In social media posts today, President Trump suggested some Democratic veterans in Congress be put to death for a video they released urging active military personnel to refuse illegal orders.

The White House has now clarified that Trump does not want those members executed.

NPR's Danielle Kurtzleben has more.

One of Trump's posts read, seditious behavior punishable by death. At the White House press

briefing, Press Secretary Caroline Levitt denied he was calling for executions, but did not clarify

what the president meant by that post. Levitt also twice said the video told service members to defy lawful orders.

When a reporter corrected her, Leavitt responded. They're suggesting that the president has given

illegal orders, which he has not. In the video, the Congress members do not single out any military

Volodemir Zelenskyy says he hopes to discuss the proposal with President Trump in the coming

days. News media say the proposal drafted by Trump's Middle East envoy, Steve Whitkoff, along with

Kremlin negotiator Kittil Demetriov, would amount to a capitulation by Ukraine if adopted.

Media reports say the plan includes demands that Ukraine surrender territory, cut its military,

give up some weapons, and drop its bid to join the North Atlantic Treaty Organization.

These demands give Russia far more than was discussed in earlier rounds of negotiations.

Writing on social media, Zelensky's office confirmed receiving a, quote, draft plan that

according to the American side could activate diplomacy, but did not comment on the details

of the plan. Joanna Kikisis, NPR News.
