Trump breaks protocol to welcome Xi as US, China extend trade truce
Chinese President Xi Jinping has arrived in the United States for a three-day visit, breaking protocol to welcome him and his wife Peng Liyuan. This is expected to discuss trade, technology, critical minerals, and the relationship between the US and China. The two countries have also agreed to extend their trade tariff truce until January. This follows several rounds of talks between US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent and Chinese Vice Premier He Lifeng. The extension of the truce gives Washington and Beijing more time to work on their economic relationship. The talks are also expected to cover several sensitive areas, including the flow of chemicals used to make fentanyl, and possible tariff cuts on a limited group of non-strategic goods.

Zelenskyy seeks energy ceasefire as Trump pushes for Ukraine peace deal
The U.S. and Ukraine have used the U.N. General Assembly to renew calls for an end to the war Russia started over four and a half years ago.

He also renewed his request for American Patriot missiles to be used in defense against Russia. Zelenshyy called ending the war "the priority" while Ukraine is ready, casting doubt on Russian President Vladimir Putin's willingness to find peace. However, Russian foreign policy expert Mark N. Katz dismissed the idea of a ceasefire anytime soon, stating that Putin needs a "win" to justify the costly war.

Fusion Energy Developer Recognized Among Climate-Focused Growth Companies
A recent LinkedIn post from Commonwealth Fusion Systems has revealed that the company has been included in the “50 by 2050” list, which highlights firms addressing major physical-world challenges such as agriculture, transportation, industry, critical resources, computing, and power generation, including fusion energy. The list was selected from a pool of 500 candidates and organizers emphasized vision, technology, and scale as key criteria. This recognition may signal third-party validation of Commonwealth Fusion's fusion power ambitions and may increase its profile among climate-tech and infrastructure-focused capital providers. While this does not directly translate into revenue or technical milestones, it could support future fundraising, partnership discussions, and policy engagement as fusion energy continues to attract attention within the broader energy-transition landscape.

Meet Casper, the rare ghost lobster now part of university research
A rare white lobster, sometimes known as a ghost lobster, has been donated to the University of New England (UNE) as part of ongoing research into the genetic causes of lobster coloration. The project, led by Markus Frederich, uses noninvasive techniques to collect and analyze genetic material without harming the lobsters. Researchers are studying differences in gene expression that may help explain the molecular mechanisms behind rare coloration and identify how coloration may be inherited. Researchers have collected genetic material from juvenile lobsters and are analyzing over 15,000 genes.

Heads of AI firms tell UN Security Council it could be a risk to all humanity
The heads of major artificial intelligence firms, Dario Amodei, Sam Altman, and Clément Delangue, have urged the United Nations Security Council to regulate the technology that they are developing. They believe that if managed poorly, AI could be a risk to humanity as a whole. Both executives believe that the world should establish safeguards to prevent the technology from becoming too powerful. They also called for the world to ensure that the power of AI isn't concentrated in one company or country. The UK Foreign Secretary Ed Miliband said the G20 will include discussions about controlling AI at the center of discussions, looking for a single set of global standards to ensure its safety. However, the United States countered that concerns about AI's development are not a reason to halt its development or create a new global governance structure.
