On Friday, Russian officials stated that President Putin is still open to discussions. However, no formal preparations for a meeting with Zelenskyy are currently underway.

A US appeals court on Friday ruled that many of President Donald Trump’s tariffs, which have upended global trade, were illegal — but allowed them to remain in place for now, giving him time to take the fight to the Supreme Court.

A US federal appeals court has ruled that most tariffs imposed by President Trump under emergency powers were illegal, challenging the core of his trade policy. The court stated that the President exceeded his authority under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA) as the law does not explicitly grant the power to impose tariffs.
