UKRAINE: Senator Graham Downplays Ukraine Peace Plan
Nov-20 17:18
Senator Lindsey Graham (R-SC), the coauthor of the stalled Russia sanctions package, has issued a statement on X denying knowledge of the 28-point peace plan that the US presented to Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy today.
- Graham wrote, "As to the existence of a 28 point plan to end the Russia-Ukraine war, I have no knowledge of the plan and have only read media reports about the proposal. It is my firm belief that this war needs to come to an end through negotiations with an honorable and just outcome that would prevent a third invasion and deter others from acting aggressively throughout the globe. Such an outcome can only be achieved with negotiations involving both parties - particularly Ukraine, the victim of Russia’s aggression - along with our European allies."
- The comment follows a statement from Graham on November 18 saying his sanctions bill, "will be a valuable tool for President Trump in pushing Putin to the peace table – and that is why the Russia sanctions bill has such overwhelming bipartisan support."
- A short time ago, the office of President Zelenskyy issued a carefully worded but non-committal statement suggesting that Zelenskyy will discuss the peace plan with Trump in the coming days. The statement noted, "We are ready now, as before, to work constructively with the American side, as well as with our partners in Europe and around the world so that the outcome is peace."

US: Trump On Aiming For $20 Trillion Of Investment
Oct-21 17:11
"*TRUMP: GOING TO HAVE $20T IN INVESTMENTS IN US UNTIL YEAR END" - bbg
Context behind the headline:
- “I think we’re going to have $20tn of investment. We’re over $17tn right now. As an example, President Biden had less than a trillion for four years. We’re going to have $20tn in less than twelve months. It’s the largest amount in our country by far, by many times.”
- The White House tracker has $8.8tn of investment pledges but it's unclear how up to date that is. Having looked in the past, many of these pledges were over 4+ years.
