He wants an end to the war. I'm Lisa Lucera, Fox News. President Trump suggests time is running out for Russia and Ukraine to reach a peace agreement. The president says he's putting a lot of pressure on both Russia and Ukraine to quickly sign off on a peace proposal. I have...

No allegiance to anybody. I have allegiance to saving lives. President Trump says he is upset at Russian airstrikes targeting Kyiv overnight and made that clear in a social media post directed at Russian President Vladimir Putin that said, Vladimir, stop. I wasn't happy with it. And we're in the midst of talking peace and missiles were fired.

And I was not happy with it. President also accuses Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky of prolonging the killing field for publicly rejecting a U.S. plan to recognize Crimea as Russian territory. Fox's Jared Halpern at the White House. A federal judge has ruled the Trump administration cannot immediately enact changes to federal elections, temporarily blocking a proof of citizenship requirement for federal voter registration. And the Trump administration asking the U.S. Supreme Court to let a

ban on transgender people serving in the military be enforced as legal battles continue. An executive order from President Trump and a policy statement from Defense Secretary Pete Hegsiff essentially disqualifies many transgender people from serving in the armed forces. He was first permitted during the Obama administration.

A Washington state federal judge ruled in March for transgender soldiers who argued ending their service would damage their reputations and careers. This week, a D.C. appeals court questioned the ban's legality but did not issue a ruling. Fox's Grinnell Scott, the high court has not said when or if it will hear the case. A judge in Idaho has ruled that prosecutors can pursue the death penalty against Brian Koberger if he's convicted of murdering four University of Idaho students in 2022.

A Republican lawmaker looks to stabilize markets and get politics out of the Federal Reserve. Congressman Frank Lucas chairs the House Financial Services Task Force on monetary policy, treasury market resilience, and economic prosperity, which is tasked with scrutinizing the Federal Reserve's policies.

In an interview with Reuters, Lucas says President Trump made the right move by making it clear he had no intention of firing Fed Chairman Jerome Powell. The Oklahoma Republican says his task force will look into legislation that would make sure the central bank remains independent of political influence. Lucas says he hopes to get bipartisan support for this and the rest of the task force's legislative agenda in both the House and Senate. In Washington, Ryan Schmelz reports.

Fox News. Most Americans expect higher prices as a result of tariffs. That's according to an Associated Press-NORC Center for Public Affairs research poll. Roughly half of U.S. adults say President Trump's trade policies will increase prices a lot. And another three in 10 think prices could rise somewhat. About half of Americans are extremely or very concerned about the possibility of the U.S. economy going into a recession in the next few months.

A major beverage and snack company says it's seeing the impact of tariff turmoil. PepsiCo, parent company of Pepsi-Cola, Frito-Lay snacks, and Quaker Oats is seeing demand for its products cooling. Snack food sales declined in recent months. CEO Ramon LaGuarta says consumer conditions in many markets remain subdued. Inflation has strained budgets and altered food shopping patterns. At the same time, it's costing the company more to ship products.

Its recent quarter was disappointing, and PepsiCo is lowering expectations for this year. The company is expecting more volatility and uncertainty, particularly related to global trade developments, which it expects will increase its supply chain costs. Fox News' Jenny Kosola. I'm Lisa LaSera. This is Fox News. Creating your own business is everything. Getting it registered and compliant, not so much.
