President Trump said Friday that he's moving to set up direct talks with Russian President Vladimir Putin as soon as he can, after Putin opted to skip peace talks between Russia and Ukraine in Turkey. "I think it's time for us to just do it," Mr. Trump told reporters as he wrapped a four-day visit to the Middle East. Later, he told reporters on Air Force One, setting off on the journey back to Washington, that he might call Putin soon. "He and I will meet, and I think we'll solve it or maybe not," Mr. Trump said. "At least we'll know. And if we don't solve it, it'll be very interesting."

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.

Donald Trump sparks a fresh controversy by opposing Apple’s iPhone manufacturing expansion in India. Speaking from Qatar, Trump revealed he told Apple CEO Tim Cook to halt plans and focus on U.S. job creation. He accused India of imposing “very high tariffs” and claimed India is now willing to drop them for a deal. This bold move could disrupt Apple’s $22 billion production pipeline in India and impact major partners like Foxconn, Tata, and Pegatron. A major blow to India’s manufacturing ambitions?

In a stunning turnaround, U.S. President Donald Trump has hinted that Washington and Tehran are “getting close” to signing a new nuclear deal—on the singular condition that Iran must never develop a nuclear weapon. This unexpected statement comes just days after Trump labeled Iran the “most destructive force” in the Middle East, sparking backlash from Tehran. Despite months of hostility, four rounds of talks have taken place since March, and Trump’s latest remarks offer a renewed glimmer of hope for diplomacy in the region.

Behind the scenes of the India-Pakistan ceasefire lies calculated pressure from the United States. Relying heavily on U.S.-controlled IMF loans and military aid, Pakistan was reportedly nudged by Washington to de-escalate. The U.S. is believed to have used its sway over Pakistan’s military, intelligence ties, and influence in international forums—possibly with help from Saudi Arabia—to defuse tensions. The strategic move helped avoid a full-scale conflict, as India also agreed to the ceasefire to ensure economic stability and regional peace.
