United States Vice President JD Vance ​said on Sunday that his negotiating team was leaving Pakistan after not reaching a deal with Iran following 21 hours of negotiations, jeopardising a fragile two-week ceasefire. “The bad ‌news is that we have not reached an agreement, and I think that’s bad news for Iran much more than it’s bad news for the United States of America,” Vance told reporters after the talks ended. “So we go back to the United States, having not agreed.

War breaking news. Trump links understanding to enlargement Agreements Abraham, ‘negotiations go well’

Iran-USA, Haaretz: agreement marks ‘American capitulation’ The agreement being finalised between the US and Iran would, if finalised, mark an ‘American capitulation’ and reflect the gradual weakening of Israeli influence on President Donald Trump’s decisions. This is according to an analysis published by the Israeli daily Haaretz, which reconstructs diplomatic and military developments between Washington, Tehran, and Israel. According to the analysis, the understanding has not yet been signed and details remain partial, but the most likely scenario would involve a containment of Iran’s nuclear programme without substantially addressing other issues considered crucial by Israel and the US, including the

Electric cars are breaking sales records around the world, while the US is losing pace

The world market of electric vehicles shows rapid development, but this process is far from uniform. Today, analysts observe a so-called K-shaped trajectory: while some countries are rapidly switching to electric cars, the electric car market in the United States shows weak consumer interest and holds a sales share of only 10%. According to the analytical data of the International Energy Agency (IEA), the global dynamics of electrification remains a powerful trend. However, growth rates divided the world map into leaders and laggards. Weak consumer activity on the North American continent contrasts markedly with the explosive popularity of ecological transport

Obama breaks silence on Trump’s ‘outrageous’ call to prosecute him | Barack Obama

Barack Obama has broken his silence on calls from Donald Trump for him to be prosecuted by unequivocally rejecting his successor’s accusations that he tried to engineer a “coup” following Trump’s 2016 election victory by “manufacturing” evidence of Russian interference. Obama’s office took the unusual step of issuing an emphatic refutation after Trump told reporters that his predecessor had “[tried] to lead a coup” against him and was guilty of “treason” over intelligence assessments suggesting that Russia had intervened to help Trump defeat Hillary Clinton in the campaign. “Out of respect for the office of the presidency, our office does

The Democratic superlawyer Trump can’t silence: ‘We are in the break-glass moment of American history’ | Democrats

Marc Elias, a prominent Democratic election attorney, has not shied away from standing up to the Trump administration, and has been targeted for retribution this year multiple times as a result. He’s one of scores of lawyers the Trump administration has named in executive actions, joining a list that includes big law firms and attorneys who worked for people Donald Trump considers his opponents. There’s no shortage of reasons why the president would hate Elias and want to shut him down: Elias has for decades represented high-profile Democrats, including the presidential campaigns of Hillary Clinton and Kamala Harris, and prominent

U.S., Iran and Israel Agree to Cease-Fire

President Trump said on Saturday that the United States was close to reaching an agreement toward ending the war with Iran, though there was no immediate public confirmation from Iran or Israel.
