Trump says Russia will face sanctions in 10 days if it does not move to end Ukraine war
U.S. President Donald Trump said he would start imposing tariffs and other measures on Russia 'ten days from today' if Moscow did not make progress toward ending the war in Ukraine.
Trump, who first announced on Monday that he was shortening his initial 50-day deadline for action from Moscow, said he had not heard a response from Russia.
Speaking to reporters aboard Air Force One, Trump also said he was not worried about the potential impact of Russian sanctions on the oil market or prices, saying the U.S. would boost domestic oil production to offset any impact.

Thank you for your attention to this problem!' Trump made the post after Senator Tom Cotton sent a letter to Intel Chairman Frank Yeary expressing concern over CEO Lip-Bu Tan's investments and ties to semiconductor firms that are reportedly linked to the Chinese Communist Party and the People's Liberation Army. Cotton specifically called out Tan's recent leadership of Cadence Design Systems in the letter. The tech company admitted in July to selling its products to China's National University of Defense Technology in violation of U.S. export controls. 'In March 2025, Intel appointed Lip-Bu Tan as its new CEO,' Cotton wrote in the letter. 'Mr. Tan reportedly controls dozens of Chinese companies and has a stake in hundreds of Chinese advanced-manufacturing and chip firms. At least eight of these companies reportedly have ties to the Chinese People's Liberation Army.' Intel's stock dropped more than 4% in premarket trading.

Wall Street rises as stock markets worldwide take Trump's new tariffs in stride
Traders work on the floor of the New York Stock Exchange, Friday, Aug. 1, 2025, in New York. (AP Photo/Yuki Iwamura) NEW YORK — Stocks are rising on Wall Street Thursday, even as U.S. President Donald Trump's latest tariffs kicked into effect on dozens of countries. The S&P 500 was 0.5 per cent higher in early trading and sitting just a bit below its record, which was set late last month. The Dow Jones Industrial Average was up 254 points, as of 9:31 a.m. Eastern time, and the Nasdaq composite was 0.8 per cent higher. Worries are still high that Trump's tariffs are damaging the economy, particularly after last week's worse-than-expected report on the job market. But hopes for coming cuts to interest rates by the U.S. Federal Reserve and a torrent of stronger-than-expected profit reports have been overshadowing the concerns on Wall Street, at least for now. Lower interest rates can give the economy and investment prices a boost, though the downside is that they can also push inflation higher. The Bank of England cut its main interest rate on Thursday in hopes of bolstering the sluggish U.K. economy. The U.S. tariffs that took effect Thursday morning were also already well known, as well as lower than what Trump had initially threatened. Some countries are still trying to negotiate down the tax rates on their exports, and continued uncertainty seems to be the only certainty on Wall Street. All the while, the U.S. stock market faces criticism that it's climbed too far, too fast since hitting a bottom in April and left prices looking too expensive. The latest reports on the U.S. economy came in mixed, meanwhile, which left U.S. Treasury yields relatively stable in the bond market. One said that slightly more U.S. workers applied for unemployment benefits last week, which could be an indication of rising layoffs. But the number remains within its recent range. 'There is nothing to see here!' according to Carl Weinberg, chief economist at High Frequency Economics. 'These are not nearly recession readings.' A separate report said that productivity for U.S. workers improved by more during the spring than economists expected. That could help the U.S. economy grow without adding more pressure on inflation, which is particularly important when Trump's tariffs look set to increase prices for all kinds of things that U.S. households and businesses buy. On Wall Street, Apple again helped lead the market amid hopes that its massive size can help it navigate the new economy Trump is trying to fashion. Its stock rose 1.8 per cent after its CEO, Tim Cook, joined Trump at the White House on Wednesday to say it's increasing its investment in U.S. manufacturing by an additional US$100 billion over the next four years. DoorDash climbed 7.3 per cent after the food delivery app topped Wall Street's profit expectations for the latest quarter. It attracted new customers and saw the total number of orders increase. Duolingo, the language-learning app, soared 31.3 per cent after it crushed Wall Street's expectations. The company said its subscription revenue grew 46 per cent over the same period last year. They helped offset a drop for Eli Lilly, which fell 11 per cent even though the drugmaker reported a stronger profit than analysts expected. Analysts said some investors were disappointed with results that Lilly provided for a late-stage study of orforglipron, its potential pill version of the popular weight-loss drug Zepbound. Intel slipped 1.2 per cent after Trump called for its CEO to resign, while accusing him of being 'highly CONFLICTED,' though he gave no evidence. In stock markets abroad, indexes rose across much of Europe and Asia. Stocks rose 0.2 per cent in Shanghai and 0.7 per cent in Hong Kong after China reported that its exports picked up in July, helped by a flurry of shipments by businesses taking advantage of a pause in Trump's tariff war with Beijing. Japan's Nikkei 225 rose 0.6 per cent. Toyota Motor's stock fell after it cut its full-year earnings forecasts largely because of President Donald Trump's tariffs, but Sony rose after the entertainment and electronics company indiciated it's taking less damage from the tariffs than it had expected. In the bond market, the yield on the 10-year Treasury remained at 4.22 per cent, where it was late Wednesday. ___ AP business writers Teresa Cerojano and Matt Ott contributed. By Stan Choe

U.S. applications for jobless benefits up modestly but remain at a healthy level
WASHINGTON — WASHINGTON (AP) — The number of Americans filing for jobless benefits rose modestly last week, a sign that employers still retaining workers despite economic uncertainty related to U.S. trade policy. Jobless claims for the week ending Aug. 2 rose by 7,000 to 226,000, the Labor Department reported Thursday, slightly more than the 219,000 new applications that economists had forecast. The report is the first government labor market data release since Friday's grim July jobs report sent financial markets spiraling downward, spurring President Donald Trump to fire the head of the agency that tallies the monthly jobs numbers. Weekly applications for jobless benefits are seen as a proxy for U.S. layoffs and have mostly settled in a historically healthy range between 200,000 and 250,000 since COVID-19 throttled the economy in the spring of 2020. It was just the second time in eight weeks that jobless benefit applications rose. While layoffs remain low by historical standards, there has been noticeable deterioration in the labor market this year. Last week, the government reported that U.S. employers added just 73,000 jobs in July, well short of the 115,000 expected. Worse, revisions to the May and June jobs figures shaved a stunning 258,000 jobs off previous estimates and the unemployment rate ticked up to 4.2% from 4.1%. 'The 'no hire/no fire' theme in the labor market remains firmly intact,' analysts for Jeffries wrote in a note to clients. Many economists contend that Trump's erratic tariff rollout in April created uncertainty for employers, who have grown reluctant to expand their payrolls. Friday's grim jobs report raised the ire of Trump, who alleged that the data was manipulated for political reasons and ordered the firing of Erika McEntarfer, the head of the Bureau of Labor Statistics, which produces the monthly jobs figures. The firing was roundly criticized by economists, who, along with Wall Street investors, have long considered the job figures reliable. Stock and bond markets often react sharply when they are released. U.S. markets recoiled at last week's jobs report, with the Dow Jones Industrial Average tumbling more than 600 points on Friday. The BLS does not contribute to the weekly unemployment benefits report except to calculate the annual seasonal adjustments that account for changes in weather, holidays, and school schedules. The Department of Labor's Employment and Training Administration collects the weekly unemployment insurance claims reported by each state. There was another indicator that the labor market is softening in a government report last week that revealed employers posted 7.4 million job vacancies in June, down from 7.7 million in May. The number of people quitting their jobs — a sign of confidence in finding a better job — fell in June to the lowest level since December. Hiring also fell from May. Yet major companies have announced job cuts this year, including Procter & Gamble, Dow, CNN, Starbucks, Southwest Airlines, Microsoft, Google and Facebook parent company Meta. Most recently, Intel and The Walt Disney Co. announced staff reductions. The deadline on most of Trump's stiff proposed taxes on imports kicked in on Thursday, though some deals have been made and other deadlines to negotiate have been extended. Unless Trump reaches deals with countries to lower the tariffs, economists fear they could act as a drag on the economy and spark another rise in inflation. Thursday's report also showed that the four-week average of claims, which smooths out some of the week-to-week volatility, fell by 500 to 220,750. The total number of Americans collecting unemployment benefits for the previous week of July 26 jumped by 38,000 to 1.97 million, the highest level since November of 2021.
