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...
The United States will make several trade announcements in the next 48 hours, Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said on Monday, ahead of a U.S. deadline on Wednesday to finalize trade pacts. "We've had a lot of people change their tune in terms of negotiations. So my mailbox was full last night with a lot of new offers, a lot of new proposals," Bessent said in an interview with CNBC. "So it's going to be a busy couple of days." President Donald Trump said the United States would start delivering tariff letters from 12:00 pm ET (1600 GMT) on Monday.

President Donald Trump said the U.S. will impose an additional 10% tariff on any countries aligning themselves with the "Anti-American policies" of the BRICS group of developing nations, whose leaders kicked off a summit in Brazil on Sunday.

In a joint statement from the opening of the BRICS summit in Rio de Janeiro released on Sunday...
U.S. President Donald Trump on Sunday lashed out against former confidant Elon Musk over the latter's plans to form a third political party in the country, furthering a bitter public feud between the two. In a long, rambling post on Truth.Social, Trump said he was "saddened to watch Elon Musk go completely ‘off the rails'," while criticizing the Tesla (NASDAQ:TSLA) CEO's plans for a new political party. "He even wants to start a Third Political Party, despite the fact that they have never succeeded in the United States… The one thing Third Parties are good for is the creation of Complete...
Several European Union automakers and capitals are pushing for a deal with President Donald Trump that would allow tariff relief in return for increased investment in the U.S., according to people familiar with the matter. Member countries were briefed on the status of the trade talks on Friday after a series of talks in Washington this week and were told that a technical agreement in principle was close, the people said, speaking on condition of anonymity.

Although the outcome of ongoing trade negotiations between the U.S. and European Union remains unclear, there are risks of an escalation in tensions, according to analysts at Barclays. European trade officials met with their Trump administration counterparts in Washington this week, as a pause to sweeping "reciprocal" U.S. tariffs is due to expire on Wednesday.
