Russia freed 74-year-old American Stephen Hubbard, who was detained in Ukraine in 2022, following a direct request from Donald J. Trump. His release occurred during St. Petersburg diplomatic talks without a prisoner swap. The Biden administration had previously designated the Michigan native as wrongfully detained.

President Trump is the author of The Art of the Deal, Think Like a Billionaire, and Think Big. Analyst and Trump supporter Rod Martin points to The Art of the Deal, Trump's 1987 book, as an explanation of his deal-making philosophy: making big announcements, pivoting often in public statements and, Martin says, ultimately getting what he wanted all along. Critics contend that Trump's books were published decades ago or were aimed at making money, not shedding light. "Generally," Martin said, "critics don't read The Art of the Deal. If they did, they would understand."
