The US to Sign Long-Term Defense and Security Agreement with Ukraine

Reported about 1 year ago

International News Center, June 12, 2024, 1:04 PM: US President Joe Biden and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy will sign a long-term defense and security agreement at the Group of Seven (G7) summit in Italy on Thursday, June 13. The move aims to show US determination towards Russia but does not involve direct US military intervention in Ukraine. The agreement has the joint support of 15 other countries. The G7 summit will address various global challenges beyond the Ukraine-Russia conflict, including the Middle East, trade imbalances with China, artificial intelligence, and immigration. This summit is significant for G7 leaders facing domestic political challenges, including potential last moments for Democratic candidate Biden engaging in fierce competition with presumed Republican candidate, former President Donald Trump, and recent gains of far-right European parties in EU elections. Analysts raise concerns about the consequences if G7 leaders fail to reach consensus on shared issues. US officials express confidence in continued close cooperation with EU partners regardless of European Parliament election outcomes.

Reported about 1 year ago

Yellow and white sweet corn may have different pigments in the kernel, but the main variation in taste comes from the corn variety rather than the color, according to Mark Mueller, a corn farmer from Iowa. Mueller explains that the preference for yellow corn over white corn originated from a popular corn variety in the late 1800s.
