Witkoff meets Putin in Moscow

Witkoff has emerged as Washington’s key interlocutor with Putin as Trump pushes for a deal to end the war, and has already held three long meetings with the Kremlin leader. Video published by the Kremlin showed Witkoff and Putin shaking hands and exchanging pleasantries before sitting down on opposite sides of a white oval table.

China creates tariff carve-outs

China has exempted some US imports from its 125 per cent tariffs and is asking firms to identify critical goods they need levy-free, according to businesses notified, in the clearest sign yet of Beijing’s concerns about the trade war’s economic fallout.
