Germany is set to extend its trusteeship over Russian oil company Rosneft's local subsidiaries for another six months, marking the fifth time it has done so.

U.S. President Donald Trump recently called the Gaza Strip a “demolition site,” and said the Palestinians would be evacuated to Jordan and Egypt, where they would be “thrilled” to live.

European leaders demanded assurances that Europe will be part of any peace talks with Russia after U.S. President Donald Trump stepped up his push to broker a deal to end the fighting in Ukraine by speaking directly with Russian President Vladimir Putin for more than an hour and agreeing to begin negotiations.

But foreign…

According to the International Energy Agency (IEA), Moscow is already crafting new workarounds, keeping its oil flowing despite restrictions that were supposed to tighten the screws.

Sanctions, it…
