Oil slips as Russia supply concerns ease after Trump-Putin meet

By Florence Tan SINGAPORE (Reuters) -Oil prices slipped in early Asian trade on Monday as the United States did not exert more pressure on Russia to end the Ukraine war by implementing further measures to disrupt Moscow's oil exports after presidents from both countries met on Friday. Brent crude futures dropped 32 cents, or 0.49%, to $65.53 a barrel by 2213 GMT while U.S. West Texas Intermediate crude was at $62.57 a barrel, down 23 cents. U.S. President Donald Trump met Russian President Vladimir Putin in Alaska on Friday and emerged more aligned with Moscow on seeking a peace deal instead of a ceasefire first. Trump will meet Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy and European leaders on Monday to strike a quick peace deal to end Europe's deadliest war in 80 years. "What was primarily in play were the secondary tariffs targeting the key importers of Russian energy, and President Trump has indeed indicated that he will pause pursuing incremental action on this front, at least for China," RBC Capital analyst Helima Croft said in a note. "The status quo remains largely intact for now," she said, adding that Moscow will not walk back on territorial demands while Ukraine and some European leaders will balk at the land-for-peace deal.

Ukrainians in Boston not optimistic about President Trump's meeting with Zelenskyy; "It makes me mad"

As President Donald Trump prepares for the high stakes meeting on Monday with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, back home in Boston, Ukrainians don't feel optimistic. Since the war started three years ago, Yelena Cannata has been volunteering and employing every resource she has for the children of Ukraine to be introduced to early intervention services. "It makes me mad. I have zero trust in President Trump in regulating this war," said Cannata. She hopes Zelenskyy avoids a repeat of that infamous February meeting he had with the president in the Oval Office. "I do hope that out of tomorrow's meeting that lots of the European leaders will come in, there won't be that bullying like the last meeting in the Oval Office and there will be no nonsense about the suit. It should be concrete, normal adult conversation." On Friday, President Trump met with Russian President Vladimir Putin in Alaska. The summit ended early and with the two leaders making remarks without taking any questions. Vsevolod Petriv is head of the Boston chapter of the Ukrainian Congress Committee of America, an organization that looks out for the interest of Ukrainians in America, providing assistance as it relates to community service and politics. He said the president's recent meeting with Putin was disappointing and a peace deal would come at too much of a cost. "I don't see anything good coming out of it, given the current announcements. And it sounds like he's trading what they are saying is land," said Petriv. "The people in the area of Donbas that they haven't been able to take, they've been fighting hard for at least three years and so you are going to say to all those people we are going to give you to the aggressor that you've been fighting for peace that we know is meaningless because Putin will be back." Both Cannata and Petriv said they'll be looking to see what the next steps will be. "If you are going to give up the lands, which were just occupied without any rights, any rights, how would you consider this peace deal?" said Cannata.

Donald Trump deserves praise for having the nerve to meet Vladimir Putin face-to-face

Don's noble & fearless Not everyone will like me after I write this. But, then, some didn't like me even before I wrote this. Let's praise Donald. Thank him. Respect him. Who else had the gizzard, nerves, smarts to stand face-to-face to Satan's lying teeth in front of the world? Some don't believe in God, unsure about Buddha or Allah. OK. You don't like Donald? OK. But who else?! Biden — who's still looking where to pee? New Jersey's Menendez, who's now in the can? Even the Statue of Liberty shivered over Barack. Advertisement The whole world is scared. People tremble before asking bosses for a raise. Students cry before a test. Realtors just raise the rent. Nobody, nobody, not one body, has the gonads — besides Donald — to risk this risk. Don't like him? So? Mazel tov. Who else? Advertisement Who cares? You belch he's a dictator, too egotistical. So? Some things are in the veins. I share my home with a Yorkie. Name? Jellybean. I love him insanely. Jellybean's been housebroken for six years. He STILL pees on my kitchen floor. How about Adam Bullschiff who's now in the government's crosshairs. Him you like? Or Bernie Sanders, who specializes only in spitting? Slamdamnhammy, who has money yet lives in a cheapo apartment. That three-named ex-bartender who hit the Met Gala in an unpaid-for gown? These three blind mice are your selections? Them you like better? Dear leader Who you want to lead us? Another 'cold, austere, forbidding' John Quincy Adams, who did zip? Another Millard Fillmore, who thought slavery's not worth a civil war? Benjamin Harrison? Wore gloves before shaking hands? Coolidge? What did he do? Advertisement I don't hang around Mar-a-Lago like certain ancient leftovers hoping he'll notice and give them an ambassadorship in downtown Toiletville. But the man I have known for over 50 years, are we in touch? Yes. Quietly. By phone. By notes. By mail. Who else has the nerve, guts, strength, fearlessness to do this in the face of the entire world? How about the terrors of the rest of all of us? Afraid to take the subway. Afraid to walk alone at night. Afraid of the world. Sitting home watching TV eating your curds and whey while Donald — alone — is willing to risk? Remember Bush? Threw up on Japan's prime minister. Nixon? Well, forget Nixon. Bill Clinton's hobbies we know about. Advertisement So you say this one's a showoff? Yeah. So? He doesn't smoke. Doesn't drink. Has respectful children. He's redoing the White House, which hasn't been done since Sitting Bull sat up. He's disinfecting Washington, which makes today's Bed-Stuy look like Kiev. And the Dem donkeys — another word for donkeys is 'asses' — are knocking him? Dems da breaks Prefer another druggy Hunter type in the White House? More Secret Service bodies who shiver, quiver and can't notice a nearby shooter with a rifle? Jerk and Jill, who'd run up the hill to fetch another kettle of hair bleach? Citizenship in those nice places like Venezuela, Syria, Russia? Go. Send me a postcard from your cell. Steve Buscemi once said this: 'My favorite review described me as 'the cinematic equivalent of junk mail.' ' Our twice elected — fearless — Donald is doing. Trying. He should be applauded.
