NBC News’ Garrett Haake looks at President Trump’s comments on trade agreements that may have been reached during the U.S.-China summit as well as how the United States’ stance on Taiwan could impact further trade relations between the two countries.

Russian President Vladimir Putin delivered a major speech at the 10th Russian Engineering Union Congress, declaring that Russia’s industrial production in 2025 had surpassed pre-Ukraine war levels despite sweeping Western sanctions. Putin said Russia must strengthen “technological sovereignty,” accelerate weapons production, and reduce dependence on foreign suppliers while expanding ties with non-Western partners. The Kremlin leader also called for closer integration between civilian industries and the defense sector, signaling a deeper wartime economic mobilisation as the Ukraine conflict continues. Putin’s remarks come amid rising tensions with NATO, increased military production, and Moscow’s push to reshape Russia into a self-reliant industrial and military power.
