Briefing
Up to 10,000 troops could be sent to the US-Mexico border as part of Donald  Trump's immigration crackdown, an internal memo  suggests.
The US president has already ordered 1,500 troops to  set up barriers at the border  – the military source says they  will not be involved in  "law enforcement".
Kremlin says  'ready for equal  dialogue' as Trump  threatens to impose sanctions on Moscow if it  does not end the war in Ukraine
In his first interview since returning to the White House, Trump  played down the threat  that TikTok  was being used by the Chinese government to spy on its  users.
He tells Fox News  that the app  "is here to stay" and that other  Chinese-made products could easily be used for spying - watch the  highlight clip  below.

Trump's  former envoy  to Ukraine says Putin is seen as  a "problem"


"It's clear  that Trump  sees Putin as the problem,  he's the cause of the war (in Ukraine) and he needs to stop the war," Kurt Volker, Trump's former special representative to Ukraine,  told the BBC's Today  show.
In a  message published last night in the Social  Truth, the outsider, the president threatened  new sanctions against Moscow if  an agreement is  not reached soon.
"Put things in  perspective," Volker  continued, "the only reason there is a war is because Putin is  doing it."
He added that  more sanctions  against Russia could  cause "significant" damage.
"Russia has already frozen its foreign reserves  abroad. It has a budget  deficit and spends 40% of its government budget on the  military. "It may take a few months, but not  a few years." This sends a signal to  Putin: the situation is getting worse. We  need to push Putin to say  that we  need a  ceasefire.
