    Trump and Xi Buy Time, But Solve Almost Nothing | OilPrice.com (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    There is much to be said on many issues between the U.S. and China, and it was -- in the many meetings that occurred between American and Chinese officials that took place as the two countries’ leaders said very little during Xi Jinping’s three-day visit to counterpart Donald Trump last week. However, having tapped several U.S. and European Union (EU) sources that were very close to the proceedings, OilPrice.com has put together the key points really thrashed out between the two sets of negotiat

    What’s Putin’s Secret Post-Election Strategy To Test NATO? | OilPrice.com (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    The 2026 Russian legislative election to select all 450 seats of the State Duma (the lower house of parliament) ended on 20 September with President Vladimir Putin’s United Russia party securing 57.83% of the vote.

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    Sharing its eastern border with Iran, its northern border with Turkey, its western border with Syria and Jordan, and its southern border with Saudi Arabia, Iraq is arguably the single most geopolitically important country to the U.S., China, and Russia in the entire Middle East.
