Our 30-Second Summary:
U.S. President Donald Trump is set to speak with Russian President Vladimir Putin on Tuesday in an effort to negotiate an end to the ongoing war in Ukraine. Trump, who announced the conversation while traveling on Air Force One, suggested that discussions would involve territorial divisions and power plants. The Kremlin confirmed the call but withheld details. European allies remain cautious due to Trump’s perceived affinity for Putin and his critical stance toward Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy. Meanwhile, Trump’s administration is pushing forward with plans to impose tariffs on various imports, including steel, aluminum, and automobiles, despite concerns over economic disruption. The talks come as Russia continues to occupy parts of Ukraine, including the Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant, amid ongoing conflict.

If finalized, this would be Alphabet’s largest acquisition, bolstering its cybersecurity capabilities as it competes with Microsoft and Amazon in the cloud services market. Wiz, which integrates with major cloud providers like AWS and Microsoft Azure to scan for security risks, would enhance Google's cloud security offerings, following its $5.4 billion acquisition of Mandiant.

The stock market just lost $5t in the last three weeks, is that bad? - Morning Brew

Our 30-Second Summary:
The stock market has lost $5 trillion over the past three weeks, marking the fourth consecutive negative week for both the S&P 500 and Nasdaq, while the Dow suffered its worst weekly decline since March 2023. The Russell 2000 has fallen nearly 18% since November, nearing bear market territory. Market volatility has surged amid uncertainty surrounding the Trump administration’s rapidly shifting tariff policies and government spending cuts, leading to declining consumer sentiment and inflation concerns. Investors have turned to gold, which hit $3,000 for the first time, as a safe haven. Some economists believe the selloff is a correction of overvalued stocks and that federal intervention could stabilize markets.
