Zelensky Returns to Washington Under Pressure From Putin (20250818)
Ukrainian President, Volodymyr Zelensky, makes his return to the Oval Office later today for a high-stakes meeting with President Trump. Following Trump's Alaska summit with Russian president, Vladimir Putin, last week, Zelensky will be hoping to get reassurance from Trump over U.S. security guarantees for his country, the same topic he pressed Trump for earlier this year, which led to an on-camera confrontation. This time Zelensky's meeting will have important allies accompanying him, including the leaders of the U.K., France, and the European Union. More travel disruptions are expected for Air Canada passengers today after the union representing the airline's 10,000 flight attendants said it would defy the Canadian government's return to work order and continue its strike for another day. The union said it will request that a judge block Ottawa's order that imposed binding arbitration to resolve a labor dispute between the union and the carrier that focused in part on pay. Air Canada said yesterday it intends to resume flights as of this evening.

The deal could be announced as soon as today.
젤렌스키가 트럼프와의 회담을 위해 미국을 방문함. 지난 주 트럼프-푸틴 회담이 있었으며, 젤렌스키는 연초부터 주장했듯이 미국의 우크라이나 안보 보장을 확보하고자 함. 연초에 두 정상은 언론에 공개된 대로 갈등이 있었으나 이번에는 젤렌스키가 영국, 프랑스 등 유럽 리더의 지원을 받을 예정임. 한편 Air Canada의 천 명의 승무원을 대표하는 노조가 캐나다 정부의 업무 복귀 명령을 거부하고 파업을 계속하고 있음. 항공 이용에 차질이 지속될 예정임. 노조는 임금 등 노동분쟁에 대한 중재 명령을 중지할 것을 법원에 요청할 예정임. 한편, 호텔 업체 MCR Hotels가 이끄는 투자단이 Soho House의 상장 폐지를 추진하고 있음. 투자단은 주당 9달러에 인수해 부채를 제외하고 Soho House를 18억 달러로 평가했음. 이르면 오늘 계약이 발표될 예정임
