Germany's Top Diplomat Expects New US Sanctions Against Russia
German Foreign Minister Johann Wadephul said after meeting his US counterpart Marco Rubio that he's optimistic Washington will issue new sanctions against Russia if President Vladimir Putin continues to dodge a peace agreement with Ukraine. 'We have a common position regarding Ukraine,' Wadephul said in Washington after a 45-minute meeting with Rubio on Wednesday. 'Here in the United States, over 80 senators are prepared to consider and pass a sanctions bill in Congress. That is not in the hands of my interlocutor today, but of the Senate. But he, like me, assumes that if Putin continues his attitude of denial, action will be taken.'

RWE CEO Could Double US Projects With More Policy Certainty
German energy company RWE AG said it could double its planned investment projects in the US, if there was greater policy certainty. RWE is one of the biggest renewable energy companies in the US since completing its acquisition of Con Edison in 2023. Two months ago, the firm said it would cut €10 billion ($11.4 billion) from its planned investment in green technologies by the end of the decade as projects face higher risks, particularly in the US. The company is currently building 5 gigawatts of capacity in the US.
