$2,273 network. If liquidity conditions are met, the listing will proceed later today.
Trump’s Announcements
The President of the United States announced that he spoke with Putin. In a post on his social media account, he mentioned that the conversation lasted 15 minutes and stressed the need for progress towards ending the war. Nevertheless, he made moderate remarks.
“I just had a phone call with Russian President Vladimir Putin. The conversation lasted about an hour and 15 minutes. We discussed Ukraine’s attacks on aircraft parked in Russian airports and various other attacks by both sides. It was a good conversation, but not one that would immediately lead to peace. President Putin clearly stated that he had to respond to the recent airport attacks. We also discussed Iran and the urgency for Iran to decide regarding nuclear weapons. This decision needs to be made urgently! I told President Putin that Iran cannot possess nuclear weapons, and I believe we agree on this. President Putin noted that he would participate in upcoming talks with Iran and could help to quickly resolve this issue. I believe Iran is delaying its decision on this very important matter, and we need a definitive answer very soon!”
Additionally, today we shared the details where he mentioned his fondness for Chinese President Xi. His move to ease tensions with China before Friday’s meeting is positive for the short-term performance of cryptocurrencies.
