Trump asked Zelenskyy if Ukraine could hit Moscow, FT reports

US President Donald Trump has privately encouraged Ukraine to step up deep strikes on Russian territory, even asking Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy whether he could strike Moscow if the US provided long-range weapons, the Financial Times reported on Tuesday, citing people briefed on the discussions. The newspaper, citing two people familiar with the conversation between Trump and Zelenskyy, said the US president had asked his Ukrainian counterpart whether he could hit military targets deep inside Russia if he provided weapons capable of doing so. The White House did not immediately respond to a Reuters request for comment. Reuters could not verify the report.

Oracle to invest $3 bln in AI, cloud expansion in Germany, Netherlands

Oracle will invest $3 billion over the next five years in artificial intelligence and cloud infrastructure in Germany and the Netherlands to meet upbeat demand, the company said in separate statements on Tuesday. The cloud service provider plans to allocate $2 billion to Germany and $1 billion to the Netherlands. Major technology firms have poured tens of billions of dollars into developing AI infrastructure following the success of OpenAI's ChatGPT. Oracle, whose cloud offerings support companies in building AI infrastructure, has seen its shares surge about 38 percent so far this year. In June, the company raised its annual revenue forecast, driven by strong demand for its AI-related cloud services. Oracle is also part of a joint venture called Stargate, aimed at delivering large-scale computing capabilities to OpenAI.
