U.S. Steel shares surge after Trump supports Nippon pact
Trump's statement on Truth Social emphasized the revival of "American Made" steel and the anticipated positive impact of his tariff policies on the industry. He highlighted that the partnership would lead to the largest investment in the history of Pennsylvania, with substantial developments to take place over the next 14 months.
The market's optimistic response comes in the wake of the White House confirming that Trump received a recommendation from the Committee on Foreign Investment in the U.S., which reviews such partnerships for national security implications.
The announcement aligns with Trump's broader America-first agenda, which has historically resonated with investors in the manufacturing sector. The planned partnership between U.S. Steel and Nippon Steel is set to reinforce the company's presence in the U.S. and enhance its competitive edge in the global steel market.
While the market has responded favorably to the news, it is important to note that the details of the partnership and its implications for U.S. Steel's future performance are yet to be fully disclosed.

Satellite Images Show How Ukraine Territory Has Changed During Russia War

As U.S. President Donald Trump arrives in Alaska for the first summit of his second term with Russian President Vladimir Putin, the biggest question is what will happen to Ukraine's territory. The two leaders will meet at a major U.S. military base in Anchorage later on Friday, in part to discuss an end to more than three and a half years of full-scale war that have ravaged eastern Europe since Moscow invaded its neighbor in early 2022. Ukraine's leader, Volodymyr Zelensky, will not attend the talks, despite reports that the White House was weighing up the involvement of Ukrainian president. Russia has so far refused Ukraine's repeated calls for a face-to-face meeting between Putin and Zelensky. Trump told European leaders on Wednesday that he wouldn't negotiate with Russia on territorial issues at the summit, according to Germany's chancellor, Friedrich Merz. But the thorny issue hangs over the Alaska meeting, after Russia reiterated its position on land in Ukraine remained unchanged. 1 of 4 Kyiv and Moscow's positions on the chunks of Ukraine that Russia will control in any ceasefire agreement have always been far apart, and there is little hint that this has changed. Trump has said both sides will be expected to cede territory in negotiations. Kyiv says it is against its constitution to give away Ukrainian land to Russia and Moscow has been unbending during months of peace talks. How Much Land Does Russia Control? Currently, Moscow controls around one-fifth of territory that is internationally recognized as part of Ukraine. This includes Crimea, the peninsula to the south of mainland Ukraine, which was annex by Moscow in 2014. That year, Russia also backed separatist fighters in Ukraine's Donbas region, which historically has been Ukraine's industrial heartland, made up of the Donetsk and Luhansk regions in the east. Russia now controls much of Donetsk, as well as swathes of the Zaporizhzhia and Kherson oblasts in the southeast. Russia claims it has captured all of Luhansk, although some Western assessments indicate Ukraine still controls a slither of the region. The Kremlin declared in fall 2022 it had annexed these four regions, although it did not—and still does not—have a grip on all the territory in these oblasts. In ceasefire negotiations, Russia has demanded Ukraine pulls out of Donetsk, Luhansk, Zaporizhzhia and Kherson—including from areas Ukraine still currently controls. Russia's other stipulations include limits on Ukraine's military, putting the Russian language on par with Ukrainian in official standings, and that Kyiv does not join NATO. Ukraine has repeatedly said that ceding Ukrainian territory to Russia is off the table. It goes against the country's constitution, Zelensky said again over the weekend. "No one will deviate from this—and no one will be able to," Zelensky said in a post on the messaging app Telegram on Saturday. "Ukrainians will not gift their land to the occupier." Ukraine has consistently said it needs security guarantees, and not to be bound by any limits on the size of its armed forces. Kyiv also does not want to be labeled a neutral state, but rather one firmly on the path to NATO and European Union membership. The Hot Spots As the conflict wore on and Moscow advanced, different cities became hot spots for fierce clashes between Russian and Ukrainian troops. Russia quickly became known for "meat grinder" assaults, sustaining high numbers of casualties in vicious battles in exchange for small but consistent territorial gains. Russia's progress is much slower in built-up, well-defended areas, like the cities it has thrown many resources, and soldiers, into capturing, according to analysts. Since the start of January to the end of April this year, Russia gained a total of 1,627 square kilometers, or 628 square miles, in Ukraine and in its own Kursk region, where it batted back Ukraine's cross-border incursion, the Institute for the Study of War, a Washington think tank, said in a report about the front lines in May. Russia sustained an average of 99 casualties for every square kilometer (0.38 square miles) of territory taken in those months, the ISW said. Pokrovsk Russian forces have spent roughly a year inching their way toward the Donetsk city of Pokrovsk, the city itself facing heavy bombardment. In recent months, Moscow has moved to encircle the settlement, a major logistics hub for Ukrainian troops. Popular Ukrainian war blog Deep State said earlier this week that Russian soldiers were "actively advancing" around Dobropillia, a town northwest of Pokrovsk. Dobropillia is connected to several so-called "fortress cities" critical to Ukraine's defense in Donetsk, namely Kostiantynivka, Druzhkivka and Kramatorsk. Deep State's analysis described the clashes as "chaotic," and that Russian troops had "found gaps in the defense."

The heavily fortified industrial town weathered a decade on the front lines, and Ukraine's defenses cemented ahead of Russia's offensive in October 2023. But Russian forces captured Avdiivka in February 2024, clinching a symbolic and strategic prize for the Kremlin that paved the way for further gains.

There was "nothing" left of the city, Zelensky said at the time. "They destroyed everything."

Kupiansk was quickly occupied by Russian forces that swept into the country in February 2022, but Ukrainian troops peeled back Russian control there as part of Kyiv's lightning counteroffensive in September the same year, a success it has not been able to replicate in the years since. But Kupiansk is once again brushing up against the front lines. A Ukrainian soldier fighting close to Kupiansk said on Wednesday that Russian forces were using small groups to find gaps in Ukrainian defenses, according to the ISW.

America's F-22 Faces Off Against Russia's Rival Su-57 For First Time
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. Russian President Vladimir Putin will meet with U.S. President Donald Trump later on Friday, marking the first time the Republican has spoken face-to-face with the Kremlin chief since returning to the White House. But the summit may mark another milestone. It could also be the first time Russia's fifth-generation Su-57 operates in the same airspace as the U.S.' F-22 Raptor jets. The meeting, described by Trump himself as "highly anticipated," is taking place at Joint Base Elmendorf–Richardson (JBER), home to a chunk of the U.S. Air Force's F-22s and key for U.S. power projection into the Arctic, a region where Russia is dominant and the U.S. is increasingly invested. If Putin flies into the base, it's likely he could be accompanied by the advanced Su-57s. Publicly-available information suggests F-22s and Su-57s have not crossed paths, although an Su-57 and an American F-35 fifth-generation jet both participated in an air show in India in February, which the Indian government described as a historic moment. The Su-57, also known by its NATO moniker, Felon, is often positioned as the Kremlin's rough equivalent of the F-22. Both are fifth-generation stealth fighter jets, which means they have advanced radars and avionics, designed to fly undetected and take out enemy air defense systems. A Russian Sukhoi Su-57 stealth fighter jet is seen at the 15th China International Aviation and Aerospace Exhibition, or Airshow China 2024, on November 7, 2024 in Zhuhai, China.

VCG/VCG via AP Fifth-generation jets are the most advanced generation of aircraft currently in operation, although programs to get sixth-generation jets airborne are well underway. The U.S. is the only country to operate F-22s, but 19 militaries fly the Lockheed Martin-made F-35. "If both aircraft meet up over the skies in Alaska, you can be sure both sides will try to learn as much about the other as possible, and both sides will try to hide as much as possible about the true capabilities of their aircraft as they can," said Frederik Mertens, a strategic analyst with TNO, a Dutch think tank. "As far as I know, Su-57 and F-22 have never met each other in the same airspace," he told Newsweek. "There aren't that many of both around." The U.S. has an estimated 165 F-22 Raptors, according to the 2025 edition of the Military Balance, the annual count of the world's armed forces compiled by the British defense think tank, the International Institute for Strategic Studies (IISS). Russia, meanwhile, has roughly 19 Su-57s. Unlike other jets widely used in Ukraine, such as Russia's Su-35 aircraft, Su-57 stealth fighters have not played a major role in the Kremlin's air campaign against its neighbor. Moscow launched its full-scale invasion of Ukraine in February 2022. When it has been used, the stealth fighter has generally remained far away from frontline clashes, intelligence reports from the British government indicated in early 2023. But reports filtering out of Ukraine have suggested Moscow has upped its use of the Su-57 in recent weeks. Ukraine said in mid-2024 it had successfully struck an Su-57 on an airfield hundreds of miles across the border. Although much about the exact specifications of the Su-57 and the F-22 are shrouded in secrecy, the Raptor generally comes out on top as the most advanced aircraft, Mertens said. "The F-22 has far superior stealth characteristics, where the Russian aircraft still shows its direct descendance from the Su-27 line," Mertens added. Several features of the Su-57 make it easier to pick up on radars or infrared sensors than the F-22, which is also kitted out with a very advanced radar, he said. However, the Su-57 is still a "very capable and very dangerous aircraft," Mertens continued. F-22s likely use radar reflectors, much like those on the F-35s that fly around NATO's eastern flank, he said. "If the Russians are smart, they will do the same." "But whatever happens, having the F-22 and the Su-57 next to each other will be a propaganda boon to the Russians, as this will at least give the impression that these aircraft are true equals," Mertens said.
