**Trump Administration Engages on Ukraine Peace, Escalates Venezuela Pressure, and Hardens Immigration Stance on November 30, 2025**
**WASHINGTON, D.C. – November 30, 2025** – The Trump administration today addressed a multifaceted agenda, including optimistic but challenging peace negotiations for Ukraine, intensified pressure on Venezuela, and stricter domestic immigration policies following a recent shooting. President Trump also announced his selection for the next Federal Reserve chair and defended his Secretary of Defense amidst controversy.
Regarding the ongoing conflict in Ukraine, the administration expressed optimism about peace talks, though key disagreements persist between the warring parties. A United States delegation is slated to travel to Moscow to further engage in these critical discussions.
On the Venezuelan front, pressure from the U.S. has reportedly intensified, sparking controversy, particularly concerning the potential use of military force. Venezuela, in turn, has accused the United States of “murder” in connection with deaths occurring during anti-drug operations in the Caribbean. An investigation is reportedly underway into an alleged “kill all” order issued during one of these operations. Amidst these escalating tensions, President Trump confirmed a telephone call with Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro.
Domestically, in the wake of a recent shooting in Washington, D.C., anti-immigration policies are being tightened. President Trump announced plans to honor the victims of the National Guard shooting and indicated a possible indefinite pause in asylum applications.
In economic news, President Trump revealed that he has already selected the next president of the Federal Reserve, a decision anticipated to impact global markets. The White House did not immediately disclose the name of the nominee.
Finally, the President publicly defended his Secretary of Defense against accusations related to an alleged order for a second attack, without specifying the context of the accusations.
