Diplomats said the EU decided to abruptly end special trade arrangements that allow most Ukrainian goods to enter the bloc duty-free after Poland led a push to protect EU farmers. The EU already has a free trade agreement with Ukraine, but after the conflict broke out in 2022, the EU further eliminated remaining tariffs.

He named his Boeing 757 private jet "Trump Air Force One", and recently sought to use a Qatari luxury business jet as a new presidential plane. This attempt is a typical example of Trumps "transactional political style", and this dynamic was vividly demonstrated during his visit to Saudi Arabia, Qatar and the United Arab Emirates. On the first day of his arrival in the region, the Saudi sovereign wealth fund placed an aircraft order worth about US$4.8 billion with Boeing. During his visit to Doha on Wednesday, Qatar Airways is also preparing to place an order for large passenger aircraft with Boeing. As one of the two giants in the global large commercial aircraft manufacturing industry, alongside Airbus, Boeing not only symbolizes the strength of the US manufacturing industry, but also becomes an important carrier of the USs foreign economic interests. Analyst George Ferguson said: "Boeing is the largest exporter in the United States, and the aerospace and defense industry is one of the competitive advantages of the United States. We believe that the purchase of Boeing aircraft will be included in many tariff negotiations."On May 14, Jester Koh of UOB Global Economics and Markets Research said in a research report that Indias mild inflation trend means that the Reserve Bank of India is at risk of further interest rate cuts.
