US President Donald Trump spoke with his Russian counterpart Vladimir Putin Saturday to discuss the conflict in Ukraine ahead of a NATO summit in Ankara, the Kremlin said. The call was to mark the 250th birthday of the United States.

North Korean leader Kim Jong Un oversaw weapons tests this week of the 5,000-ton destroyer Kang Kon, including cruise missile launches and “electronic warfare means,” state media reported Sunday. The naval vessel was notably the one that tipped over last year during its launch ceremony, but later repaired. The tests took place on Friday, the state-run Korean Central News Agency (KCNA) said, less than two weeks after another 5,000-ton destroyer, the Choe Hyon entered military service.

Israel’s Benjamin Netanyahu could visit the White House as early as next week, US President Donald Trump said on Saturday, adding that the prime minister “knows who the boss is” in their relationship. The possible meeting comes amid reports of tensions between the two leaders over efforts to end the war against Iran that the US and Israel started in late February. “We get along very good.

China and Russia have spent decades trying to open the Tumen River. North Korea continues to stand in their way. In May, Xi Jinping and Vladimir Putin pledged to advance Chinese navigation through the border river, giving Beijing its strongest backing yet. The declaration reflects China’s longstanding ambition to secure direct access to the Sea of Japan, lost in the unequal 1860 Treaty of Peking.

US President Donald Trump stressed that the United States spends more money on NATO than any other country. Posting on Truth Social on Thursday, Trump wrote, “The United States spends more money on NATO than any other country, by far, to protect them, without getting any benefit.” He detailed defense spending of several countries from 2014 to 2025.

Russia said Thursday it would be ramping up the “pressure” on Ukraine after launching its largest ever attack on Kyiv overnight, firing waves of drones and missiles that killed 13. “Russia will continue to increase pressure on the Kyiv regime in order to achieve our set goals,” Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov told reporters, when asked about the EU saying it would look at new sanctions on Moscow over the latest strikes.

The guns fell silent in Iran after a 60-day ceasefire was called on June 17 via a Memorandum of Understanding. But the pause should not be mistaken for peace. Given the repeated infractions, the ceasefire now looks less like a meaningful end to hostilities and more like a period of military regeneration under diplomatic cover. No broader resolution is likely, especially as Israel remains inclined to act unilaterally against Hezbollah in Lebanon.

Iran’s chief negotiator Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf called on Thursday for massive turnout at Ali Khamenei’s funeral to avenge the supreme leader’s death in US-Israeli strikes at the start of the war.

The United States said that it would not renew its North American trade pact with Canada and Mexico, opting instead to hold annual reviews on the deal. “The United States did not agree to renew the USMCA in its current form,” said US Trade Representative Jamieson Greer in a statement after a virtual meeting with his counterparts.

Russian missile and drone strikes rocked Kyiv early Thursday, killing at least nine people and wounding dozens, after President Volodymyr Zelensky warned that Moscow was preparing a “massive attack.” Russia has routinely launched waves of missiles and drones at Ukrainian cities, including Kyiv, during its more than four-year invasion, which has become Europe’s deadliest conflict since World War II.
