countries are deemed unsafe. Today's decision puts some 350,000 Venezuelans at risk of deportation.

Also today, a lower court ruled the Trump administration cannot move forward with its plan

to dismantle the U.S. Institute of Peace.

The organization was created and funded by Congress 40 years ago to focus on resolving violent

conflicts worldwide. The administration can appeal. President Trump says Russia and Ukraine

will immediately begin ceasefire negotiations after he spoke with each country's

leader separately by phone today.

Mr. Trump described as more than two-hour call with Russian President Vladimir Putin as

excellent. He also spoke one-on-one with Ukraine's Vladimir Zelensky as well as with European

leaders. Afterwards, both Zelensky and Putin indicated

they're ready for discussions to proceed,
