Market Cools as Nvidia’s Blowout Earnings Fail to Ignite Futures

  U.S. stock futures were mixed Thursday morning as investors digested Nvidia’s latest blockbuster earnings—results that impressed on paper but didn’t translate into broad market enthusiasm. Dow futures edged slightly higher, while S&P 500 and Nasdaq futures hovered near the flatline, reflecting a cautious mood across Wall Street.

Tensions Flare at White House as Zelensky, Trump, and Vance Clash

In a dramatic turn of events, a meeting at the White House between Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, U.S. President Donald Trump, and Vice President JD Vance erupted into a heated exchange. The meeting, initially intended to celebrate a mineral rights deal between the United States and Ukraine, quickly devolved into a shouting match.

The confrontation began when Vice President Vance accused Zelensky of showing a lack of gratitude for the aid provided by the United States to combat Russia's invasion of Ukraine. Vance's comments were met with a strong response from Zelensky, who defended his country's position and expressed the need for continued support.

President Trump, visibly frustrated, raised his voice and warned Zelensky about the potential consequences of his actions, stating that he was "gambling with World War III". The tense atmosphere in the Oval Office was palpable as the leaders exchanged sharp words in front of reporters.

The meeting, which was supposed to mark a significant step forward in U.S.-Ukraine relations, instead highlighted the deep-seated tensions and differing perspectives between the leaders. The fallout from this confrontation remains to be seen, but it has undoubtedly added a new layer of complexity to the ongoing discussions between the two nations.
