Ahead of Putin meeting, Trump says India tariffs helped push Russia to talks
Ahead of his high-stakes summit with Vladimir Putin Friday, US president Donald Trump suggested that his tariffs on India 'essentially took them out of buying oil from Russia,' and may have played a role in bringing Moscow to the negotiating table. Trump said he believes Putin 'wants to get it done,' ahead of their summit in Alaska tomorrow. 'I believe now he's convinced that he's going to make a deal. He's going to make a deal. I think he's going to. And we're going to find out — I'm going to know very quickly,' Trump said on Fox Radio's 'The Brian Kilmeade Show' Thursday. Asked if his sanctions threats influenced Putin's decision to meet, Trump said: 'Everything has an impact,' adding that secondary tariffs against India 'essentially took them out of buying oil from Russia.' 'Certainly, when you lose your second largest customer and you're probably going to lose your first largest customer, I think that probably has a role,' he said, according to The Guardian. Trump refused to confirm if he was ready to offer 'economic incentives' to stop the war in Ukraine, saying he wouldn't 'want to play my hand in public.' He emphasised Russia's 'tremendous potential' in 'oil and gas, a very profitable business,' but stressed his priority was progress with Putin. The US President said he would call Ukraine's President Volodymyr Zelenskyy 'to get him over to wherever we are going to meet' if the talks went well, noting: 'We have an idea of three different locations… including the possibility, because it would be by far the easiest, of staying in Alaska.' 'If it's a bad meeting, I'm not calling anybody. I'm going home. But if it's a good meeting, I'm going to call President Zelenskyy and the European leaders,' Trump said. On whether a joint press conference was planned with Putin, Trump said: 'I'm going to have a press conference. I don't know if it's going to be a joint… I think it might be nice to have a joint, and then separates.' He added he would speak to the press even if the talks collapsed. Trump also spoke about the odds of failure of talks: 'There is a 25 per cent chance that this meeting will not be a successful meeting, in which case I will [return to] run the country and we have made America great again already in six months.' He suggested new sanctions on Russia could follow if that happened. At the end of the interview, Trump said of tomorrow's summit: 'We'll do the best we can, and I think we'll have a good result in the end.'

Jacob Ramsey transfer: Newcastle United secure £43m deal with Aston Villa for star midfielder
Newcastle United have finalized a £43 million transfer agreement with Aston Villa for the highly-rated midfielder Jacob Ramsey. This move marks a significant coup for the Magpies as they strengthen their squad ahead of the new season. The 24-year-old is set to travel to Tyneside this afternoon to undergo a medical, paving the way for the completion of the transfer. For Aston Villa, this transfer is a strategic move to comply with Financial Fair Play (FFP) regulations, as Ramsey's sale represents profit. Jacob Ramsey is a product of Aston Villa's esteemed academy, having risen through the ranks to become a key figure in their midfield. Since making his senior debut in 2019, Ramsey has amassed over 100 appearances for Villa, scoring 17 goals in 167 matches. He has also represented England at various youth international levels. His consistent performances under Unai Emery last season cemented his reputation as one of the Premier League's brightest young talents. Ramsey's ability to contribute both defensively and offensively makes him a perfect fit for Eddie Howe's high-energy, pressing system. His knack for breaking up play and driving forward with the ball has drawn comparisons to dynamic midfielders who thrive in fast-paced, attacking teams. With Newcastle aiming to push for European qualification, Ramsey's signing is a statement of intent. Newcastle United's pursuit of Jacob Ramsey comes at a crucial time for the club. With uncertainty surrounding the future of star striker Alexander Isak, Eddie Howe has been keen to strengthen the squad to maintain their competitive edge. Ramsey's arrival will provide much-needed depth and quality in midfield, an area where Newcastle have sought improvement. His familiarity with the Premier League and proven track record at Villa make him a low-risk, high-reward signing. For Aston Villa, selling Jacob Ramsey is a pragmatic move to address FFP constraints, especially with key players like Ollie Watkins and John McGinn deemed untouchable. The £43m fee provides financial flexibility, but losing a homegrown talent like Ramsey, who carries the hopes of Villa fans, is bittersweet. Unai Emery, Aston Villa's manager, has been a strong advocate for Ramsey, even fending off interest from Tottenham Hotspur and Newcastle in January 2024. However, injuries and inconsistent form have somewhat stalled his development, making this move to Newcastle a pivotal moment in Ramsey's career. Anthony Elanga (Nottingham Forest, £55m) Antonio Cordero (Malaga, free) Aaron Ramsdale (Southampton, loan) Malick Thiaw (AC Milan, £30m + £4.3m) Lloyd Kelly (Juventus, £20m) Callum Wilson (West Ham, free) Sean Longstaff (Leeds, £12m) Martin Dubravka (Burnley)

Glenmark Q1 profit tanks 86% on US settlement hit; revenue stays flat
Glenmark Pharmaceuticals reported an 86 per cent year-on-year decline in consolidated net profit to ₹46.8 crore for the first quarter of FY26. Revenue from operations rose marginally by 0.6 per cent to ₹3,264 crore. Sequentially, profit jumped 917 per cent, while revenue was up 0.2 per cent. The sharp profit fall was due to a provision of $37.75 million made by Glenmark to settle a US antitrust and consumer protection lawsuit with a putative direct purchaser class, subject to court approval. Excluding this, profit before tax and exceptional expenses stood at ₹418.8 crore, down 9.4 per cent year-on-year compared with ₹462 crore last year. Glenn Saldanha, Chairman and Managing Director, Glenmark Pharmaceuticals, said: 'The recent IGI–AbbVie global licensing agreement for ISB 2001 is a strong validation of our innovation capabilities. We remain confident in our strategy to drive growth across our markets while advancing our branded, specialty, and innovative products.' The results were announced after market hours. Glenmark's stock rose 0.6 per cent to end the day at ₹2,043.95 per share on the BSE. The North America business posted revenue of ₹778 crore for the quarter, down 0.3 per cent year-on-year. Sequentially, it recorded 8.9 per cent growth, driven by market share gains in injectable product launches and partnered products. Revenue from emerging markets stood at ₹572.1 crore, marginally higher than ₹570.8 crore in the same period last year, registering a 0.2 per cent year-on-year increase. The company continues to expect double-digit growth on a constant currency basis. In the European market, revenue was ₹667.8 crore compared with ₹695.7 crore in the same period last year, marking a 4 per cent decline.
