A single survey often reports all adults and registered voters separately, so the same pollster and dates can appear twice; where approve and disapprove add up to less than 100%, the rest were unsure or did not answer.

What this person said on the record, as reported, newest first.
Donald Trump defended waiving some sanctions on Russia, saying he did not want to push Moscow away from peace talks, and accused Volodymyr Zelenskyy of not wanting to end the war. Zelenskyy warned Ukraine would not prevail if the United States backed Russia, calling such a shift a “historic mistake.”

US President Donald Trump said he could tighten sanctions on Russia whenever he chooses. He had earlier taken 60 days to assess the economic impact of Russia-related sanctions and tariffs on other countries. A law tightening measures against Russian officials and state-owned companies also provides for higher tariffs, which the US administration may choose not to impose if it deems them contrary to US interests.
