Trump says arranging Putin-Zelensky peace summit
WASHINGTON: US President Donald Trump said Monday he had started arranging a peace summit between Ukraine's Volodymyr Zelensky and Russia's Vladimir Putin, after intensive talks with Zelensky and European leaders at the White House. Trump said he had spoken by phone with Putin — whom he met in Alaska last week — following a 'very good' meeting with the Europeans and the Ukrainian president in the White House. 'At the conclusion of the meetings, I called President Putin, and began the arrangements for a meeting, at a location to be determined, between President Putin and President Zelensky,' Trump said on his Truth Social platform. Trump, 79, said that he himself would then hold a three-way summit with the Ukrainian and Russian leaders. 'Everyone is very happy about the possibility of PEACE for Russia/Ukraine,' Trump wrote. Putin told Trump that he was ready to meet Zelensky, a source familiar with talks told AFP. The US president also said he had discussed security guarantees for Ukraine as part of a peace deal with Russia, with Europe taking the lead and coordinating with Washington. Trump said earlier that Putin had agreed to Western security guarantees for Ukraine, despite the Russian leader ruling out Kyiv's long-held dream of joining the NATO alliance. 'During the meeting we discussed Security Guarantees for Ukraine, which Guarantees would be provided by the various European Countries, with a coordination with the United States of America,' Trump said on Truth Social. The White House was the venue for an extraordinary — and pointed — meeting gathering Trump with Zelensky plus the leaders of Britain, France, Germany, Italy, Finland, the European Commission and NATO. Zelensky also met one-on-one in the Oval Office with Trump in their first encounter in the heart of the US presidency since their acrimonious blow-up there in February. The Ukrainian president said the meeting was their 'best' yet. This time the atmosphere was far calmer than when Trump and Vice President JD Vance berated Zelensky in front of TV cameras less than six months ago for not being 'grateful' for US support. Trump even complimented Zelensky on his black jacket, after the Ukrainian was criticized by right-wing media because he failed to change his trademark war-leader's outfit for a suit during the February visit. The US president meanwhile expressed optimism over the chances of ending Russia's invasion . 'In a week or two weeks, we're going to know whether or not we're going to solve this or is this horrible fighting going to continue,' Trump said as he opened the meeting. The presence of the European leaders however also underscored continuing nervousness about Trump's pressure on Kyiv to make concessions to Moscow. Trump had pushed Ukraine ahead of the meeting to give up Crimea and abandon its goal of joining NATO — both key demands made by Putin. Trump said that during the White House talks on Monday they also 'need to discuss the possible exchanges of territory' between Russia and Ukraine. Reports had said Putin was pushing for Ukraine to cede its eastern Donbas region, much of which is still partly in Kyiv's hands, in exchange for freezing the frontline elsewhere. Ukraine has rejected any such move. The Europeans nevertheless lined up to praise Trump as they called for a lasting peace to end Russia's invasion. 'I'm really excited. Let's make the best out of today,' NATO chief Mark Rutte said as the US president went round the table asking them to comment. French President Emmanuel Macron, however, called for a separate four-way meeting including Europeans to deal with a grinding conflict that is on their doorstep. German Chancellor Friedrich Merz meanwhile contradicted Trump's call to go straight for a full peace deal instead of an immediate ceasefire, calling for a truce before any leaders' summit. He also sounded a note of caution after the talks, saying Ukraine must not be forced to give up territory to Russia. Russian strikes overnight killed at least seven people in Ukraine, including two children.

Islamabad says Iran to prioritize Pakistani rice, mango and meat exports under ‘landmark' understanding
ISLAMABAD: Iran will prioritize Pakistan's rice, meat, mango and other exports as part of a 'landmark' trade understanding reached between the two countries in Tehran, the Pakistani government said on Monday. The statement came after a high-level ministerial meeting between both sides on food security and agricultural cooperation. National Food Security Minister Rana Tanveer Hussain led the Pakistani side. The meeting was co-chaired by his Iranian counterpart, Mr. Gholamreza Nourozi, and attended by senior representatives of key ministries, research institutions, and trade authorities from both countries. Both sides reached an agreement for Iran to source a major portion of its rice imports from Pakistan for both government and private sector procurement, while the Iranian side assured of addressing longstanding challenges faced by Pakistani fruit exporters, particularly delays in issuance of import permits and foreign exchange allocations in Iran, according to Pakistan's Press Information Department (PID). 'With these measures in place, exports of Pakistani mangoes to Iran are set to rise substantially,' the PID said, adding that the discussion also focused on Pakistan's livestock and meat sector. 'Iran agreed to focus on Pakistan as a principal supplier and to ensure that around 60 percent of its meat procurements are sourced from Pakistan.' Similarly, Iran agreed to import large volumes of maize from Pakistan, with a commitment to resolve technical and procedural issues on priority and within the shortest possible time, according to the PID. Recognizing the need for science-driven solutions in agriculture, both sides agreed to enhance cooperation between the Pakistan Agricultural Research Council (PARC) and Iranian research institutions. 'This collaboration will cover key areas of mutual advantage, including crop research, livestock breeding, water management, and innovation for farmers' benefit,' the PID said. Both sides reached a consensus on a wide range of facilitation measures aimed at easing agricultural trade, including faster customs clearance, establishment of warehouses and cold chain systems, and improvements in border infrastructure to ensure perishable commodities reach markets efficiently and in prime quality. 'To ensure that these historic decisions are implemented effectively, a Joint Committee on Agricultural Cooperation was formally established,' the PID said. 'The Committee will meet every six months to review progress, resolve emerging issues, and maintain the momentum of cooperation.' The development comes more than a week after Pakistan and Iran signed agreements in the fields of politics, economy, culture and other vital sectors during Iranian President Dr. Masoud Pezeshkian's visit to Pakistan, aimed at raising their bilateral trade to $10 billion. Pakistan and Iran, which have remained at odds over instability along their porous border, have attempted to forge closer economic and investment ties through border markets and trade links in recent years. 'My deep belief is that we can easily, in a short time, increase the volume of our trade relations from the current $3 billion to the projected goal of $10 billion,' Pezeshkian told reporters during a joint press conference with Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif and high-level delegations from both countries in attendance. Both countries also discussed militancy along their shared border and exchanged 12 agreements and memorandums of understanding (MoUs) for cooperation in science, technology and innovation, cooperation in information and communications technology, exchange programs for culture, art, tourism, youth, mass media and exports, cooperation in meteorology, climatology, tourism cooperation and other fields.
