Leaked transcripts of a call between U.S. special envoy Steve Witkoff and an advisor of Russian President Vladimir Putin detail how President Trump's 28-point peace proposal came about. The president dismisses the leak, saying it shows standard negotiating tactics.
Trump, who once campaigned on ending the war within 24 hours, is now thought to care more about reaching a deal than what's in it.
And millions of Americans will take to the skies this week. The FAA says this year's Thanksgiving could be the busiest in more than a decade.
