Published Mon, 03 Mar 2025 21:25:55 GMT

Denmark is willing to host peace talks between Ukraine and Russia next July, Danish Foreign Minister Lars Løkke Rasmussen said Monday according to media reports.“If Ukraine finds that the time has come to have such a meeting, that would be fantastic,” Rasmussen said upon arriving at the Foreign Affairs Council in Brussels, Reuters reported.“Then Denmark would obviously like to host the meeting” which would need engagement from “countries like India, Brazil and China,” the foreign minister said, adding that it was “hard for [him] to see” Russia attending.Although Moscow and Kyiv have said they were open to peace talks, they hold diverging views on what the starting point of negotiations should be.Ukraine has set the restoration of its territorial integrity, as well as “building security architecture in the Euro-Atlantic space, including guarantees for Ukraine” as preconditions for peace talks.Russia has said Ukraine needed t...

US pumps the brakes on EU clean car deal

Published Mon, 03 Mar 2025 21:25:55 GMT

Washington and Brussels are at odds over a deal to make European automakers eligible for U.S. electric vehicle tax credits.The European Union has been pressing for a more flexible agreement on the critical minerals used in electric car batteries that won’t require the time-consuming approval of its 27 member countries.But that doesn’t work for the Biden administration, which is under immense pressure from lawmakers to broker a binding pact. The U.S. wants Europe to make commitments that boost the supply of those minerals in exchange for the tax perks, which were part of the historic climate law Democrats passed last year.The impasse, described to POLITICO by a dozen officials on both sides of the Atlantic, is likely to drag out negotiations into the summer, leaving European automakers at a disadvantage in the U.S. car market in the meantime. And it threatens to exacerbate the rift over U.S. efforts to promote domestic EV manufacturing at a time when the longtime allies aim to presen...

Rishi Sunak mulls ethics probe over top minister’s handling of speeding fine

Published Mon, 03 Mar 2025 21:25:55 GMT

LONDON — Rishi Sunak is considering whether to launch an ethics probe amid pressure on Home Secretary Suella Braverman over her handling of a speeding offense.According to reports in the Sunday Times and Mail on Sunday this weekend, Braverman — while attorney general in 2022 — asked civil servants to try and arrange a one-on-one driving awareness course after she was caught speeding. In the U.K., people who have broken the speed limit can opt to attend a course rather than pay a fine — but these are usually run as group sessions. A private course could therefore have reduced the likelihood of other motorists recognizing the senior minister in a public session.The officials reportedly refused to pursue the idea on advice from the Cabinet Office, with Braverman instead accepting a fine and points on her license. In her first public comments on the row Monday, Braverman said she was “confident that nothing untoward happened” — but stressed that she regretted breaking the sp...

MANCHESTER, England (AP) — Manchester City’s ruthless run to the Premier League title can be traced back to the morning of Feb. 6, when the club was hit with more than 100 charges of financial wrongdoing.City has not lost a game in any competition since then and is on track to win three trophies, having also advanced to the finals of the Champions League and the FA Cup.But even if the accusations made by the Premier League appear to have marked a turning point in potentially the most successful season in the club’s history, they continue to cast a cloud over City’s years of dominance in English soccer.City has been England’s leading club for more than a decade thanks to the lavish backing of Abu Dhabi’s ruling family.
