Industry minister Sarah Jones says the government would prefer to find a private sector partner to manage the steelworks in Scunthorpe â but refuses to rule out the involvement of another Chinese firm. Speaking on the day a shipment of raw supplies is due to arrive at the plant, Jones also defended the governmentâs support package, saying the ÂŁ2.5 billion fund will help ensure the siteâs future and avoid even higher costs from closure and job losses.

US President Donald Trump has claimed Ukraine could be âcrushed very shortlyâ unless it agrees to peace talks with Russia. In an interview with The Atlantic, Trump said heâs trying to save Ukraine by pushing for negotiations, suggesting Moscow is open to a deal. He criticized Kievâs stance, especially on Crimea, and hinted Zelensky was tougher to negotiate with than Putin. Meanwhile, Vice President Vance echoed similar concerns, and Secretary of State Rubio warned of the US abandoning talks if delays persist. Trump is also seeking a minerals agreement with Ukraine.

Vice President JD Vance stated that Ukraine is not on track to defeat Russia on the battlefield, while Secretary of State Marco Rubio warned that the U.S. may withdraw from the peace process. With the next week critical for U.S. involvement, peace talks remain alive but uncertain. Vance emphasized the urgency of ending the war, and Ukraine continues to push for a ceasefire. Meanwhile, Moscow demands international recognition of its territorial control. Can the U.S. broker a lasting peace deal amid growing tensions?

U.S. Vice President J.D. Vance has issued a dramatic ultimatum to Ukraine and Russia: accept Americaâs explicit peace proposal or risk losing U.S. support entirely. Speaking in India, Vance called for both sides to make concessions, including giving up some territorial claims. Reports suggest the U.S. may accept Russian control over Crimea and parts of eastern Ukraine in a final settlement. As tensions rise and diplomatic efforts stall, Vance's comments signal a major shift in U.S. strategyâtoward either a frozen conflict or full withdrawal.
