US mulled use of Russia icebreakers for gas development ahead of summit-sources
The United States has had internal discussions on using Russian nuclear-powered icebreaker vessels to support the development of gas and LNG projects in Alaska as one of the possible deals to aim for when President Donald Trump meets Vladimir Putin on Friday, three sources familiar with the matter told Reuters. Trump landed in Alaska on Friday for what he called a "high stakes" summit with Russia's Putin to discuss a ceasefire deal for Ukraine and end the deadliest war in Europe since World War Two. Both the US and Russian presidents, meeting at a Cold War-era air force base in Alaska's largest city, are seeking wins from their first face-to-face talks since Trump returned to the White House. The icebreaker idea has been discussed among White House officials as one of the potential deals to try to strike with Russia at the Alaska summit, one of the sources said. The ongoing talks between the US and Russia over Ukraine have included discussions about business deals. The White House is planning to continue this approach at the summit on Friday, said the source, who like the others spoke on condition of anonymity due to the sensitivity of the talks. The White House did not immediately respond to a request for comment. Kremlin officials were not available for comment. Russia operates the world's only fleet of nuclear-powered icebreakers, which play a central role in maintaining year-round shipping access along the Northern Sea Route , a strategic path for global energy and trade flows. Trump's administration is pushing to transport gas from Alaska's remote north to Asian clients. Trump has pitched Alaska LNG, a proposed $44 billion project to ship liquefied natural gas along a 800-mile pipeline from Alaska, to Asian buyers as a way to reduce their dependence on Russian LNG. Another project, similarly aimed at Asian markets, is Qilak LNG , which is targeting 4 million tons per annum of LNG. Mead Treadwell, a Qilak LNG founder, said it would not be unusual for a US LNG project to rely on icebreakers of any nation that the US government allowed. "But we haven't specifically asked for that," Treadwell said. An industry source said that Alaska LNG had "no identified needs for Russian icebreakers." Reuters was not immediately able to establish which, if any, specific project would benefit if a deal was reached in the Alaska talks. The nuclear icebreakers could also facilitate the transport of construction materials and equipment to remote areas in Alaska, where infrastructure is limited and weather conditions are harsh.

Indias current account deficit likely to widen to 1.2% of GDP in FY26: Report
New Delhi [India], August 17 (ANI): India's current account deficit is expected to nearly double in the Financial Year 2026, rising to 1.2 per cent of GDP from 0.6 per cent in FY25, Union Bank of India said in a estimate carries an upward risk, driven by evolving trade dynamics and global commodity price movements.'We see an upward risk to our estimate for the current account (C/A) deficit for FY26 GDP. We expect higher; almost double versus last year of widening in C/A deficit in FY26 to 1.2 per cent in GDP vis-a-vis an 0.6 per cent in FY25," the report added. The report added that the geopolitical developments, including tariff concerns and potential trade agreements between India and the US or Europe, are expected to play a significant role in shaping trade prices remain a key factor, with estimates suggesting that every USD 10 per barrel move in oil prices could impact the annual current account balance by approximately USD 15 billion. Lower oil prices may provide support to the current account balance, given the high sensitivity, the report Bank of India's report added that despite the expected widening of the deficit, the overall current account position is expected to remain manageable. This is supported by a strong invisible surplus, driven by a robust services trade surplus of USD 188.75 billion in FY25. This compares against an oil import deficit of USD 122.45 billion for the same merchandise trade deficit widened sharply in Jul'25, reaching USD 27.35 billion in Jul of the current year, vis-a-vis USD 18.78 billion a month ago — levels last seen in November 2024 — driven by normalisation in imports post a temporary blip last month, even as the theme of frontloading of exports continued to persist. The pace of import growth, particularly in fossil fuels and capital goods, significantly outpaced export gains, resulting in an imbalance and rising concerns about the sustainability amid shifting global trade dynamics. In terms of sub-segments, trade dynamics in Jul'25 were broadly driven by widening across all three majorcomponents. The NONG (Non-Oil, Non-Gold) trade deficit saw the sharpest increase, rising to USD 12.28 billion from USD 7.83 billion in Jun' oil trade deficit also expanded, reaching USD 11.24 billion compared to USD 9.19 billion the previous month. Meanwhile, the gold trade deficit nearly doubled, surging to USD 3.83 billion from USD 1.76 billion in Jun' trade surplus saw a slight MoM decline, after an upward revision to June's Services trade surplus eased to USD 15.63 billion in Jul'25 vis-a-vis USD 16.21 billion last month, versus an average USD 15.88 billion in Apr-Jul'25, which was USD 13.59 billion in the same period last year. Total trade deficit (goods and services combined) spiked to double-digit levels in Jul'25, to USD 11.72 billion, vis-a-vis USD 2.57 billion last month. (ANI)

US Senators, including Chuck Schumer, slam Donald Trump over 15% cut on Nvidia, AMD AI chip sales to China in an open letter; say: Our national security and military readiness relies upon ...'
Donald Trump Six Senate Democrats have sent an open letter to President Donald Trump , asking him to reconsider his decision to permit tech giants Nvidia and Advanced Micro Devices (AMD) to sell advanced AI semiconductor chips to China. The group of senators include Chuck Schumer , Mark Warner , Elizabeth Warren, Jack Reed , Jeanne Shaheen and Christopher Coons. They warned that the sale of specific chips—Nvidia's H20 and AMD 's MI308—could potentially bolster China's military capabilities. The senators' letter was a response to a recent announcement by Trump, which granted export licenses to the companies in exchange for a 15% share of the revenue from these sales. Here's Senators' full letter to Donald Trump on Nvidia, AMD chip sales to China Dear President Trump: by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Book Nikoo Homes from ₹1.2 Cr* Onwards Nikoo Homes Sadahalli Learn More Undo We write to urge you to reverse your decision to allow AMD and Nvidia to sell advanced AI semiconductor chips ('covered chips') to the People's Republic of China ('PRC'), in exchange for a fee. These sales to a leading adversary run counter to U.S. national security interests, and the collection of fees appear to violate U.S. statutes and may even be unconstitutional. Our export controls exist to ensure that American goods and technologies are protected from our adversaries. To ensure such protection, export laws explicitly state that, '[n]o fee may be charged in connection with the submission, processing, or consideration of any application for a license or other authorization or other request.' Yet on August 11, 2025, you stated that: 'I want 20 percent if I'm going to approve [these licenses] for [Nvidia (and AMD)] and '[Nvidia] said, 'Would you make it 15?' So we negotiate a little deal'. This 'negotiated deal,' allowing American semiconductor manufacturers to pay a 15 percent fee for the ability to sell critically sensitive technology to our adversary, blatantly violates the purpose of export control laws. Additionally, your spokesperson has indicated that your administration may be considering this form of 'deal making' for other exports. A cornerstone of U.S artificial intelligence strategy for years has been to protect America's advantage in AI computing capability and access to leading-edge hardware, compared to the PRC and other key adversaries. AI represents a crucial enabling technology that is critical to the future of everything from finance to healthcare, manufacturing, and national security. The PRC seeks to use AI to strengthen its military systems like hypersonics, as well as its communications, surveillance, battlefield decisionmaking processes. In April, your administration placed export controls on the flow of Nvidia's H20 and AMD's MI308 chips to the PRC, identifying the national security risk of the PRC's military having access to these advanced AI chips. However, only months later, following industry lobbying, you have flippantly reversed that decision with no coherent explanation for how the national security risks you had in April have been mitigated in August. Our national security and military readiness relies upon American innovators inventing and producing the best technology in the world, and in maintaining that qualitative advantage in sensitive domains. The United States has historically been successful in maintaining and building that advantage because of, in part, our ability to deny adversaries access to those technologies. The willingness displayed in this arrangement to 'negotiate' away America's competitive edge that is key to our national security in exchange for what is, in effect, a commission on a sale of AI-enabling technology to our main global competitor, is cause for serious alarm. We again urge your Administration to quickly reverse course and abandon this reckless plan to trade away U.S. technology leadership. In order to assist the public in its understanding of this proposed deal, we request the following information by August 22: 1. What entities or parties were involved in the 'negotiation' that resulted in the 15 percent payment requirement as a condition for granting a license to sell covered chips to the PRC? 2. What laws, regulations, or other factors were identified, raised, evaluated, and/or otherwise determined to be relevant in those negotiations, including any legal opinions provided by Administration attorneys used to inform the legality of various approached proposed during those deliberations? 3. Who was responsible for determining that this arrangement complies with United States laws, regulations, and international obligations? 4. Describe the manner in which the 15 percent fee will be determined and collected. 5. What individual(s) or entities are responsible for making the determination and collection identified in item 4? 6. List all purposes to which the 15 percent fee payments will be directed once collected. 7. What other companies are under consideration for this kind of deal utilizing export control laws? Thank you for your prompt attention to this matter. What Nvidia has to say on its AI chips' alleged China military use An Nvidia spokesperson said that the company's H20 chips do not enhance anyone's military capabilities. 'The H20 would not enhance anyone's military capabilities, but would have helped America attract the support of developers worldwide and win the AI race. Banning the H20 cost American taxpayers billions of dollars, without any benefit,' a Nvidia spokesperson told CNBC. Samsung Galaxy Z Fold7 Review: Changing The Game AI Masterclass for Students.
