Donald Trump aims to conclude a peace deal for Ukraine, as analysts indicate that Kiev's position may weaken, necessitating negotiations with Moscow. Ukraine's updated peace plan, consisting of 20 points, diverges from previous agreements with Russia and the US.
Meanwhile, Trump is recognized as a credible candidate to mediate the conflict, though there are concerns about Ukraine's potential concessions. In a separate context, Japan has approved a military spending plan for 2026 exceeding nine trillion yen ($58 billion) to bolster defenses against perceived threats from China, particularly regarding territorial disputes in the East and South China Seas.
This military expansion may coincide with discussions on Japan's nuclear policy, although public opinion largely opposes nuclear armament. Additionally, global GDP growth projections for 2026 expect contributions from developing countries, especially India, while economic momentum in Europe remains weak.
