Good evening and welcome to the Worldview Report.

After a barrage of Truth Social postings by President Trump lashing out at Ukraine’s Zelensky, various unconfirmed reports surfaced that Trump will discuss halting all military aid to Ukraine in a meeting with key advisors this week. 

The NY Times reported Friday that, “as the two men met on Friday, it had been 50 days since the Pentagon had announced a new package of weapons to Ukraine and the new administration had said little about providing any more.”

A Trump administration official said later on Friday that all U.S. aid to Ukraine, including the final shipments of ammunition and equipment authorized and paid for during the Biden administration, could be canceled imminently.

As noted by Zero Hedge, this scenario is clearly getting closer, especially given Zelensky's continued open defiance, issuing statements critical of Trump while appearing tough for the European cameras.

Zelensky said in a statement Monday to AP that he sees the end of the war with Russia as being "very, very far away." He had even added that he expects to keep receiving American support despite last Friday's blow-up at the White House, wherein VP Vance charged that he is ungrateful.

That comment further angered Trump.

In a post to Truth Social, Trump said Zelensky’s statement to AP was “the worst statement that could have been made, and America will not put up with it for much longer. It is what I was saying, this guy doesn’t want there to be peace as long as he has America’s backing and, Europe, in the meeting they had with Zelensky, stated flatly they cannot do the job without the U.S. Probably not a good statement to have been made in terms of a show of strength against Russia. What are they thinking?”

Meanwhile, Zelensky was given the royal treatment in London, where he was received by King Charles and then members of Parliament.

This was a blatant attempt by the British to restore Zelensky’s reputation on the world stage after he made a fool of himself and a mockery of the White House Oval Office just two days prior. 

The British government is really going out on a limb for Ukraine. But remember, it was former British Prime Minister Boris Johnson who in April 2022 jetted off to Kiev to talk Zelensky out of making peace with Russia. For whatever reason, Britain wants war with Russia, and apparently, it’s positioning itself for that end with or without the United States by its side.

A terrorist stabbed several people at a major transit hub Monday in the northern Israeli city of Haifa, killing a man and injuring at least four others.

According to the Times of Israel, the knife attack at a bus station in the city appeared to be the latest in a string of terror attacks targeting public transportation in Israel. A ramming attack took place at a bus stop on Thursday and a series of botched bus bombings near Tel Aviv occurred a week earlier.

The assailant, identified by police as an Israeli citizen from the Druze community, was shot and killed by a bus station security guard and an armed passerby. Family members denied he had any terror motive and said he had suffered from mental illness.

Israeli news outlets identified the attacker as Jethro Shahin, a man in his 20s. Unconfirmed reports claimed he held German citizenship.

The victim was identified as a 70-year-old resident of an Arab town in the Galilee.

The terrorist can be seen on surveillance video brutally stabbing the innocent man in the back several times. Four others were wounded, including a 15-year-old boy rushed to Haifa’s main hospital with life-threatening injuries.

The hospital said the teen was stable after undergoing emergency surgery.

Three others, including a woman in her 70s and a man and woman in their 30s, were reportedly hospitalized with moderate wounds.

Graphic video of the attack showed the victim attempting to reach a security booth as the stabbing began.

The assailant then rushes the man, tackling him to the ground and repeatedly knifing him until a guard and another man shoot the attacker.

Please be warned, this video contains graphic content.

LifeSite News reports that Pope Francis suffered a setback Monday in his battle with a respiratory infection, which led to the resumption of his needing an oxygen mask.

A statement issued by the Vatican Press Office stated that Pope Francis “presented two episodes of acute respiratory failure,” caused by a significant accumulation of mucus and resulting bronchospasm.

Later in the afternoon Monday, non-invasive mechanical ventilation was resumed, a measure he had also been put on after last Friday’s respiratory crisis but had managed to graduate away from by Saturday afternoon. He had not used it on Sunday.

His clinical condition remains complex, sources said, though notably despite Monday’s medical setback Francis is not described as critical, as he had been previously.

The pope was originally diagnosed with double pneumonia after being admitted to the hospital on February 14.

Attorney General Pam Bondi went on Fox News Sunday night and gave a few updates on the Epstein documents, saying, "I started asking for these documents right when I came into office. I found resources told me New York SDNY are sitting on thousands of pages of documents regarding Epstein." 

She said she will find out who withheld those documents and fire them.

The Treasury Department announced March 2nd it will no longer enforce the Corporate Transparency Act or the associated Beneficial Ownership Information reporting requirements.

This marks a significant easing of regulatory requirements that had been especially burdensome for small businesses and were started under the previous administration of Joe Biden.

The agency stated in a news release, “Not only will it not enforce any penalties or fines associated with the beneficial ownership information reporting rule under the existing regulatory deadlines, but it will further not enforce any penalties or fines against U.S. citizens or domestic reporting companies or their beneficial owners after the forthcoming rule changes take effect either.”

The Treasury Department said it will further be issuing a proposed rule that will narrow the scope of the reporting requirement to foreign reporting companies only.

U.S. Secretary of the Treasury Scott Bessent said: “This is a victory for common sense. Today’s action is part of President Trump’s bold agenda to unleash American prosperity by reining in burdensome regulations, in particular for small businesses that are the backbone of the American economy.”

The Corporate Transparency Act, which was signed into law in January 2021, is an anti-money laundering law that directs businesses to report their ownership structures to the Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN), which is overseen by the Treasury Department. 

A January 1, 2025, deadline had originally been set for reporting companies to file their BOI reports with FinCEN, but that deadline has been delayed and suspended numerous times by federal courts.

The Pentagon is deploying a Stryker Brigade Combat Team and a General Support Aviation Battalion to the southwestern border, accelerating efforts to fulfill President Trump's directive to bolster military support in securing the U.S.-Mexico border. 

Zero Hedge reports that the units, equipped with wheeled-vehicle and air capabilities, are set to reinforce border operations in the coming weeks, Pentagon Press Secretary Sean Parnell announced over the weekend.

Each SBCT is a mechanized infantry force of approximately 4,400 soldiers, and the Army's nine SBCTs, seven active-duty and two National Guard, are known for their rapid deployment and versatility. Capable of transport via C-130 Hercules aircraft within 96 hours, the Stryker excels in operations requiring swift response. 

Complementing this, the GSAB, with roughly 650 troops, brings aviation muscle, UH-60 Black Hawks for command and medical evacuation, and CH-47 Chinooks for heavy lift, enhancing operational reach and support.  

This deployment marks the latest wave of active-duty troops sent to the border since Trump's inauguration. Following his declaration to seal the border and combat illegal immigration and drug trafficking, initial deployments included 1,600 Marines and soldiers by late January, joining 2,500 reservists already mobilized.  

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, addressing the mission's scope on his first official day in late January, emphasized adaptability. "Whatever is needed at the border will be provided," he said, signaling a robust commitment to the president's homeland defense priority.

The Japanese car company Honda will produce its next-generation Civic hybrid in the U.S. state of Indiana rather than in Mexico, according to reports Monday.

The move would sidestep tariffs on one of its top-selling car models.

Reuters cited three people familiar with the matter saying that Mexico was initially chosen because rising costs were making it tough to produce the car in Indiana and Canada.

The outlet reports that this has now changed since President Trump returned to the White House and set about protecting American jobs and American workers through tariffs.

The change underscores how manufacturers are scrambling to adapt to Trump’s proposed 25% tariffs on goods from Mexico and Canada, which are scheduled to go into effect today (Tuesday). 

While several automakers have expressed concerns about the tariffs, Honda’s move is the first concrete measure by a major Japanese car company.

Production on the next-generation Honda Civic was set to begin in Mexico beginning in November 2027.

Instead, if this story by Reuters pans out, the new Civic will start rolling off the assembly lines in Indiana starting May 2028, with an expected annual production of around 210,000 cars, one of the sources said. Honda would look to import from nations not hit by tariffs if production in Indiana falls short of demand, one of them told Reuters.

A Honda spokesperson declined to comment on changes to the Civic production plan, adding that the company would continue to take market demand into account while considering “optimal production and allocation globally.”

Honda sold some 1.4 million cars and trucks in the United States last year, including models under its Acura luxury brand.

Time now for our nightly Worldview Report commentary.

A car rammed into a crowd in the German city of Mannheim Monday and reportedly killed two people and injured 25. 

Unfortunately, this is not a rare occurrence in Germany, which has been plagued by Islamic terrorism for way too long. If the jihadists can’t get their hands on a gun, they will use a knife or a car.

Chaos ensued Monday as terrified pedestrians witnessed a black vehicle speeding from a tourist hotspot towards a water tower Monday in Mannheim, before plowing into a crowd of people, according to reports.

Two people have been killed and 25 injured, with 15 fighting for their lives in hospitals, according to the German news outlet Bild.

Witnesses described heartbreaking scenes of children's shoes scattered on the street among the debris caused by the carnage.

Police spokesperson Stefan Wilhelm said one attacker was arrested but police “can't yet give information on whether there were further perpetrators.”

One video appeared to show medics sprinting towards victims lying injured on the ground as Mannheim University Hospital issued a disaster alert.

This is Germany’s eighth car-ramming terror attack in the last 10 months, and that doesn’t even include all of the Islamic knife attacks on German citizens. 

Yet, with all of its problems with terrorists having infiltrated its homeland, Germany’s government seems much more concerned about Ukraine’s border issues with Russia.

Russia poses no real threat to Germany yet the German government is raising threat levels and the German media is fear-mongering its people to be very afraid of Russia. While everyone’s eyes are on Russia, the enemy within, Islam, is establishing a beachhead inside Germany, methodically waging war and actually killing Germans. Any Germans who talk about this actual threat are accused of spreading misinformation, or worse, called enemies of the state and locked away.

I’ve said it before, but I’ll say it again. You can’t make this stuff up.

That does it for this edition of the Worldview Report. Thanks for tuning in and supporting this broadcast.

Until next time…
