**US and Ukraine Agree on Temporary Ceasefire**
The US and Ukraine have agreed on a temporary ceasefire in the war with Russia. This is a significant change, especially considering just last week the US suspended military aid to Ukraine.
**Trump’s Negotiating Style**
This deal was made possible by US diplomats and Ukrainian officials. It shows that despite his tough talk, President Trump is open to negotiations. His style often involves making public threats and concessions, but this approach comes with risks. The stock market has taken a hit in recent weeks due to Trump’s trade disputes.
**Trade Dispute Continues**
Trump’s war of words with Canada continues. He threatened to double tariffs on Canadian steel and aluminum, but then backed down after the premier of Ontario agreed not to impose an energy surcharge. However, this dispute has already caused trillions of dollars in losses for US stock market investors. More tariffs could be imposed next month.
**Ukraine and Russia**
The ceasefire agreement between Ukraine and Russia is still uncertain. There’s no sign of a deal on mineral rights that would give the US a share of future Ukrainian mining revenues. This could become a problem if not resolved.
