Rubio’s Funny Banter About Jaishankar at QUAD Meet Goes Viral | Jaishankar Scolds US Over Terrorism
At the QUAD Foreign Ministers’ Meeting in Washington D.C., U.S. Secretary Marco Rubio jokingly called Indian External Affairs Minister S. Jaishankar a “very busy guy,” noting his constant travel. Jaishankar, alongside diplomats from Japan, Australia, and the U.S., took a firm stance on global terrorism—referencing the recent Pahalgam attack. He warned against equating victims and perpetrators, subtly addressing U.S. policy on Pakistan. The QUAD emphasized Indo-Pacific security, while Jaishankar also met with U.S. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth to deepen bilateral defense ties, calling the partnership one of the “most consequential” today.

In a historic U.S.-brokered deal, D.R. Congo and Rwanda have signed a peace agreement in Washington, witnessed by U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio. Trump hailed it as a “glorious triumph,” though critics argue it may serve U.S. interests in Congo’s mineral-rich east. The deal includes a trade framework for critical minerals, but M23 rebels reject its legitimacy. With thousands killed and millions displaced, experts warn that without inclusive enforcement and reforms, peace may remain elusive in the volatile Great Lakes region.

In a landmark diplomatic moment, DR Congo and Rwanda signed a historic U.S.-brokered peace deal in Washington aimed at ending decades of deadly conflict. President Donald Trump called it a “glorious triumph” while hosting the signing ceremony in the Oval Office, flanked by VP JD Vance and Secretary of State Marco Rubio.
The agreement includes “disengagement, disarmament and conditional integration” of armed groups and signals potential U.S. access to DR Congo’s rare earth minerals. Yet deep questions remain—especially regarding the M23 rebels, Rwandan troop presence, and humanitarian access. With both countries denying support for rival militias, the full terms remain classified, fueling skepticism.
Trump, however, hailed it as a generational victory. Previous similar treaties have failed. But this deal, supported by earlier Qatari mediation, might offer a sliver of hope in a region long marred by instability and mineral-fueled warfare.

Ukraine has accused Russia of stalling peace negotiations by withholding a promised memorandum ahead of proposed Istanbul talks. Foreign Minister Andrii Sybiha warned that Ukraine won't attend without seeing the terms first, fearing a diplomatic ambush. The Kremlin insists its terms will be presented only at the table, while Kyiv seeks a cease-fire as the first step. With rising battlefield tensions and behind-the-scenes U.S. diplomacy, the looming talks remain uncertain. Trump’s envoy urged Ukraine to “show up,” even without clarity—raising serious doubts about Russia’s intentions and the talks’ credibility.

A Russian delegation led by Vladimir Medinsky is en route to Istanbul for proposed peace talks with Ukraine on June 2. While Moscow expresses hope, Ukraine remains skeptical, demanding immediate delivery of Russia’s ceasefire draft and calling Russia’s silence a stalling tactic. Kyiv insists it already sent its own draft and had earlier demanded a 30-day truce—rejected by Russia. With tensions high, accusations mounting, and delegations unchanged, the possibility of a real breakthrough appears increasingly remote.

Russia’s proposed second round of Ukraine peace talks in Istanbul on June 2 appears doomed before it begins. Ukraine has raised complaints, demanding Moscow deliver its ceasefire draft immediately, while Russia decries Kyiv’s conditions as "unconstructive." Ukraine insists on a full ceasefire as a starting point, accusing Russia of stalling. The first talks failed after Putin skipped the meeting, and now with no changes in Russia’s delegation, hopes for diplomatic progress remain bleak amid rising tension and mistrust.

Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov has proposed June 2 as the next date for direct talks with Ukraine in Istanbul, following their first meeting since 2022 on May 16. Russia claims it’s ready with a detailed peace memorandum and awaits Kiev’s confirmation. Lavrov thanked Türkiye, the US, and Saudi Arabia for facilitating dialogue. This development follows the largest Russia-Ukraine prisoner swap yet—1,000 individuals exchanged. Talks aim at lasting peace, with Moscow pushing for Ukraine’s neutrality and non-NATO status amid Western media claims of delays.
