Putin praises Trump’s efforts to end Ukraine war ahead of summit in Alaska

Russian President Vladimir Putin has praised US President Donald Trump's efforts to end the war in Ukraine, more than three years after Moscow launched its invasion, as the two leaders prepared for a pivotal US–Russia summit on Friday (Saturday morning AEST) in Alaska. Following a meeting on Thursday with top government officials on the summit, Putin said in a short video released by the Kremlin that the Trump administration was making "quite energetic and sincere efforts to stop the hostilities" and to "reach agreements that are of interest to all parties involved". Putin also suggested "long-term conditions of peace between our countries, and in Europe, and in the world as a whole", could be reached under an agreement with the US on nuclear arms control.

Australia faces nervous wait as Trump’s tariff deadline looms

Australia is no closer to learning whether it will be hit by a higher tariff by the United States, despite President Donald Trump saying he'll be handing down fresh duties later this week. The so-called "reciprocal" tariffs were paused for 90 days, and the White House has recently announced deals with a slew of partners, including the UK, China, Vietnam, Indonesia, the Philippines, Japan and, as of this morning, the European Union.

There is a larger problem for Trump in the Epstein chaos

Analysis: Ezra Klein begins one of his recent podcasts by telling a joke that has been making the rounds. Basically, a conspiracy theorist dies and ascends to heaven. God is there to greet him and explains that as part of the celestial welcome, he will answer any question the man has, writes American journalist and commentator Fareed Zakaria "Please, I must know the answer to this one," the man says, "who killed John F.

Whatever he does to deflect and distract from the Jeffrey Epstein morass only deepens the suspicions — including those about the two men's relationship. President Donald Tr...
