Trump could meet Putin as soon as next week, White House official says

US President Donald Trump could meet in person with Russian President Vladimir Putin as soon as next week as he seeks to broker an end to the Russia-Ukraine war, a White House official said. The official cautioned that a meeting has not been scheduled yet and no location has been determined. The official was not authorised to speak publicly and spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity to discuss internal plans. The White House said Mr Trump was also open to a meeting with both Mr Putin and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky. A meeting between Mr Putin and Mr Trump would be their first since Mr Trump returned to office this year. It would be a significant milestone in the three-year-old war, though there is no promise such a meeting would lead to the end of the fighting since Russia and Ukraine remain far apart on their demands. News of a potential meeting with Mr Putin, which was first reported by The New York Times, came hours after Mr Trump's special envoy Steve Witkoff met Mr Putin in Moscow. Mr Trump had posted earlier on Truth Social that Mr Witkoff 'had a highly productive meeting' with Mr Putin in which 'great progress was made'. It was not immediately clear if Mr Putin or Mr Zelensky had agreed to any meetings with Mr Trump. Mr Zelensky has been willing to meet face-to-face with Mr Putin to end the conflict, but Russia has repeatedly rejected the idea. Mr Trump has met Mr Zelensky several times this year, including a contentious February meeting in Washington. Though he has not yet met Mr Putin this year, Mr Trump met with him five times during his first term. Mr Trump said earlier on Wednesday that he updated America's allies in Europe and that they will work toward an end to the Russia-Ukraine war 'in the days and weeks to come'. White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt said: 'The Russians expressed their desire to meet with President Trump, and the President is open to meeting with both President Putin and President Zelensky.' Her statement did not address the potential timing of any meeting. Mr Witkoff met Mr Putin days before the White House's deadline for Russia to reach a peace deal with Ukraine or potentially face severe economic penalties that could also hit countries buying its oil. The meeting between Mr Putin and Mr Witkoff lasted about three hours, the Kremlin said. Mr Putin's foreign affairs adviser Yuri Ushakov said Mr Putin and Mr Witkoff had a 'useful and constructive conversation' that focused on the Ukrainian crisis and, in a nod toward improving relations between Washington and Moscow, 'prospects for possible development of strategic co-operation' between the United States and Russia.

Trump could meet Putin as early as next week to discuss Ukraine ceasefire

Donald Trump could meet Vladimir Putin in person as early as next week to discuss a ceasefire in Ukraine, a White House official has said. They said the meeting would be conditional on the Russian president meeting his Ukrainian counterpart Volodymyr Zelenskyy, Sky News's US partner network NBC News reported. It came days before the White House's deadline for Russia to reach a peace deal with Ukraine or face severe economic penalties, which could also target countries buying its oil. Ukraine war latest: Trump could meet with Putin as early as next week Earlier in the day, Mr Putin held talks with Mr Trump's special envoy Steve Witkoff in Moscow, with the meeting lasting around three hours. In a post on Truth Social, Mr Trump said Mr Witkoff "had a highly productive meeting" with Mr Putin in which "great progress was made". He said he had updated America's European allies and they will work towards an end to the Russia-Ukraine war "in the days and weeks to come". Mr Zelenskyy later said he and Mr Trump spoke on the phone after the meeting. He said "European leaders also participated in the conversation" and "we discussed what was said in Moscow". He added: "Our common position with our partners is absolutely clear: The war must end. We all need lasting and reliable peace. Russia must end the war that it started." He later said: "It seems that Russia is now more inclined to agree to a ceasefire." He added that the pressure on Moscow "is working", without elaborating, and stressed it was important to make sure Russia does not "deceive us or the United States" when it comes to "the details" of a potential agreement.

Thursday Briefing: Trump Threatens to Double India's Tariffs

Trump ratcheted up tariffs on India to 50 percent President Trump signed an order yesterday that would double tariffs on India to 50 percent as punishment for the country's purchase of Russian oil. The new 25 percent tariff, which will be added to the 25 percent tariff Trump announced last week, will take effect on Aug. 27 if India doesn't stop buying Russian oil. Trump also threatened to impose similar penalties on other countries that buy Russian energy, as a way to pressure the Kremlin into ending the war with Ukraine. India's foreign ministry called the move 'extremely unfortunate' and reiterated that it was importing oil from Russia to meet the energy needs of its 1.4 billion people. India is the second-largest importer of Russian oil after China; Turkey is another major oil customer. Here's what to know about India's oil trade with Russia. Analysis: Trump had been expected to bolster trade with India as a counterweight to China. Now, Trump has all but declared economic war against India, writes Alex Travelli, who covers the Indian economy. Trump intends to meet with Zelensky and Putin Trump told European leaders during a call yesterday that he intends to sit down with President Vladimir Putin of Russia as soon as next week. He then aims to meet with both Putin and the Ukrainian president, Volodymyr Zelensky, according to two people familiar with Trump's plan. It was not immediately clear whether Putin or Zelensky had agreed to the joint meeting. Zelensky said in a statement that he had a conversation with Trump and that he and Europe's leaders agreed that the war in Ukraine 'must end,' but that it must be 'an honest end.' Trump's announcement came after his envoy, Steve Witkoff, met with Putin. Russian news agencies reported that the talks in the Kremlin lasted about three hours. Trump has been stymied for months in his efforts to negotiate a peace agreement between Russia and Ukraine after more than three years of war.

China turns to A.I. in information warfare The Chinese government is using companies with expertise in artificial intelligence to monitor and manipulate public opinion in Hong Kong and Taiwan, according to current and former U.S. officials and documents. Internal documents from the Chinese company GoLaxy show how Beijing had undertaken influence campaigns in Hong Kong and Taiwan, and collected data on members of the U.S. Congress and other influential Americans. Experts said that using A.I. in this way could result in far more sophisticated influence operations than those in the past. GoLaxy denied that it had done any work related to Hong Kong or other elections and said its products were mainly based on open-source data, and did not specifically target U.S. officials. After being contacted by The Times, GoLaxy began altering its website, removing references to its national security work on behalf of the Chinese government.
