French President Emmanuel Macron has landed in Kyiv for high stakes talks following his summit with Russian President Putin

Macron arrived in Kyiv prepared to compromise with Ukraine officials to hopefully cool off tensions between it and neighbouring Russia.

The French President’s arrival into Ukraine come after he held a meeting over dinner with Russian President Vladimir Putin, hopeful that he could be the mediator to cool escalating tensions.

According to a statement by the Kremlin, Macron and Putin’s conversation got underway by discussing trade between France and Russia which fell during the pandemic by 15 percent.

Putin acknowledged Macon’s concerns regarding the rise in tensions on the Ukraine border, following Moscow’s heavy troop presence.

“I understand that we share concerns about security developments in Europe, and I want to thank you for the fact that France invariably and strongly participates in the development of fundamental decisions in this area.”

Putin said.

But the Russian President remained firm on his stance regarding Ukraine’s alliance with NATO, and according to journalist Denis Kazakiewicz, the meeting failed at its main objectives with the Kremlin more “aggressive” following the dinner.

Macron had been hopeful that he could persuade Putin to head towards a de-escalation of tensions.

“I think today’s conversation can pave the way to de-escalation, which is where we should be heading. We are aware of the military-political situation and the Ukraine issue. You noted its importance, including the Normandy format, security issues in Belarus and the entire region, as well as important collective security issues, which we will cover later.”

MACRON SAID.

“I am glad we have this opportunity to discuss these issues in depth, so that we can collectively begin to develop a practical response for Russia and the whole of Europe. A useful and practical response would be one that helps avoid war and build stability, transparency and trust for all.”

MACRON SAID.

Macron’s arrival into Ukraine will now involve high-stakes talks with President Volodymyr Zelensky, who has thanked Western Nations for their support.

S&P 500 rebounds as Nvidia boosts tech shares amid easing U.S.-China trade tensions and softer inflation data.

In Short:
The S&P 500 rose 1% on Tuesday, buoyed by improving U.S.-China trade relations and strong performances from companies like Nvidia. Despite some concerns about high valuations, analysts showed cautious optimism for continued market growth due to positive economic data and government investments.

The S&P 500 rose on Tuesday, returning to positive territory for the year as easing U.S.-China trade tensions boosted investor confidence.

The index gained 1%, with the Nasdaq Composite increasing 1.8%. The Dow Jones Industrial Average fell by 166 points, or 0.3%, due to an 18% drop in UnitedHealth shares.

Nvidia’s stock led the market, advancing 6% after announcing the shipment of 18,000 artificial intelligence chips to Saudi Arabia. This news positively impacted peer companies such as Broadcom and AMD, which increased by around 4%.

Following this rally, the S&P 500 is now up 0.2% for 2025, after previously being down over 17% due to trade uncertainties. The market responded positively to news of a 90-day tariff pause between the U.S. and China, which contributed to a significant surge in stock prices.

Market analysts noted that improved sentiment stems from several factors, including the chip deal, easing inflation pressures, and anticipated tax cuts. The White House also announced a $600 billion investment in the U.S. economy.

In addition to the trade news, softer-than-expected inflation data in April, which reported a 2.3% increase in the consumer price index, further energised the market. Economists had predicted a 2.4% rate.

Investment experts express cautious optimism, acknowledging ongoing concerns surrounding high valuations and market concentration, but suggest that current data may lead to continued market growth in the short term.

Trump administration considers Qatari royal jet as potential temporary Air Force One, raising diplomatic and ethical concerns.


The Trump administration is reportedly in talks with Qatar to use a royal aircraft as a potential temporary Air Force One.

The jet — owned by the Qatari royal family — would be retrofitted for presidential use and could be offered as a gift during Trump’s term, with the possibility of it being used again as part of his future presidential library.

While no final decision has been made, the deal raises logistical, diplomatic, and ethical questions around foreign gifts, presidential travel, and how Trump may symbolically separate himself from traditional norms.
