(MNI) London – All timings are subject to change.

Monday 14 July:

  • United States-Russia: President Donald Trump has teased a ‘major announcement’ regarding Russia on the occasion of a meeting at the White House with NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte. The two will hold talks behind closed doors at 10:00ET (15:00BST, 16:00CET). Trump’s increasing frustration with Russia’s intransigence in moving towards peace talks in Ukraine has been evident of late, with speculation that the president could announce a major escalation in sanctions or a significant increase in the provision of weaponry to Kyiv. German Defence Minister Boris Pistorius meets with US Secretary of Defence Pete Hegseth in an effort to push for the US to increase its supply of Patriot missile systems to Ukraine via Germany and other NATO partners.
