Donald Trump announces a U-turn by Zelensky, who faced a shutdown of US military aid after he tried to lecture the American leader at the White House. Amid a deep divide between the rival parties, Trump highlights how the Democrats wasted US taxpayers’ money abroad, including on some dubious programmes in Africa. As a trade war escalates between the US and neighbouring Canada, the latter's opposition leader calls for a tough response to Washington's 25-percent tariffs on goods. Chinese officials forecast economic growth for the world's second economy this year, even despite the trade row with the US. That's as delegates sit down for China's annual Two Sessions event in Beijing.
