Zelensky willing to compromise on Ukraine’s NATO membership

The Jerusalem Post

Ukraine’s President Zelensky says he’s prepared to discuss a commitment for Ukraine not to seek NATO membership from Russia

The leader says this will come in exchange for a cease-fire, the withdrawal of Russian troops and a guarantee of Ukraine’s security.

Meanwhile, U.S. President Joe Biden says Vladimir Putin is strongly considering deploying chemical weapons in his invasion of neighbouring Ukraine.

Biden says Moscow is leaning on false claims that Kyiv is storing its own biological and chemical weapons setting up new false flags as a pretext to using its own.

It comes as the White House delivers its strongest indication yet that Russia is exploring the use of cyber-attacks potentially targeting critical infrastructure.

The Biden administration is pledging to “use every tool to deter, disrupt, and respond to cyberattacks” but warns the Federal Government “can’t defend against this threat alone”.

With U.S. debt over $36 trillion, Trump’s push comes at a tense economic moment. Supporters say it’s about fiscal discipline; critics say it’s far-fetched. As 2026 looms, the question remains—can Trump deliver real reform, or is this more political theatre?

Tech, trade & tariffs reshape global economic landscape

Published

on

The global economy is undergoing rapid change — with breakthroughs in technology, shifts in trade policy, and renewed inflationary pressures all colliding.

In the U.S., the autonomous vehicle sector is accelerating after Waymo received key regulatory approval to expand its driverless services. The move could give Alphabet a competitive edge over rivals like GM’s Cruise, with the prospect of robotaxis generating real revenue on the horizon.

At the same time, fresh tariff threats are sparking alarm in the retail sector. Walmart has warned that new duties could trigger double-digit price hikes, putting pressure on consumers and potentially reshaping spending patterns, especially in electronics and apparel.

Meanwhile, the UK and EU have struck new trade agreements aimed at reducing red tape around food and emissions. The deals mark a step toward improved cooperation and could provide a modest economic boost for exporters.

With uncertainty still hanging over global markets, investors are once again turning to precious metals. Gold and silver are gaining attention as safe havens, with silver’s industrial use giving it added appeal in an uncertain climate.
