U.S. President Donald Trump and Chinese President Xi Jinping are expected to speak soon amid escalating tensions over critical mineral trade. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent confirmed that China may have violated a key agreement, accusing Beijing of withholding essential industrial materials. With global supply chains in jeopardy, aides expect the upcoming call to iron out issues. While no date is confirmed, White House officials are optimistic a conversation is imminent and may clarify the Geneva deal on tariff rollbacks signed last month.

Shadow Justice Secretary Robert Jenrick says Labour’s plan to boost defence spending isn’t believable unless action is taken now. He welcomed the government’s pledge to spend 2.5% of GDP on defence, but said it must reach 3% by the end of this Parliament, not in 2034. Jenrick criticised Chancellor Rachel Reeves, saying she has already broken key promises and questioned how the extra funding would be found. Report by Covellm.

Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov has accused Quad nations — the US, Japan, and Australia — of dragging India into a de facto military alliance, despite Delhi’s stated focus on economic ties. Speaking at a Eurasian security forum, Lavrov warned of coordinated naval drills aimed at militarizing Quad beyond its original scope. He also pushed to revive the dormant Russia-India-China (RIC) trilateral platform, asserting that Western powers are deliberately stoking Indo-China tensions by reframing the region as "Indo-Pacific" with anti-China goals. His remarks signal Moscow’s shifting strategic focus in Asia.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has confirmed Ukraine will attend peace talks with Russia in Istanbul on June 2. Kyiv delayed confirmation to review Moscow’s ceasefire proposal but has now outlined its own demands: a full ceasefire, release of all prisoners, and return of abducted children. Ukraine’s defense minister Rustem Umerov will lead the delegation. While Kyiv seeks transparency, Russia’s memo reportedly includes sweeping demands like NATO freeze and sanctions removal. Despite no documents shared by Moscow, Washington has urged Kyiv to proceed with the talks for the sake of peace.

Hours after Ukrainian drones struck deep into Russian territory, destroying over 40 aircraft, Russia responded. Irkutsk region governor Igor Kobzev confirmed that the source of the Ukrainian drone launch had been “blocked and destroyed.” He added that the situation in Sridni and surrounding areas was “under complete control.” The drone strike—part of Ukraine’s “Pavutyna” operation—hit strategic airbases in Siberia, including Belaya and Olenya. It marks the first such strike in Irkutsk. The Russian reaction signals a turning point in how Moscow intends to confront Ukraine’s expanding drone warfare.
