President Vladimir Putin said he is willing to discuss ending Russia's war in Ukraine, despite rejecting changes sought by Kyiv and Europe to the U.S. peace plan drafted with Moscow. Putin said he has "practically agreed" to the proposals to end the war outlined in summit talks with U.S. President Donald Trump in Alaska in August. "To say that we reject something is simply incorrect and has no basis in fact," he said Friday at his annual televised press conference in Moscow. "This issue is entirely on the side of our Western opponents, so to speak, primarily the leaders" of Ukraine and...

European Union Council President Antonio Costa called for a "constructive position" with the United States on trade tariffs to prevent a trade war, speaking on Monday ahead of a G7 meeting in Canada. Costa emphasized that if the EU faced discriminatory measures, it would need to respond, noting that "the European Commission is prepared to respond, particularly in trade matters."

I have great hope that, in the end, some line of rationality will guide political action... as no tariff will increase U.S. exports of goods or services to Europe," Costa said in a...
