Trump Sends Witkoff to Moscow in Hopes of Finalizing Ukraine Deal

Donald Trump announced he’s sending his envoy, Steve Witkoff, and possibly Jared Kushner, to Moscow next week for talks with Russian President Vladimir Putin, aiming to finalize a peace agreement to end the Ukraine war. According to Trump, only a few disagreements remain, though European leaders remain skeptical amid ongoing Russian missile strikes on Ukraine. The original US-brokered 28-point plan—seen as favoring Moscow—sparked alarm in Kyiv and across Europe. However, a new version, developed with input from European allies, has incorporated more Ukrainian interests, including a higher cap on Ukraine’s military size and omitting a ban on future NATO membership. The official familiar with the changes calls the plan “significantly better” and says talks with the Russians remain cautiously optimistic. French President Emmanuel Macron and others have voiced doubts about Russia’s willingness for a deal, while US negotiator Dan Driscoll […]

EU, Africa Leaders to Talk Trade and Minerals as Ukraine Looms Large

Dozens of EU and African leaders, including France’s Emmanuel Macron, Germany’s Friedrich Merz, and Kenya’s William Ruto, assemble in Angola for a summit focused on trade, migration, and securing Africa’s critical raw materials. The summit, marking 25 years of EU–African Union relations, is set against tense US–EU diplomatic rifts over Washington’s Ukraine peace plan, widely criticized as favoring Moscow. Efforts to revamp EU-Africa ties reflect new competition from China, Russia, Gulf states, and Turkey, with Africa no longer relying solely on Europe as a partner. The EU remains the continent’s largest investor and commercial counterpart, but resentment over colonial history and China’s growing presence threaten its influence. Key priorities include: Boosting intra-African trade and economic development, with EU support for major infrastructure projects like Angola’s Lobito railway corridor. Tackling migration and security cooperation. Ensuring Africa’s voice in global governance. Securing […]

Trump Takes Swipe at France: “We’ve Had a Lot of Problems”

US President Donald Trump, in a Fox News interview, took aim at France stating, “We’ve had a lot of problems with the French.” The comments came after Fox’s Laura Ingraham mentioned Chinese students in US universities, prompting Trump to compare them with the French, questioning if the French are “better.” Trump referenced France’s digital taxation policies, arguing the US is unfairly taxed by France on American technology companies. He has previously vowed “substantial” tariffs against countries enacting such “discriminatory” digital taxes. The comment also touched on Trump’s complicated, sometimes tense relationship with French President Emmanuel Macron. The two have had both public displays of camaraderie and disagreements, particularly over climate, Palestine, and European defense through NATO. Trump called for Europe, and specifically France, to increase defense spending via NATO and criticized France’s handling of Ukraine military support. The remarks come […]
