’re going to be very successful in Gaza,” President Trump says, as his administration laid out its vision for post-war reconstruction.

The meeting came as US envoy Steve Witkoff headed to Moscow for a meeting with Russia’s Vladimir Putin.

Heavy rains have ravaged the country’s North Island, with a minister comparing it to a “war zone”.

The ball is in the court of European leaders ahead of Thursday’s emergency EU meeting in Brussels, writes Nick Beake.

At Davos, the US president said he would not use force to take the island and later floated a possible “forever” deal.

Another eight Palestinians were killed by Israeli artillery and gunfire across Gaza on Wednesday, according to medics.

Some of the president’s fellow Republicans oppose him – but it’s not clear if they would join Democrats to block a takeover of the island.
