President Trump announced on Friday that he is "strongly considering" sanctions and tariffs on Russia until it agrees to a ceasefire and peace deal to end its three-year war with Ukraine. The threats of tariffs and sanctions are the first indication that the White House is weighing action against Russia and come as Trump stated that Russia was absolutely "pounding" Ukraine on the battlefield. Trump also reiterated his belief that Ukraine doesn’t “have the cards” to force Russia to the negotiating table, but U.S. economic pressure could lead to a ceasefire or final settlement agreement. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky also expressed readiness for peace talks Friday, stating the first step toward peace was for Russia to halt its attacks. | Second Person Dies from Measles Outbreak An unvaccinated adult in New Mexico has become the second person to die from a measles outbreak, a week after an unvaccinated child in Texas died from the disease. Health officials reported Friday that there are 198 measles cases in West Texas, with cases in New Mexico tripling to 30 in a single day, according to local authorities. Nearly all measles cases are in unvaccinated individuals or those with unknown vaccination status. At least 23 people have been hospitalized, with five cases of individuals vaccinated with one dose of the MMR vaccine. | Daylight Saving Time Starts Sunday Sunday marks the start of daylight saving time, when most of the U.S. springs forward by moving clocks ahead one hour, losing an hour of sleep but gaining later sunsets. Hawaii, Arizona, and U.S. overseas territories, including Puerto Rico, Guam, the U.S. Virgin Islands, American Samoa, and the Northern Mariana Islands, are exempt from the time switch, which will occur again in November under the Uniform Time Act of 1966. The biannual practice could end as Sen. Rick Scott has reintroduced the Sunshine Protection Act to make daylight saving time year-round, after the legislation passed the Senate in 2022 but didn’t receive a House vote. Elon Musk, an advocate for ending daylight saving time, posted a poll asking followers if they preferred an hour earlier or later if the time change is canceled, with over 58% opting for an hour later. | |  | | ➤ The economy added 151,000 jobs in February, while the federal government cut 10,000 positions, pushing the unemployment rate slightly up to 4.1% from 4.0%, according to newly released data.
