Zelensky urges 'concrete' US, European response to Russian attacks
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky on Tuesday called on the United States and Europe to respond to a fresh bout of Russian attacks of more than 300 drones and seven missiles.
"It is vital that the response to this and other similar Russian attacks is not silence from the world but concrete action. Action from America, which has the power to force Russia into peace. Action from Europe, which has no alternative but to be strong," Zelensky wrote in a post on social media, adding that two of the missiles were North Korean-made.

Treasury chief says 'possible' to rebalance US-China economic ties
U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said Wednesday it was possible to rebalance economic relations with China if Beijing proved a "reliable partner in trade negotiations" after two days of talks in London to cool tensions. "If China will course-correct by upholding its end of the initial trade agreement we outlined in Geneva, and I believe after our talks in London they will, then the rebalancing of the world's two largest economies is possible," Bessent told lawmakers at the House Ways and Means Committee.

Macron to push for social media ban for under-15s after school stabbing
French President Emmanuel Macron said he would push for European Union regulation to ban social media for children under the age of 15 after a fatal stabbing at a school in eastern France, the latest such violent attack that left the country reeling. Macron said in an interview late on Tuesday that he hoped to see results within the next few months. "If that does not work, we will start to do it in France. We cannot wait," he told the France 2 public broadcaster, hours after a fatal stabbing at a middle school in Nogent, Haute-Marne. Writing on social media platform X after the interview, Macron said such regulation was backed by experts. "Platforms have the ability to verify age. Do it," he wrote. Reuters

Trump says China deal 'done,' Beijing to supply rare earths
U.S. President Donald Trump touted Wednesday an agreement reached between Washington and Beijing after two days of trade talks, saying China would supply "magnets, and any necessary rare earths" to the world's biggest economy. The issue of rare earth exports was a key sticking point in the London negotiations, and Trump added that Washington, in turn, would allow Chinese students to remain at U.S. colleges after the deal, which is subject to his and Chinese leader Xi Jinping's final approval.
