European Leaders to Visit Washington Over Ukraine War; 5 Killed in Shooting at Jerusalem Bus Stop | NTD Good Morning (Sept. 8)

President Donald Trump has said European leaders will visit the United States this week to discuss the resolution of the Russia–Ukraine conflict, and that he expects to speak with Russian President Vladimir Putin soon. Trump also signaled he’s ready to step up sanctions on Russia, and suggested progress toward a cease-fire deal between Israel and Hamas in Gaza.

Israeli authorities have said at least five people were killed and several others seriously injured in a shooting at a busy bus stop in Jerusalem. Police said two attackers arrived by car, opened fire, and were shot and killed by a security officer and a civilian. The attack occurred amid a surge in violence linked to the war in Gaza and unrest in the West Bank.

The Trump administration is ramping up efforts to crack down on illegal immigration with plans to deploy National Guard troops to Chicago, citing the city’s high rate of homicides. Immigration enforcement efforts are also increasing in Massachusetts after Immigration and Customs Enforcement launched Operation Patriot 2.0, according to a Homeland Security spokesperson. The statement also said that sanctuary policies in Boston are attracting violent criminals to the city.
