AP News, I'm Ben Thomas. At a meeting in Paris today, President Biden apologized to Ukraine's president for the months-long congressional hold-up in military aid. Vladimir Zelensky telling him... "It's very important that in this unity, the United States, America, all American people stay with Ukraine, like it was during World War II." And Sagar McGani reports Biden made another stop. The president stood at France's point to oak, on the same spot where Ronald Reagan 40 years earlier, honored army rangers who scaled seaside cliffs to take out German artillery positions. "These are the champions who helped free a continent." Today, the president urged Americans to hear their voices. "They are, something in us." and asking what we will do. "They're not asking us to scale these cliffs, but they're asking us to stay true to what America stands for." The president drew an implicit contrast with Donald Trump, who's threatened to dismantle U.S. commitments overseas if elected again. "Does anyone believe these rangers want America to go alone today?" and says the nation must continue their mission. "Protect freedom in our time to defend democracy." Sagar McGani, Washington. New details made public of last year's mass shooting in Lewiston, Maine. Thousands of pages of Maine Department of Public Safety documents released Friday include detailed descriptions of the chaos and carnage surrounding the state's deadliest mass shooting. The descriptions of the scenes where 18 people were killed and 13 others wounded were included in more than 3,000 pages of documents released under the Maine Freedom of Access Act. The documents showed that the gunman's family and fellow Army reservists reported that he was suffering from a mental breakdown in the months leading up to the shooting, October 25, 2023. In the aftermath, the legislature passed new gun laws for Maine, including enhancements of the state's yellow flag law. I'm Norman Hall. This is AP News.
