US Secretary of State Marco Rubio, Special Envoy Steve Witkoff to join Trump-Putin meeting
United States Secretary of State Marco Rubio and Special Envoy Steve Witkoff will join the high-profile meeting between US President Donald Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin, White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt confirmed aboard Air Force One on Friday.
The summit, originally planned as a one-on-one discussion between the two leaders, will now take place in a 'three-on-three' format, with Rubio and Witkoff joining Trump on the American side. The Russian delegation's representatives for the revised format have not yet been disclosed.
The meeting is set for 11:00 am local time at Joint Base Elmendorf-Richardson in Anchorage, Alaska — the first face-to-face encounter between Trump and Putin since 2019. It is expected to address security guarantees for Ukraine, arms control, and the overall trajectory of US-Russia relations.
Following the smaller format talks, broader negotiations between the American and Russian delegations are scheduled to take place, underscoring the summit's significance in ongoing efforts to find a resolution to the Ukraine conflict.

UPS vs. Whirlpool: 2 High-Yield Stocks That Crashed, but Only one Is a Buy
Key Points Both UPS and Whirlpool's stocks are on multiyear downtrends, raising their yields. Whirlpool has cut its dividend in response, but UPS hasn't. However, UPS will likely feel a bigger negative impact from tariffs. 10 stocks we like better than United Parcel Service › Do you like bargain-priced stocks? How about bargain-priced dividend stocks? How about bargain-priced dividend stocks that you've actually heard of? Well, you're in luck! The stocks of two iconic American brands are currently sitting in the bargain bin. The companies are shipping behemoth UPS (NYSE: UPS) and appliance maker Whirlpool (NYSE: WHR). Both stocks have been slowly sinking for years, with share prices now down more than 60% from their all-time highs! Both stocks fell again -- by more than 15% -- after their recent second-quarter earnings reports, but one looks more likely to recover. Only one cut its dividend Both UPS and Whirlpool have long histories of paying and regularly increasing their dividends. By July, their share-price slumps had pushed both of their dividend yields above 7%. A yield that high is tempting, but neither company was on track to generate enough free cash flow to cover it. When a company can't cover its dividend with free cash flow, it has to dip into the cash on its balance sheet, take on additional debt, or find some other way to fund the payout. UPS is going to try to make it work somehow, according to CEO Carol Tome on the Q2 earnings call. She told investors, "You have our commitment to a stable and growing dividend." That means the company will be on the hook for at least $5.5 billion in dividend payouts this year, which seems almost certain to exceed its free cash flow for the year. That keeps UPS's yield high for now, but investors should remember that there's no guarantee the company's position won't change without warning, resulting in a surprise dividend cut. Whirlpool, on the other hand, cut its annual payout in half from $7 per share to $3.50 per share. That means its yield is now much lower than UPS's (4% vs. 7.5%), but its $190 million total payout is also much more manageable, making its dividend more sustainable over the long term. It also means the dividend cut is baked into the company's current share price, whereas if UPS makes a cut, its stock price will probably sink even lower in response. The ups and downs of tariffs UPS and Whirlpool are both bracing for the impact of tariffs, but in different ways. For UPS, the tariffs are a huge risk. They will likely cause imports to decline, resulting in lower shipping volumes. With some tariffs kicking in just as the labor market shows signs of weakness, they could negatively impact overall consumer spending (and thus, shipping) during the critical holiday shopping season. On the other hand, the tariffs may actually help Whirlpool by hurting its foreign competitors like LG, Samsung, and Haier. The Trump administration has proposed high tariffs on countries that happen to export lots of large appliances to the U.S. These include South Korea (25%), Thailand (36%), Vietnam (46%), and China (as high as 145%). Many of these rates are in flux, but even if they end up at 10% or 15%, it will still give Whirlpool, which manufactures more than 80% of its products in the U.S., a big pricing advantage. Although UPS's yield may now be higher than Whirlpool's, its prospects are looking dimmer thanks to economic factors outside of its control. Meanwhile, even after its dividend cut, Whirlpool still offers a decent yield and a compelling valuation. If I were to pick one, I'd go with Whirlpool hands down.
