Turkey limits exports to Israel, due to the war in Gaza
Turkey will restrict exports of some Israeli products, including materials such as steel and jet fuel. This will last until a ceasefire is reached in Gaza, the Ministry of Trade said.
Turkey strongly condemned Israel, several times, for its offensive in Gaza against Hamas and the killing of many civilians, while it has also been one of the countries that has often called for an immediate ceasefire. As for the restrictions, they will come into effect immediately.

William Burns, the director of the US Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) was in Cairo over the weekend "for a serious round" of talks, aimed at the release of hostages being held by Hamas in Gaza and kidnapped since October 7. passed. Already, Hamas is considering a new proposal for the release of hostages and the establishment of a ceasefire, the US says.

USA and China, in 'war' for electric cars
China has ramped up production of electric cars and new planet-centric technologies, increasing trade competition with the US. US Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen, during her 5-day visit to China, highlighted the competition and of course, Trump used the issue for his campaign.
China has significantly increased production of inexpensive electric vehicles, solar cells and other batteries at the same time that President Biden's administration has pushed through legislation that supports many of the same industries in the United States. Concerns are growing not only in the United States but also in Europe and Mexico that China will try to shore up its struggling economy with a wave of exports that could hurt factories in other countries.
What is Donald Trump's plan to achieve peace between Ukraine and Russia?
According to Sky News, Donald Trump plans to pressure Ukraine to give up its territory to end the war with Russia. According to foreign media, this will happen if he is re-elected US president.
While the Washington Post states that Trump's proposal coincides with this suggestion: Ukraine should hand over Crimea and the Donbass region to Russia, which is on the border of the states. Apparently, the policy in question will reward the invading Russia and condone the violation of internationally recognized borders by force, even by the US.
In fact, during his campaign and before, Trump has said that he could reach a peace agreement between Russia and Ukraine if he is again declared president of the United States.
