Trump's special envoys Witkoff and Kushner may visit Moscow and Kyiv on September 5–6. According to Reuters, the visit to the Ukrainian capital is in doubt: Moscow, a source says, is trying to obstruct its holding.

Trump confirmed his desire to meet with Kim Jong Un in autumn, and North Korea gave a positive response to the talks. Against this backdrop, anxiety is growing in Seoul over statements about the reduction of joint US–South Korea military exercises.

The visit by Trump's special envoys Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner to Ukraine has been postponed again, but not cancelled. The reason was the intensified Russian missile and drone strikes on Kyiv last week.

U.S. Special Envoy John Cole, through jokes and vodka, secured the release of 500 political prisoners in Belarus, but critics argue that the partial lifting of sanctions is too high a price for this "diplomacy."

🇺🇸 Trump stated that Kim Jong Un responded to his call for dialogue and 'always treated him with respect.' This occurred after the reduction of U.S. and South Korean military exercises. 🤝 Pyongyang previously threatened 'self-defense' due to the exercises. 📉 No details provided — but this is the first signal of a possible resumption of contacts since 2021. #Trump #KimJongUn #NorthKorea #Diplomacy #NuclearProgram

🇺🇸 The US Ambassador to the EU called the CBAM carbon tax hidden protectionism. In an article for the Financial Times, the diplomat compared the European mechanism to US steel tariffs, noting Brussels' double standards. 🇺🇦 As of January 1, 2026, CBAM will be fully applied to Ukraine, which experts consider a blow to the country's industry, deprived of the ability to modernize due to the war. The European Commission refused exemptions despite force majeure. #CBAM #Ukraine #Trade #Economy
