Araghchi: Washington requests talks, Tehran refuses amid Israeli aggression
Tehran – SABA: Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi stated on Friday that the United States has requested talks with Iran, but Tehran has rejected the overture, declaring such dialogue impossible while Israeli attacks and aggression continue. In an interview with Iranian state television, Araghchi said: "Under the current circumstances, with the Zionist regime's ongoing attacks against Iran, we have no interest in talks with anyone... The Americans want this—they have sent messages multiple times, serious messages—but we have made it clear to them that unless the aggression stops, there is no room for dialogue or diplomacy," according to Sputnik News Agency. Araghchi emphasized that Iran views the U.S. as a complicit partner in Israel's aggression against the Islamic Republic. "Some countries have mediated and presented proposals, but we have not engaged with the U.S. and will not engage," he added, dismissing reports of direct communication as false.

Putin: NATO's plans to increase military budgets are irrational, pointless
Moscow - Saba: Russian President Vladimir Putin warned on Thursday that increasing defense spending by NATO countries will not benefit anyone and will create additional risks. Putin said during a meeting with heads of international news agencies on the sidelines of the St. Petersburg International Economic Forum, according to Sputnik News Agency: "If NATO countries want to increase their defense budgets further, that's their business, but it will not benefit anyone and will inevitably create new risks." Putin described NATO's plans to increase military spending as "irrational and pointless." Earlier, French media reported, citing unnamed diplomats, that "the main focus at the NATO summit in The Hague will not be on Ukraine, but on reaching an agreement that satisfies US President Donald Trump regarding increased defense spending among NATO member states." The NATO Summit is scheduled to be held in The Hague on June 24-25. Saint Petersburg, Russia, will host the 28th St. Petersburg International Economic Forum from June 18-21, under the theme "Shared Values - The Foundation of Growth in a Multipolar World."

Trump announces initial economic agreement with China
Washington – Saba: US President Donald Trump announced on Wednesday that he had reached a preliminary agreement with China, under which rare earths will be imported from Beijing. Trump said that the agreement with China includes the placement of Chinese students in American universities, confirming that his country will receive a total tariff of 55%, while China will receive 10%, according to Sputnik News Agency. China and the United States recently agreed to completely eliminate tariffs on each other's goods for an initial period of 90 days, a surprising achievement that has boosted global markets. Under the agreement, the United States will temporarily reduce its tariffs on Chinese goods from 145% to 30%, while China will reduce its tariffs on US imports from 125% to 10%, according to the joint statement. The Chinese and American sides agreed to establish a mechanism to continue economic and trade talks. The Chinese side will be represented by Vice Premier He Lifeng, while the American side will be represented by Treasury Secretary Scott Besant and Trade Representative Jameson Greer. The meetings will alternate between China and the United States, or in a third country agreed upon by both sides, with the possibility of holding technical consultations at the working-level on related issues. The dispute over trade tariffs imposed by US President Donald Trump on China, which reached 145%, and China's retaliation by raising its tariffs on American products by 125%, has sparked warnings of a trade war between the two countries that would have negative repercussions on the global economy.
