<p>In a diplomatic tit-for-tat move, the United States announced on Friday (Oct 6), that it had expelled two Russian embassy officials from the country. This move came in direct response to Russia's prior expulsion of two US diplomats from the American embassy in Moscow. The decision to expel Russian embassy officials is part of a broader pattern of diplomatic tension and strained relations between the two countries against the backdrop of the Russia-Ukraine war.</p>

<p>"In response to the Russian Federation's specious expulsion of two U.S. Embassy Moscow diplomats, the State Department reciprocated by declaring persona non grata two Russian Embassy officials operating in the United States," a US State Department spokesman said.</p>

<p>"The Department will not tolerate the Russian government's pattern of harassment of our diplomats," the spokesman said and added that "unacceptable actions against our Embassy personnel in Moscow will have consequences."</p>

<p>According to an anonymous source within the Russian foreign ministry cited by Russia's RIA news agency, the expulsion was termed unjustified.

Diplomatic tit-for-tat: US expels Russian embassy officials after similar move by Moscow

<p>US presidential hopeful Vivek Ramaswamy has taken a strong stance against Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky and the ongoing Russia-Ukraine conflict. He argues that labelling Russian President Vladimir Putin as "bad" should not automatically imply that Ukraine is "good."&nbsp;</p>

<p>Ramaswamy condemns President Zelensky for several actions he deems concerning. Firstly, he accuses Zelensky of banning 11 opposition parties, which raises questions about the state of political freedom in Ukraine.</p>

<p>Secondly, he points out Zelensky's consolidation of media into a single state broadcaster, raising concerns about media independence.</p>

<h2><strong>Allegations of corruption</strong></h2>

<p>Another major criticism by Ramaswamy is Ukraine's "abysmal record on corruption." This issue threatens not only the country's stability but also its international reputation. Ramaswamy's concerns about corruption highlight the need for transparency and accountability within the Ukrainian government.</p>

<p>Ramaswamy brings up a controversial incident involving Zelensky. He mentions the Ukrainian president's presence in the Canadian Parliament where a Nazi veteran, Yaroslav Hunka, was honoured. This incident has raised eyebrows and questions about Zelensky's political judgement.</p>

<h2><strong>Financial demands and electoral threats</strong></h2>

<p>Ramaswamy criticizes Zelensky for demanding more financial support from the United States to hold elections. This financial dependence raises concerns about Ukraine's sovereignty and self-reliance. Additionally, Zelensky's threat not to hold regular elections without increased funding raises questions about democratic processes within the country.</p>

<p>Ramaswamy highlights the fact that Russian-speaking regions in Donbas have not participated in Ukrainian parliamentary elections for nearly a decade. This reveals a significant challenge in achieving national unity and representation in Ukraine.</p>

<p>His stance on the Russia-Ukraine conflict is notable. He advocates for a resolution that involves Moscow retaining parts of the Donbas region and Ukraine refraining from joining NATO. Furthermore, he suggests that Russian President Vladimir Putin should exit his military alliance with China as part of ending the conflict.</p>

<p>Despite being a relatively young and politically inexperienced tech entrepreneur, Ramaswamy has gained attention in GOP primary polls. He has garnered support by challenging the status quo and offering unique perspectives on international relations.</p>

<p>While Ramaswamy has risen in GOP primary polls, he still trails behind former President Donald Trump and Florida Governor Ron DeSantis, who lead the race. Trump maintains a significant lead with 56 per cent support, leaving Ramaswamy at 7.3 per cent, according to a RealClearPolitics poll.</p>

<p>Former US President Donald Trump has decided to withdraw a $500 million lawsuit that he had filed against his former attorney, Michael Cohen. The lawsuit accused Cohen of breaching his fiduciary duty by disclosing Trump's "confidences". Trump had alleged that the lawyer spread "falsehoods" in books and media and called him a "racist" which damaged his repute, Reuters reported.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Trump was originally scheduled to give a deposition in the case but postponed it until next week, citing his ongoing civil fraud trial in New York. Notably, the civil trial is against Trump, his eldest sons, their companies, and Trump Organisation executives for allegedly inflating&nbsp;asset valuation by approximately $3.6 billion in three separate years between 2011 and 2021.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Trump's latest decision to drop the lawsuit against his former attorney was announced in a brief one-page court filing on Thursday (Oct 5).</p>

<h2><strong>Lawsuit over Cohen's statements</strong>&nbsp;</h2>

<p>The lawsuit had primarily targeted Cohen's book, his podcast, and his public statements, all of which were critical of Trump and detailed their long-standing relationship.</p>

<p>The suit alleged that Cohen had used his "confidential relationship" with Trump for financial gains, which constituted "grave violations" of his contractual and fiduciary duties to the former president.</p>

<p>In response to Trump's decision to dismiss the lawsuit, Michael Cohen issued a statement on Thursday (Oct 5), describing the case as a "retaliatory" measure.&nbsp;"This case was nothing more than a retaliatory intimidation tactic, and his attempt to hide from routine discovery procedures confirms as much," the former attorney said in the statement.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Trump had initially filed the lawsuit in April. It came shortly after pleading not guilty to 34 felony counts related to falsifying business records.</p>

<p>These charges were connected to reimbursements made to Cohen for hush money payments to porn actress Stormy Daniels during the final weeks of the 2016 presidential campaign.</p>

<p>Trump reportedly gave $130,000 to Daniels in October of that year to make sure that she did not disclose her sexual relationship with the former President. Initially, Trump's former lawyer Cohen said he paid Daniels himself and there was no direction by the Trump campaign to do so. However, he later&nbsp;contradicted his statements and said that it was Trump who directed him to make the payment and then reimbursed the money.</p>

Former US President Donald Trump has decided to withdraw a $500 million lawsuit that he had filed against his former attorney, Michael Cohen. The lawsuit accused Cohen of breaching his fiduciary duty by disclosing Trump's "confidences". Trump had alleged that the lawyer spread "falsehoods" in books and media and called him a "racist" which damaged his repute, Reuters reported. Trump was originally scheduled to give a deposition in the case but postponed it until next week, citing his ongoing civil fraud trial in New York. Notably, the civil trial is against Trump, his eldest sons, their companies, and Trump Organisation executives for allegedly inflating asset valuation by approximately $3.6 billion in three separate years between 2011 and 2021.

Lawsuit over Cohen's statements The lawsuit had primarily targeted Cohen's book, his podcast, and his public statements, all of which were critical of Trump and detailed their long-standing relationship. The suit alleged that Cohen had used his "confidential relationship" with Trump for financial gains, which constituted "grave violations" of his contractual and fiduciary duties to the former president. In response to Trump's decision to dismiss the lawsuit, Michael Cohen issued a statement on Thursday (Oct 5), describing the case as a "retaliatory" measure. "This case was nothing more than a retaliatory intimidation tactic, and his attempt to hide from routine discovery procedures confirms as much," the former attorney said in the statement.

Goldman Sachs predicts the cost of financing the US debt is about to be more expensive than ever. Goldman Sachs strategists have pointed to the rising cost of borrowing over the last year. In 2022, it cost the government 476 billion dollars, or around 2% of the national GDP, to pay the interest on its debt. Strategists estimate that interest payments are set to rise to 3% of GDP in 2024, and 4% of GDP by 2030.
