Trump proposed that the EU send peacekeepers to Ukraine. On the 12th, the US Wall Street Journal quoted people familiar with the matter as saying that US President-elect Trump had proposed that EU member states send peacekeepers to Ukraine to monitor a possible ceasefire between Ukraine and Russia. The article said that on the 7th, during his talks with French President Macron and Ukrainian President Zelensky, Trump said that Europe should play a major role in monitoring the ceasefire, and the United States would not send troops to participate. According to the report, the proposal is still in its early stage, and it is still unclear which countries will participate, how many troops will be sent and what role the United States will play in it. At the same time, it is also unknown whether EU countries can deploy soldiers to participate in the mission and whether they can get domestic political support. However, according to informed sources, Trump is not obsessed with any specific plan to end the conflict, and he has not thought deeply about this issue at present.Rapidan Energy Group: After 2035, crude oil prices may usher in a new boom period.Fitch: (Talking about American residential builders) It is estimated that the residential inventory will improve slightly in 2025, but it will remain at a low level, and it will vary from region to region.
