US President Donald Trump says “great progress” was made during a phone call with Russian President Vladimir Putin on Thursday, with the pair agreeing to face-to-face talks in Hungary. He said the call, the first with Putin since mid-August, was “very productive”, adding that teams from Washington and Moscow will meet next week. Trump did not confirm a date for his meeting with Putin in Budapest. The Kremlin said work on the summit would begin “immediately” after the “extremely frank and trustful” call. The talks came a day before Ukraine’s President Zelensky was to visit the White House, and with…
The US Chamber of Commerce has filed a lawsuit against the Trump administration’s new $100,000 (£74,000) fee on H-1B visas for skilled foreign workers. The fee “will make it cost-prohibitive” for US employers to use the programme, said Neil Bradley, Chief Policy Officer at the pro-business group. Trump signed an executive order last month instituting the fee, arguing the visa programme has been abused. Critics have said it undercuts the American workforce. It is used heavily by the US tech sector, both by major companies and small startups. The White House responded to the suit by calling the fee lawful…
John Bolton, who served as Donald Trump’s national security adviser before becoming a vocal critic of the president, has been criminally indicted on federal charges, and is facing decades in prison. The Department of Justice presented a case to a grand jury in Maryland on Thursday, and they agreed there was enough evidence to indict Bolton. It comes after FBI agents searched Bolton’s home and office in August as part of an investigation into the handling of classified information. The indictment makes Bolton, 76, the third of the US president’s political opponents to face charges in recent week, after former…
Former Congolese President Joseph Kabila has announced a movement to “save” his country, after a meeting with other opposition leaders in Kenya’s capital Nairobi. The meeting, held on Tuesday and Wednesday, resolved to rally Congolese to oppose the “dictatorship” of President Félix Tshisekedi, according to a document seen by the BBC. Congolese government spokesman Patrick Muyaya dismissed it as a “non-event”, and a meeting of “fugitives and convicts”. Kenya’s foreign ministry has not responded to the BBC’s request for comment. Kabila was recently sentenced to death back home for war crimes and treason. He rejected the charges as “arbitrary” but…

The Justice Department is expected to present a possible criminal case and seek a grand jury indictment against former national security adviser John Bolton as soon as Thursday afternoon at a federal courthouse in Greenbelt, Maryland, according to two sources familiar with the matter. In August, the FBI searched Bolton’s home and office as part of an investigation into his handling of classified documents, sources told CBS News at the time. According to unsealed court papers, agents found records marked classified during the searches. The FBI said it found numerous confidential documents in Bolton’s home and office, and the bureau…
Republican Sen. Mitch McConnell, 83, fell to the ground in a Capitol hallway Thursday afternoon as he made his way to Senate votes. McConnell, who announced in February that he would not seek reelection, fell to the floor while two volunteers from the environmental advocacy group Sunrise Movement approached the senator and asked him a question about Immigration and Customs Enforcement actions. He did not respond to the question. The senator seemed unsteady, but got up and kept walking with the help of his detail. He then waved to the two individuals who were questioning him. The Senate was taking…
The Canadian government has threatened legal action against global car giant Stellantis over its plans to move production of the Jeep Compass to the US. Earlier this week, Stellantis revealed a $13bn (£9.68bn) investment in America and plans to shift manufacturing of the Compass model from Ontario to its Illinois plant. Canada’s Industry Minister Mélanie Joly said the firm had made a “legally binding” commitment to stay in the city of Brampton in exchange for financial support, and would “exercise all options, including legal” if it did not uphold the agreement. Stellantis said it was investing in Canada and had…
Donald Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin have held their first talks over the phone since August, the US president has confirmed. Trump said he was having a “lengthy” phone call with his Russian counterpart, which takes place a day before he is due to meet Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky at the White House. Trump has taken a much tougher line towards Putin over the Ukraine war since a face-to-face summit in Alaska in August failed to produce a decisive breakthrough in attempts to broker a peace deal. This week’s talks with Putin and Zelensky come as Trump weighs up…
India’s foreign ministry has said it is “not aware” of a phone call in which US President Donald Trump claimed Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi agreed to stop purchasing Russian oil.

But asked about the call on Thursday, an Indian government spokesman cast doubt on Trump’s account, saying he was “not aware of any conversation between the two leaders”…
