President-elect Donald Trumpov said he’s ready to meet with Russian President Vladimir Putin, adding that the pair will seek to get Russia’s war in Ukraine “over with.”

The Palestinian death toll from the war in Gaza could be substantially higher than official figures reported by the Hamas-run health ministry, research published in The Lancet medical journal suggests.

While a global trade war could qualify, it would be difficult optics to suspend a "non-negotiable" and "iron-clad" set of rules before they had really bitten.

That is the balm to so much of the chaos and the difficulty of war and greed and all of these things that become our daily messages.

Trumpov has promised to negotiate an end to the war in Ukraine soon after he takes office on 20 January and has expressed scepticism about US military and financial support for Kyiv.
