Jaishankar, Rubio agree on sealing trade deal early

Both sides aim to increase market access, reduce trade barriers, and strengthen supply chain integration. India has not imposed retaliatory tariffs, choosing negotiation instead.

In a dramatic turn after the collapse of the latest Russia-Ukraine peace talks in Istanbul, Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov and U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio held a crucial phone call discussing the future of negotiations and potential ceasefire conditions. Lavrov welcomed Washington's “constructive” approach, while Rubio praised a proposed 1,000-for-1,000 POW exchange as a positive step. As both sides seek new diplomatic footing, speculation is mounting over a possible high-stakes meeting between Presidents Vladimir Putin and Donald Trump to break the deadlock and chart a path toward ending the war.

President Trump has revealed that Iran received a fresh U.S. proposal for a new nuclear agreement. Urging swift action, Trump warned Tehran to “move quickly” or face serious consequences. Secretary of State Marco Rubio stressed the urgency, citing Iran’s 60% enriched uranium stockpile—just a short step from weapons-grade levels. With four rounds of backchannel talks in Oman and increasing pressure from Congress, the stakes are high. Trump claims Iran has “sort of agreed,” promising a future without “nuclear dust”—but Republicans are demanding a tougher stance.

As famine looms in Gaza, US Secretary of State Marco Rubio says Washington is open to alternatives after a US-Israel aid plan was slammed by critics and rejected by the UN. Speaking from Turkey, Rubio emphasized concern for Gaza’s civilians, calling for solutions that bypass Hamas. The new Geneva-based Gaza Humanitarian Foundation plans to deliver 300 million meals, but little is known about it. The UN insists its impartial system remains the best route. Meanwhile, Netanyahu prepares a new offensive and reiterates a firm stance on Hamas’ elimination.

Secretary of State Marco Rubio says the Ukraine peace talks in Turkey are doomed without Trump and Putin. As leaders from Russia and Ukraine land in separate cities across Türkiye, confusion reigns over when talks will even begin. With neither Putin nor Trump in attendance, Rubio warns of a diplomatic deadlock. Trump, aboard Air Force One, echoed the sentiment, saying peace requires a direct face-off with Putin. Meanwhile, Zelenskyy slammed the Kremlin for its absence and disrespected Erdoğan, deepening tensions. Can diplomacy survive without the two biggest players at the table?

Donald Trump has claimed that India is ready to eliminate 100% tariffs on US goods, calling it a major breakthrough. However, India’s external affairs minister S. Jaishankar countered, saying trade negotiations are ongoing and far from final. Trump says he’s in no rush for a deal, even as he hints at wider changes in global trade policy. Talks with China, Pakistan, and others remain part of his broader strategy to “use trade to settle scores and make peace,” signaling shifting global economic alliances before July's tariff deadline.
