DOGE's supposed savings have been riddled with errors."

"The savings, deleted with no explanation from DOGE or the White House, include: a $232 million cut to the Social Security Administration that actually amounted to only $560,000; an $8 billion cut at Immigration and Customs Enforcement that was actually only $8 million; and three $655 million cuts at the U.S. Agency for International Development that ended up being a measly $18 million.

These mistakes all seem to be completely avoidable human errors.

DOGE had claimed earlier this week that it has saved $65 billion thanks to all of its cuts. Its website still boasts this number, despite the recently deleted claims."

The source said the Americans had resisted security guarantees being included in the draft.

The precise wording regarding Ukraine's security in the latest draft was unclear.

CNN reported Monday, citing a Ukrainian source familiar with the negotiations, that some of the thornier details about the resources deal would be negotiated in subsequent talks, and that the US and Ukrainian presidents might discuss the security guarantees in person."

"Twenty-one members of the United States DOGE Service (formerly the U.S. Digital Service) have resigned, citing DOGE's ongoing work dramatically reshaping the federal government.

"We will not use our skills as technologists to compromise core government systems, jeopardize Americans' sensitive data, or dismantle critical public services. We will not lend our expertise to carry out or legitimize DOGE's actions," the anonymous staffers write in a letter obtained by NPR, and first reported by The Associated Press."

"Ukrainian officials say Kyiv is now ready to sign the agreement on jointly developing its mineral resources, including oil and gas, after...

"Although the text lacks explicit security guarantees, the officials argued that they had negotiated far more favourable terms and depicted the deal as a way of broadening the relationship with the US to shore up Ukraine's prospects after three years of war.

"The minerals agreement is only part of the picture. We have heard multiple times from the US administration that it's part of a bigger picture," Olha Stefanishyna, Ukraine's deputy prime minister and justice minister who has led the negotiations, told the Financial Times on Tuesday.

A Ukrainian official with knowledge of the matter said that Zelenskyy was planning to travel to Washington on Friday to see Trump and formalise the deal."
