US has agreed to continue military aid in Ukraine
The US has said it will immediately lift the cessation of the exchange of information and continue its military aid in Ukraine after hours of meetings in Saudi Arabia. Kiev said he would support Trump’s proposal for a 30 -day cease with Russia.
In a joint statement, the US and Ukraine have acknowledged that the terms of any ceasefire will be subject to Russia’s approval. They also agreed to conclude an agreement on the development of Ukraine’s critical mineral resources “as soon as possible”.
There was no immediate comment from Russia, which had no officials in the talks.
President Trump told reporters that he could speak this week with Russian leader Vladimir Putin, and hoping he would last a constant ceasefire in the coming days.
What will follow: Following the meetings, Foreign Minister Marco Rubio said the deal had put pressure on Russia to end the war. “The ball is now on their court,” he said.
Defense: President Emmanuel Macron of France brought together staff leaders with more than 30 Armed Forces yesterday to discuss the creation of a multinational peacekeeping force to monitor any ceasefire in Ukraine.
Battle: Russia began attacking the city of Sudzha, in the Kursk area, which was recorded by Ukraine last year. Progress makes Moscow on the verge of ending the first invasion of Russian territory since World War II.
Trump threatened Canada and then returned it
It was a day for confusion and threats. After spending the first half of yesterday that threatened Canada by doubling steel and aluminum invoices, President Trump returned when Ontario dropped the surcharges that had imposed on electricity, exported to the US previously scheduled invoices and 25 percent invoices. Here’s the last.
The markets whipped yesterday as investors tried to alleviate Trump’s commitment to invoices. Stocks fell into early negotiation before recovering late the day.
Context: Trump’s latest invoice responded to Ontario’s plan to add a 25 % increase to the electricity it exports to Michigan, Minnesota and New York.
The 51st Status: Trump reiterated his desire to annex Canada. He said that “the only thing that makes sense” was for the northern neighbor of the US to become his 51st state. But he put it in the clearer terms, however, how he envisions what is happening, saying he will “do all the invoices and everything else, they disappear completely”.

Duterte, the former President of the Philippines, arrested
The Philippines arrested former President Rodrigo Duterte yesterday at Manila’s main airport as he returned from a trip to Hong Kong, acting with a warrant issued by the International Criminal Court. The court accused Duterte of crimes against humanity for campaigns against the anti -tanks, which the rights groups say they killed about 30,000 people, many of whom did not participate in drug trafficking.
What will follow: Duterte was on a plane intended for the Hague, where the court is based. The case will check the legal scope of the ICC, which derives its jurisdiction from the Rome Statute, a treaty signed by 125 countries today. Here’s what else to know.

Sharing a laugh, an ocean separately
As the producers of Hit West End Musical “Operation Mincemeat” are ready to go to New York, they asked a question: “Are we the British for Broadway?” The answer, hoped, would come from the Americans before the beginning of the night, later this month.
The demonstration, a comedy for a World War II espionage operation, passed the lake armed with an Olivier award for the best new musician and a request for the public to send an email to the director. There were bites for Broadway palates.
“American audiences are fast and sophisticated, but they also love stupid things like slap,” the director said. “Almost more than the British.”
