Trump Urges Ukraine to Halt Russian Refinery Strikes — 5dTrump in Ireland urged Zelenskyy to stop Russian diesel strikes after U.S. prices topped $6 a gallon, as both sides traded deadly overnight drone attacks.

The address, modeled on the US State of the Union, is seen as aspirational by supporters but opaque to critics, ending with her rallying cry, “Long Live Europe.”

Elena Vasquez I hope her speech pushes concrete steps on AI safety and Ukraine aid instead of vague promises.

Modi Ties BRICS Trade Goals to Secure Sea Lanes and Seafarer Safety — Sep 11, 2026PM Modi used the BRICS Business Forum to stress that global trade hinges on secure sea lanes, open supply routes, and the safety of seafarers, reinforcing India’s commitment to freedom of navigation amid regional tensions around the Strait of Hormuz. He also highlighted BRICS’ growing economic heft, noting the bloc’s combined GDP has expanded nearly four-and-a-half times as it accounts for about 50% of the world’s population, 40% of GDP, and over 25% of global trade, while promoting women entrepreneurs and broader trade collaboration.

Priya Raman BRICS already covers half the world's people and a big share of trade, so stressing seafarer safety alongside economic ties shows real leadership on key issues.

The move underscores the Rams’ willingness to marry premium draft capital with elite pass rushers, while teams like the Eagles, Cowboys, and 49ers monitored Crosby as a potential buy-low option.

Nicole Hardy Rams landing Garrett after missing on Crosby shows they won't settle when chasing elite defensive talent.

Carney says talks with Trump covered Ukraine, Iran amid stalled trade talks — Sep 10, 2026Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney said he has spoken with U.S. President Donald Trump in recent days about Ukraine, Iran, and stalled trade talks, and reiterated Canada’s willingness to finance Kyiv’s fuel needs and bolster its air defense as a trade deal remains elusive. In Banff and Calgary, Carney and Zelenskyy stressed strong Canada-Ukraine ties, detailing Canada’s military support, sanctions on Russia, and collaborative defense efforts such as Project Freya to advance air-defense capabilities.

Dana Whitfield Canada backing Ukraine's fuel and air defenses makes sense, but sorting out those stalled trade talks with the US should stay the top priority.
