Putin, for his part, has reportedly indicated he would agree to a full cease-fire if Ukraine withdraws troops from all of its Eastern Donetsk region. Discussions around a potential meeting have intensified, with the Kremlin confirming a venue has been agreed upon, though undisclosed, and the UAE, Hungary, Switzerland, and Rome cited as potential locations.<\/p>\n<p>In a separate significant diplomatic move, President Trump signed a peace deal aimed at resolving the long-standing conflict between Armenia and Azerbaijan. Azerbaijani President Aliyev publicly thanked Trump for removing restrictions on Azerbaijan, highlighting the direct impact of the deal. This agreement reportedly includes a pact granting the U.S. exclusive rights to develop a transit route through Armenian territory, to be named the &quot;Trump Route for International Peace and Prosperity.&quot; Additionally, Trump is expected to appoint David Rosner as Chairman of the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC), according to Axios.<\/p>\n<p>On the economic front, Canada announced plans to further restrict Russia&#39;s war efforts by lowering its price cap for seaborne Russian-origin crude oil. The new cap will be set at USD$47.60 per barrel, down from USD$60.
