Gold prices tick higher on fresh US tariff threats, Fed rate cut hopes
Investing.com -- Talks between Russian President Vladimir Putin and U.S. special envoy Steve Witkoff were "useful and constructive," according to Kremlin foreign policy aide Yuri Ushakov on Wednesday.
Witkoff spent approximately three hours in discussions with Putin at the Kremlin. The meeting took place just two days before the expiration of a deadline set by President Donald Trump, who has threatened Russia with new sanctions if it does not agree to peace in Ukraine.
Ushakov told Russian news outlet Zvezda that the two sides addressed the conflict in Ukraine and explored possibilities for improving relations between the United States and Russia.
The Kremlin aide also mentioned that Moscow had received certain "signals" from Trump and had sent messages in return, though specific details about these communications were not disclosed.
