EPA to defend Biden-era lead drinking water rule
In a short legal filing, the Justice Department said it will allow litigation to continue on the regulation, which was paused in February by the Trump administration. Water utilities have sued to overturn the rule.
Still, the department and an EPA spokesperson stopped short of saying whether the administration planned to tweak the rule, one of the last major environmental regulations of the Biden administration.

'DOJ is now moving forward with the process of defending the rule. At the same time, EPA will develop new tools and information to support practical implementation flexibilities and regulatory clarity,' the EPA spokesperson said in an email, adding that next steps would be announced 'in the coming months.'

US and Russia plan truce deal to cement Putin's gains in Ukraine
(Bloomberg) — Washington and Moscow are aiming to reach a deal to halt the war in Ukraine that would lock in Russia's occupation of territory seized during its military invasion, according to people familiar with the matter. US and Russian officials are working toward an agreement on territories for a planned summit meeting between Presidents Donald Trump and Vladimir Putin as early as next week, the people said, speaking on condition of anonymity to discuss private deliberations. The US is working to get buy-in from Ukraine and its European allies on the deal, which is far from certain, the people said. Putin is demanding that Ukraine cede its entire eastern Donbas area to Russia as well as Crimea, which his forces illegally annexed in 2014. That would require Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy to order a withdrawal of troops from parts of the Luhansk and Donetsk regions still held by Kyiv, handing Russia a victory that its army couldn't achieve militarily since the start of the full-scale invasion in February 2022. Such an outcome would represent a major win for Putin, who has long sought direct negotiations with the US on terms for ending the war that he started, sidelining Ukraine and its European allies. Zelenskiy risks being presented with a take-it-or-leave-it deal to accept the loss of Ukrainian territory, while Europe fears it would be left to monitor a ceasefire as Putin rebuilds his forces. Russia would halt its offensive in the Kherson and Zaporizhzhia regions of Ukraine along the current battlelines as part of the deal, the people said. They cautioned that the terms and plans of the accord were still in flux and could still change. It's unclear if Moscow is prepared to give up any land that it currently occupies, which includes the Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant, the largest in Europe. The White House didn't reply to a request to comment. Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov didn't immediately respond to a request to comment. Ukraine declined to comment on the proposals. The agreement aims essentially to freeze the war and pave the way for a ceasefire and technical talks on a definitive peace settlement, the people said. The US had earlier been pushing for Russia to agree first to an unconditional ceasefire to create space for negotiations on ending the war that's now in its fourth year. Having returned to the White House in January on a pledge to rapidly resolve Europe's worst conflict since World War II, Trump has expressed increasing frustration with Putin's refusal to agree to a ceasefire. The two leaders held six phone calls since February and Trump's envoy Steve Witkoff met with Putin five times in Russia to try to broker an agreement. Trump hasn't implemented any direct measures against Moscow so far, though he doubled tariffs on Indian goods to 50% this week for its purchases of Russian oil, sparking outrage in New Delhi. He has demanded that Putin agree to a ceasefire by Friday or the US would act to impose tariffs on countries buying Russian oil to ramp up economic pressure on Moscow. Putin has repeatedly insisted that his war goals remain unchanged. They include demands for Kyiv to accept neutral status and abandon its ambition of NATO membership, and to accept the loss of Crimea and the other four eastern and southern Ukrainian regions to Russia. Parts of Donetsk and Luhansk have been under Russian occupation since 2014, when the Kremlin incited separatist violence shortly after the operation to seize Crimea. Putin declared the four Ukrainian regions to be 'forever' part of Russia after announcing that he was annexing them in September 2022, even as his forces have never fully controlled those territories. Ukraine cannot constitutionally cede territory and it has said it won't recognize Russian occupation and annexation of its land. It's still unclear if Putin would agree to take part in a trilateral meeting with Trump and Zelenskiy next week, even if he had already struck an agreement with the US president, the people added. The Russian leader told reporters on Thursday that he didn't object to meeting Zelenskiy under the right conditions, though he said they don't exist now. Multiple officials, including in the US, have expressed skepticism over Putin's willingness to call a halt to the war and whether he's genuinely interested in a peace deal that would fall short of his stated goals in Ukraine, according to the people. Trump said on Thursday that he'd be willing to meet with Putin, even if the Russian leader hadn't agreed to also sit down with Zelenskiy, apparently overriding earlier suggestions of a trilateral meeting. 'I don't like long waits,' Trump told reporters in the Oval Office. 'They would like to meet with me and I will do whatever I can to stop the killing.' Kremlin foreign policy aide Yuri Ushakov said Thursday that Russian and US officials are finalizing details for a meeting within the next few days and that they have agreed on a venue, which he didn't name. The US had previously offered to recognize Crimea as Russian as part of any deal to halt the war, and to effectively cede Russian control of parts of other Ukrainian regions. As part of those earlier proposals, control over areas of Zaporizhzhia and Kherson would be returned to Ukraine. ©2025 Bloomberg L.P.

Stock market today: Dow, S&P 500, Nasdaq climb as Wall Street eyes Trump moves on Fed
US stocks rose on Friday as Wall Street assessed President Trump's nomination of Stephen Miran to the Federal Reserve Board of Governors and took in his new regime of sweeping tariffs. The Dow Jones Industrial Average (^DJI) rose 0.5%, and the benchmark S&P 500 (^GSPC) gained 0.7%. The tech-heavy Nasdaq Composite (^IXIC) climbed 0.8%. Gold futures (GC=F) in New York rose above London prices on Friday after the Financial Times reported that the US now plans to put tariffs on gold bar imports. Stocks had traded mixed during the day on Thursday as investors assessed a reshaped trade landscape after Trump's deadline for countries to strike deals on tariffs expired, setting in motion higher duties on dozens of countries worldwide. The indexes trimmed earlier losses following Trump's nomination of Stephen Miran, current chairman of the Council of Economic Advisors, to serve on the Fed board. Read more: The latest on Trump's tariffs Miran's nomination must pass Senate approval, and it's unclear how long that might take with lawmakers on August recess. Trump's decision on Miran also underscored his search for the next Fed chair. He has talked up the "two Kevins" — current economic adviser Hassett and former Fed governor Warsh — and a report on Thursday said current governor Christopher Waller is seen as the favorite by Trump's team. Amid all the jockeying, about 90% of bets are on the current Fed to cut rates in September. This week has been a bumpy ride for Wall Street. Monday opened with markets recovering from a disappointing slew of job data that stoked fears of broader economic troubles and led to increased rate cut bets. Corporate earnings and the question of how companies like Apple (AAPL) might weather Trump's latest tariffs largely drove investor sentiment throughout the week.

Trade Desk tumbles after CEO warns of tariff impact on large brand advertisers Trade Desk (TTD) stock fell by more than a third during premarket trading on Friday after CEO Jeff Green warned that tariff uncertainty began to weigh on some leading global advertisers. If losses hold, the decline in Trade Desk stock would wipe out more than $12 billion from the company's market capitalization. The stock was off by 38% just after the opening bell. The Trade Desk, which specializes in helping advertisers buy and optimize digital ad campaigns, has concentrated on large global advertisers, making them more vulnerable to tariff uncertainty. "The impact of tariffs and related policies on these [large] businesses are very real," Green said on the earnings call. "Most others rely heavily on SMBs, and our platform is largely concentrated on the large global advertisers. So we see the effects that are directly impacting them." "I would argue that this is a short-term negative," he added, noting that the company's focus on large companies "is almost always a positive, but just in this moment, it's negative because of how uniquely they're being affected by the tariffs and related policies." The Trade Desk's second quarter earnings of $0.18 per share were in line with analyst estimates. Revenue of $694 million beat analyst estimates of $686 million, according to S&P Global Market Intelligence. The company expects third quarter revenue of at least $717 million, roughly in line with estimates. Read more here.
