Countries not listed in Annex I may face a default 10% tariff under the updated framework. By targeting a broad swathe of trade partners, the policy underscores an increasingly protectionist trade stance, with impacts extending to global supply chains, consumer prices, and diplomatic relations.- EndsMust Watch

Zelensky Heads Back to Washington Under Pressure From Putin
Nearly six months ago, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky was asked to leave the White House after a televised confrontation with President Trump over 'real security guarantees' the Ukrainian leader insisted were needed for a peace agreement with Russia. When Zelensky returns to the Oval Office on Monday the gap over security guarantees will have narrowed, but a chasm over Moscow's territorial demands remains. That leaves Zelensky with a dilemma: how to sustain Trump's support while responding to Russian territorial proposals he feels compelled to refuse. Zelensky will have some important allies accompanying him this time, including the leaders of the U.K., France, Germany, Italy, Finland and the European Union. North Atlantic Treaty Organization Secretary-General Mark Rutte, who has developed a personal rapport with Trump, will also attend. But the diplomatic terrain threatens to be just as treacherous. While Trump administration officials have expressed fresh, if still vague, support for providing security guarantees, the White House has shelved its persistent demand that Russian President Vladimir Putin agree to an immediate cease-fire or face much tougher economic sanctions. Coming on the heels of Trump's Alaska summit with Putin, the stakes are high for Ukraine and its European supporters who are also striving to avoid a rift in the Western alliance and keep Trump focused on Putin as the obstacle to peace. Of all the issues, Putin's territorial demands will be the hardest for Zelensky to accept, including the possible exchange of territory within Ukraine to adjust the front line. A destroyed building in Ukraine's Donetsk region. Three years of full-scale war have left dozens of cities and towns razed. 'It is for the Ukrainians to decide how they might land swap,' special envoy Steve Witkoff told 'Fox News Sunday.' 'That's why Zelensky and the Europeans are coming to the White House on Monday to make those decisions themselves.' In Ukraine, many say Putin wants to drive a wedge between Kyiv and Washington by using the negotiations with Trump to try to put Zelensky in the position of losing U.S. support or facing a crisis at home if he were to make concessions to Russia. 'Putin wants all of Ukraine. It's not about territory,' said Kostyantyn Batozsky, a political analyst in Kyiv. Ukraine would continue to fight, even if Trump walked away, Batozsky said. Under a deal outlined by Putin on Friday, Ukraine would surrender its eastern Donbas region, including parts of Donetsk that Ukrainian forces still control. In exchange, Russia would freeze the conflict along the current contact line in Zaporizhzhia and Kherson and give up some area in those regions. A total withdrawal from Donetsk would create vulnerabilities for Ukraine militarily because some of its most robust defenses are there, former U.S. officials and experts say. 'Ceding those defenses would position Russia to reattack in the future with more of an advantage,' said David Shimer, a former National Security Council official during the Biden administration, who is now a scholar at Columbia University's School of International and Public Affairs. Acknowledging Russia's legal sovereignty over the region is also a political and constitutional nonstarter for Zelensky. The Ukrainian Constitution forbids trading land, Zelensky said in Brussels on Sunday, and such a matter could only be discussed in trilateral talks between Russia, Ukraine and the U.S. After more than three years of full-scale war, with tens of thousands dead and dozens of cities and towns razed, polls show a majority against even territorial concessions to Russia. One point of pressure Zelensky won't be able to count on is the prospect of intensified U.S. economic leverage on Moscow in the near term. Before the Alaska summit with Putin on Friday, Trump said there would be 'very severe consequences' if the Russian leader didn't agree to end the war. But after the Russian leader balked at a cease-fire, Trump said he would try to forge a finished peace agreement and might not need to think about whether to impose additional sanctions for two or three weeks. On Sunday, Secretary of State Marco Rubio said on NBC's 'Meet the Press' that the threat of intensified U.S. economic sanctions against Moscow wouldn't likely come into play unless the efforts to forge a peace over Russia's invasion of Ukraine completely broke down. Accepting Russia's de facto control of Ukrainian territory would be less of a bitter pill for Zelensky to swallow if it was accompanied by the U.S. security guarantees the Ukrainian leader has long demanded, and if Moscow's authority over the region wasn't cast as a permanent redrawing of Ukraine's borders. The U.K. and France have said they could deploy troops as part of a 'reassurance force' in the western part of Ukraine if a peace agreement was reached to deter future Russian aggression. But they have long sought a limited U.S. role—dubbed a 'backstop' by British officials—to safeguard European forces should they be in danger. Such a role, military analysts say, wouldn't need to involve U.S. boots on the ground in Ukraine, but could include indirect support such as having U.S. Air Force fighters outside Ukraine at the ready, providing European forces with U.S.-made air-defense systems, flying drones over Ukraine from outside the country, providing military intelligence and transporting European troops and equipment on U.S. planes. Russian President Vladimir Putin balked at a cease-fire when he met with President Trump in Alaska. Rubio said Sunday that fleshing out the details of how security guarantees might work in practice will be one of the main subjects in the Monday meeting. 'We're at a stage where we need to build some details on it and then ultimately, you know, obviously present that to the Russian side,' Rubio told Fox News. But first we have to have our, you know, our, our ducks in order.' While Rubio declined to provide details, Witkoff said security guarantees would be issued by individual countries and not NATO, a gesture that seems calculated to meet Moscow's opposition to ever incorporating Ukraine into the Western military alliance. Witkoff suggested the guarantees could be modeled on NATO's principle of collective defense, which is codified in Article 5 of the NATO treaty, which says that an enemy attack against one member would be viewed as an attack against all. 'It means that the United States is potentially prepared to be able to give Article 5 security guarantees but not from NATO, directly from the United States, and other European countries,' Witkoff told Fox News. 'That is big.' 'Now, it's for us to drill down on the granular details of exactly what the Ukrainians need to give them a sense of security in the future and by the way, what the Europeans need as well,' Witkoff added. Zelensky, who has sought to repair his relationship with Trump in meetings at the Vatican and at the NATO summit, will be joined by European leaders who have generally found ways to navigate the sometimes unpredictable White House. Thanking them for their support, Zelensky said on X: 'It's necessary to cease fire and work quickly on a final deal. We'll talk about it in Washington, D.C. Putin does not want to stop the killings. But he must do it.' Write to Michael R. Gordon at and James Marson at Zelensky Heads Back to Washington Under Pressure From Putin

Donald Trump's peace-deal demands leave Zelensky with only bad options
Volodymyr Zelenskyy finds himself in an impossible bind: risk Donald Trump's wrath or accept a quick deal to end Russia's war in Ukraine by paying the disastrous price of ceding territory for vague security guarantees that could see Moscow come back stronger in a few years' time. Fresh off a summit in Alaska with Vladimir Putin that bypassed a ceasefire, Trump has left Zelenskyy little room to maneuver. (AP) This is the existential dilemma confronting the Ukrainian leader as he travels to Washington for talks with the US president on Monday. Fresh off a summit in Alaska with Vladimir Putin that bypassed a ceasefire, Trump has left Zelenskyy little room to maneuver. Subscribe to the Bloomberg Daybreak Podcast on Apple, Spotify and other Podcast Platforms. The situation is made even more tenuous by the memory of his last visit to the White House in February that erupted into a bitter exchange between Zelenskyy and Trump and briefly led to a halt in military support. This time a coterie of European leaders will accompany him, but they have questionable leverage and haven't always been on the same page. The entourage will seek clarity from Trump on exactly what security guarantees the US is willing to provide as it attempts to orchestrate a meeting with the Ukrainian president and Putin. Among the group accompanying Zelenskyy are people Trump has struck a strong personal rapport with, including NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte and Finnish President Alexander Stubb. Aside from avoiding another dispute and maintaining Trump's interest in brokering a deal, Zelenskyy's objectives in the talks include: learning more about Putin's demands, pinning down the timing for a trilateral meeting, and prodding the US toward tougher sanctions against Russia, according to a person familiar with the matter, who asked not to be identified discussing private deliberations. Whether he can achieve any of these goals will depend on how much, in the view of European officials, Putin has gotten into Trump's head. After Friday's summit, Trump appeared to align again with the Russian president by dropping demands for an immediate ceasefire as a condition for opening negotiations. Instead, he said he'll urge Zelenskyy to act fast on a peace plan. 'Putin has many demands,' Zelenskyy said Sunday at a joint press conference with European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen in Brussels, a stopover to prepare for the Washington visit. 'It will take time to go through them all — it's impossible to do this under the pressure of weapons,' he said, adding that a ceasefire would be needed to 'work quickly on a final deal.' Raising the stakes for Kyiv, the US president sounded open to Putin's demands that Ukraine give up large areas of land in the east of the country, which the Russian army and its proxies have been trying to seize since 2014. Despite the harsh demands on Ukraine, there are signs that the US is now prepared to back a deal. Following his meeting with Putin, Trump told European leaders that the US could contribute to any security guarantees and that Putin was prepared to accept that. But it remains unclear what kind of security guarantees are being discussed with Putin, and what the Kremlin leader is willing to accept. 'We got to an agreement that the US and other nations could effectively offer Article 5-like language to Ukraine,' Steve Witkoff, Trump's special envoy, said in an interview with CNN, referring to the NATO provision that says if one ally is attacked, it is considered an attack on all members. Trump is also under pressure. He had promised that after taking office in January he would quickly end Russia's full-scale invasion, which is in its fourth year. His efforts were mainly targeted at Kyiv but he ultimately had to acknowledge it was the Kremlin that didn't want to stop the war. Instead of yielding to Trump, Russia has intensified attacks. Civilian deaths have mounted, with June and July the deadliest months in more than three years, according to the United Nations. Ahead of the Alaska summit, Trump said refusal to accept a ceasefire would trigger tough new punitive measures on Moscow and countries buying Russian oil. After the meeting, which included a red-carpet reception for Putin and a shared ride in the US leader's armored limo, Trump called off the threats. Rather than punish the aggressor, he declared he's seeking a full peace deal that includes 'lands' swap' and urged Zelenskyy to accept it. On Sunday, the Ukrainian leader reaffirmed his stance that he won't give up territory or trade land. 'Since the territorial issue is so important, it should be discussed only by the leaders of Ukraine and Russia' at a meeting accompanied by the US, Zelenskyy said. 'So far Russia gives no sign the trilateral will happen.' Zelenskyy's refusal to accept territorial losses is a position shared by the majority of Ukrainians. But the level of support has softened as counteroffensives sputter and casualties mount. Still, fears are that a further retreat could invite later attacks. Talks in Washington will also be pivotal for Zelenskyy domestically. In late July, he faced his first political crisis since Russia invaded. Thousands took to the streets over his move to undermine anti-corruption institutions. Zelenskyy relented and re-installed independence to agencies that investigate top officials. His position in the talks is complicated by divisions among the US, Ukraine and other allies. Trump believes Russia can take the whole of Ukraine — although the Kremlin has managed only to seize less than a fifth of Ukraine's territory despite more than 1 million war casualties. Europeans, meanwhile, are wary that favorable conditions could encourage Putin to widen his aggression. 'It is important that America agrees to work with Europe to provide security guarantees for Ukraine,' Zelenskyy said on Sunday. 'But there are no details how it'll work and what America's role will be, what Europe's role will be, what the EU can do. And this is our main task.'

US immigrant population falls by 2.2 million as Trump fuels fear: Decoded
Immigrant population in the United States may have dropped by roughly 2 million people in the first six months of the year, according to new government data. The figures offer an early signal that President Donald Trump's latest immigration crackdown could already be reshaping the numbers. Steven Camarota, director of research at the Washington-based Center for Immigration Studies, said in an analysis the estimated decline of 2.2 million foreign-born people in the Current Population Survey was the largest single-year drop in three decades. 'Either something has fundamentally changed in America, or the response rate has dramatically changed,' he said. Demographers suggest it could be both. But they also caution that the data has its limits. What do the recent immigration numbers show? An analysis of raw data from the US Bureau of Labor Statistics' Current Population Survey suggests the total foreign-born population fell by 2.2 million between January and July. Camarota and Karen Zeigler of CIS wrote that illegal immigrants may account for 1.6 million of that decline, citing evidence of increased out-migration and tighter enforcement. 'We preliminarily estimate that the number of illegal immigrants has fallen by 1.6 million in just the last six months,' they explained. Findings from their analysis include: 1. A total fall of 2.2 million foreign-born people, the steepest six-month decline recorded in the survey's history 2. All of the decline was among non-citizens, while the number of naturalised US citizens rose slightly 3. A 10 per cent reduction in the estimated illegal immigrant population, taking it to 14.2 million 4. A one million fall in employed foreign-born workers between January and July, alongside an increase of 2.5 million US-born workers Why are experts questioning the data? Julia Gelatt, associate director of US immigration policy at the Migration Policy Institute, said many households might now be fearful of admitting they are non-citizens. 'Because of the atmosphere – the mass deportation campaigns, the constant announcements – immigrants might be more reticent to answer,' she told USA Today. She added that respondents may be too scared to tell survey takers if they or their household members are immigrants. 'They may be afraid to say they are a noncitizen,' said Gelatt. Jed Kolko, senior fellow at the Peterson Institute for International Economics, agreed that caution was needed. 'Even with fewer immigrants coming to the US and more people leaving or being deported, an annual rate of 4 million is an extraordinary number that is way outside the range of immigration estimates that leading researchers have made,' Kolko told the US-based media outlet. Which Trump policies are driving the decline? The sharp drop in numbers coincides with a series of sweeping policies rolled out since Trump returned to the White House in January. Visa revocations have risen sharply, often over minor infractions. Indian students in particular report their visas being cancelled under scrutiny of SEVIS and OPT programmes. Some holders say they were told to self-deport rather than apply for renewals. A recent poll suggests one in six Indian H-1B visa holders feel threatened with deportation. Expanded enforcement powers under Executive Order 14159 have accelerated removals without court hearings and introduced penalties for undocumented immigrants. Other orders have suspended refugee admissions, restricted birthright citizenship for children of non-citizens, and ended categorical parole programmes, including CBP One appointments. A new law, dubbed the 'Big Beautiful Bill,' allocates $45 billion to expand detention through 2029. Alongside this, the Justice Department has been exploring denaturalisation of naturalised citizens linked to alleged fraud or security concerns. Sanctuary cities are also under pressure, with threats of lost federal funding and even suggestions of military intervention if they do not cooperate. Meanwhile, lawmakers say oversight of detention centres has been obstructed by rules requiring one week's notice before visits, a policy now facing a constitutional challenge. What are the limits of the survey? The Current Population Survey samples about 60,000 households each month, compared to the larger American Community Survey that draws on 2 million households. Because of its smaller sample, experts say it may exaggerate shifts in the population. Even Camarota, whose team published the analysis, conceded that stepped-up enforcement could be prompting some foreign-born respondents to avoid the survey or not identify themselves. 'It is possible that the observed decline in the foreign-born was due, at least in part, to a greater reluctance by immigrants to participate,' he wrote.
