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...
U.S. President Donald Trump said on Tuesday he ruled out putting U.S. troops on the ground in Ukraine but said the United States might provide air support as part of a deal to end Russia's war in the country.

Trump's comments follow a series of twists and turns as the US president seeks to end Russia's war against Ukraine, now in its fourth year. Trump held a summit in Alaska with...
S&P Global Ratings stated that revenue from Donald Trump's tariffs will help mitigate the impact of the president's tax cuts on US fiscal health, allowing the country to maintain its current credit rating. Although Trump's trade war has roiled markets, unsettled foreign governments, and drawn criticism from leading economists, S&P affirmed the US's AA+ rating—a score it has held since 2011, when it first downgraded the world's largest economy from AAA. This is partly because S&P expects the inflow of tax revenues to offset the impact of the recent tax and spending bill on the...

Trump made the pledge during an extraordinary summit at the White House, where he hosted Zelenskiy and a group of European allies following his Friday meeting in Alaska with Russian President Vladimir Putin. "In terms of security, there will be a lot of help," Trump told reporters, adding that European countries would be involved. "They are the first line of defense...
