2. The United States will cut the "de minimis" tariff for low-value items imported from China, a White House executive order said, further de-escalating a potentially damaging trade war between the world's two largest economies.
3. U.S. President Donald Trump has offered to attend Thursday's proposed meeting between President Volodymyr Zelenskiy and Russia's Vladimir Putin in Istanbul, which has become the focus of his attempts to end the deadliest conflict in Europe since World War Two. Putin has yet to say if he will take part.
4. U.S. President Donald Trump signed a wide-reaching executive order directing drugmakers to lower the prices of their medicines to align with what other countries pay that analysts and legal experts said would be difficult to implement.
5. An Israeli-American hostage was released from 19 months of captivity in Gaza during a brief pause in fighting and reunited with his family, but Israeli strikes on the battered enclave soon resumed. Israel's military received Edan Alexander, 21, from the International Committee of the Red Cross, which facilitated his transfer from Palestinian militant group Hamas.
