Qatar is determined to make diplomacy work to end the conflict between the United States and Iran, Foreign Ministry spokesman Majed al-Ansari tells Al Jazeera. On Tuesday, Doha oversaw the first US-Iran meeting in months on the sidelines of the UN General Assembly.
Iran rejected claims that it had abandoned its preconditions for reopening the Strait of Hormuz after three hours of Qatar-mediated talks with U.S. envoys in New York. Donald Trump described the meeting as highly productive and suggested more talks could follow soon, sending Brent crude below $100 a barrel.
The United States and Iran held their first shuttle talks in months on Wednesday, raising hopes that the adversaries could move toward ending the Middle East war. Neither side, however, indicated that its position had changed.

Donald Trump praised talks with Iran, reviving hopes that diplomacy could make progress.

Coal deliveries to Russia’s domestic electric power sector are projected to grow by nearly 30% by 2050 under a government-approved development program for the coal industry. Supplies are expected to reach 90–100 million tons by 2030 and 85–125 million tons by 2050, compared with 95.4 million tons in 2024.
TTASSOriginal★★★☆☆2026-09-23 13:42
Under the target scenario of the government-approved coal sector development program, Russia’s coal production is projected to grow from 442 million tons in 2024 to 662 million tons in 2050. Domestic supplies are expected to increase from 179 million tons to 231.7 million tons over the same period.
Russia’s government-approved coal-sector development program projects exports will rise from 197.6 million tons in 2024 to 350.1 million tons in 2050 under its target scenario. Exports are forecast at 266.7 million tons in 2030 and 320.2 million tons in 2036, while imports are planned at 13 million tons in 2030 and 12 million tons in both 2036 and 2050.
Under the target scenario in the government-approved revised coal-sector development program, Russia’s share of global coal exports is projected to rise from 13% in 2024 to 27% by 2050.

President Donald Trump warned Iran during his United Nations General Assembly address that he could “annihilate the Islamic Republic” if no deal is reached. He is also preparing to welcome Chinese President Xi Jinping to the White House, where intensifying AI competition will be central to the agenda. The visit has drawn rare criticism from a senior Republican.
As AI industry leaders urge a global slowdown to protect humanity, the United States and China show no intention of slowing development. Donald Trump and Xi Jinping are expected to reach only limited cooperation on AI safety at their Washington summit, with mistrust and differing views of the main risks obstructing broader coordination.
Xi Jinping and Donald Trump are due to meet this week to tackle thorny issues ranging from trade to Taiwan. Both sides agree on one point: neither can afford to slow down in the race for AI leadership.
Persistent growth in Chinese exports to the United States is helping the world’s second-largest economy withstand ongoing domestic challenges, shifting the dynamics ahead of the Trump-Xi meeting.
President Donald Trump and Chinese leader Xi Jinping are set to meet at the White House during a high-stakes state visit, with Iran, Taiwan and trade among the thorny issues they will have to navigate.
US President Donald Trump will host Chinese leader Xi Jinping in Washington this week, with trade, artificial intelligence and Taiwan expected on the agenda. Experts say Trump’s planned welcome is unprecedented, but a major breakthrough on AI or other issues is unlikely.
CNN’s Simone McCarthy writes that when Chinese leader Xi Jinping visits Washington this week to meet President Donald Trump, he will be in a vastly different position from the last time the two men met face-to-face in the United States nearly a decade ago.
Calls are growing for the United States and China to work together on safeguards for artificial intelligence as President Donald Trump prepares to welcome Chinese President Xi Jinping in Washington. The rivalry over AI is set to hang over their talks, whether it brings a “nuclear” threat or a market boom.
AI safety fears have intensified in recent weeks and are expected to be a key focus when the U.S. and Chinese leaders meet, analysts told CNBC. Yet neither side wants to slow its progress in artificial intelligence.

CNN, Politico and MS NOW, which President Donald Trump abruptly barred from accessing the White House, will argue in court Wednesday that the policy is unconstitutional.
The Justice Department argues in a court filing that access to White House grounds is a privilege rather than a right, saying the president determined CNN, MS NOW and Politico had not met basic standards of professionalism and decorum. The outlets contend the ban violates due process and First Amendment rights.
In a court filing submitted late Tuesday, the Department of Justice argued that President Donald Trump may bar CNN, MSNOW and Politico from the White House. It characterized media access as a “privilege” and pointed to national security concerns.
The US Justice Department asked a federal judge to reject CNN, MS Now and Politico’s request to restore White House press credentials for their journalists. President Donald Trump had barred the outlets after deeming their coverage of his administration negative.
