Trump administration urges Supreme Court to block foreign aid payments

WASHINGTON, Aug. 27 (Xinhua) — The Donald Trump administration on Tuesday asked the U.S. Supreme Court to approve the withholding of billions of dollars in foreign aid, challenging a federal court ruling that forces the government to continue payments.

The Justice Department filed an emergency appeal, noting that a three-judge panel of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit earlier this month ruled to overturn the ruling.

The order remains in place, however, as the full U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit declined to stay it last week, ordering the Trump administration to pay nearly $2 billion in back foreign aid to contractors around the world.

In March, the Supreme Court refused to allow the administration to avoid making the payments. The Trump administration is now pressing for a final ruling, arguing that without judicial intervention, it would be forced to make the payments, which would be contrary to executive foreign policy decisions.

On January 20, US President D. Trump imposed a 90-day pause on all foreign aid and has since been gradually weakening the US Agency for International Development, while exploring the possibility of moving the agency under the State Department. –0–

WASHINGTON, Aug. 27 (Xinhua) — U.S. President Donald Trump said Tuesday he was considering imposing "very serious" economic sanctions on Russia if it abandons a ceasefire in its three-and-a-half-year conflict with Ukraine.

“What I have in mind is very, very serious if I have to do it, but I want it [the war] to end,” the media quotes D. Trump as saying in response to a reporter’s question about whether Russian President Vladimir Putin will face consequences if he does not agree to a ceasefire.

"We have economic sanctions. I say economic sanctions because we are not going to get involved in a world war," he added.

D. Trump has long been threatening sanctions against Russia and trying to mediate a one-on-one meeting between V. Putin and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, for which, according to the Kremlin, the conditions are not yet ready.

Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said on Thursday that the deployment of foreign troops on Ukrainian territory was unacceptable to Russia, while the United States and Europe were working to provide security guarantees to Kyiv.

S. Lavrov also noted on August 19 that Russia does not reject any formats, either bilateral or trilateral, for resolving the conflict in Ukraine. –0–

Moscow, August 27 /Xinhua/ – The situation with the investigation of the terrorist attacks on the Nord Stream pipeline is developing "in the wrong direction", Russia is being "kept in the dark", RIA Novosti reported, citing a statement by the First Deputy Permanent Representative of the Russian Federation to the UN Dmitry Polyansky.

According to him, the situation around the sabotage of the Nord Streams is very important. It is developing in the "wrong direction", the Russian Federation is being kept "in the dark" regarding the investigation of the terrorist attacks. The Russian Federation calls on Germany not to conceal the truth about the terrorist attacks on the Nord Streams and to provide full information at their disposal

"Security guarantees" should be not only for Ukraine, but also for Russia, Dmitry Polyansky said. The inaction of the UN Security Council on the terrorist attacks on the Nord Streams and the lack of progress on this issue threaten "relapses" in other regions of the world, he added.

According to media reports, on August 21, Ukrainian Sergei Kuznetsov was detained in Italy on a German warrant. He is suspected of involvement in the explosions of the Nord Stream and Nord Stream 2 pipelines. The German Prosecutor General's Office claimed that the man "was part of a group of people who planted explosive devices on gas pipelines in the Bornholm area in September 2022."

On September 26, 2022, unprecedented damage was recorded on three lines of Nord Stream and the never-commissioned Nord Stream 2. –0–

/SCO Summit in Tianjin/ Future LRT train operators from Astana undergo training in China

TIANJIN, Aug. 27 (Xinhua) — In preparation for the launch of the light rail transit (LRT) system in Astana, 29 LRT train operators are undergoing training in the north Chinese city of Tianjin for 90 days.

The project to build LRT lines in Astana is being implemented with the participation of Chinese companies, including the Sixth Construction Bureau of the China National Construction and Engineering Corporation and the Tianjin Metro. This is the first light rail network in Astana and in Central Asia as a whole.

Before arriving in China, the LRT train operators completed a theoretical training course in Astana, and in Tianjin they moved on to practical training, during which the main tasks were familiarization with train equipment, practicing actions in emergency situations, and practical training on rolling stock.

Training and internship are conducted by specialists from the Tianjin Metro. The Chinese side has developed special training programs for operators from Kazakhstan, adapted to the climatic and operational conditions of Astana.

“Our team of specialists has visited Astana many times to study in-depth the local operating conditions and special needs, and as a result, we have developed a special simulation program for safe driving and emergency response to accidents in icy and snowy weather, which is as close as possible to the harsh winter climate of Astana, characterized by severe frost and heavy snowfalls,” said Wang Qingyun, CEO of the consulting company at the Tianjin Metro.

Among the operators being trained in Tianjin is 36-year-old Dabkhan Kossanov, who has 15 years of experience driving passenger and freight trains. “I dream of returning to my homeland after mastering practical skills here, to become a professional mentor to help more young people in Kazakhstan start a career in the light rail industry,” he told Xinhua.

According to the previously concluded framework agreement, the first stage of the LRT project in Astana is over 20 km long, with 18 stations and one wagon depot. Chinese enterprises are participating in the implementation of the project – from design and construction to operation and training of technical personnel, which will have to overcome a number of engineering and construction difficulties, such as extreme frosts of up to minus 40 degrees Celsius, frequent strong winds and high groundwater levels, as well as introduce advanced environmental technologies into the project.

According to the authors of the project, as one of the achievements in the implementation of the Belt and Road initiative, the new transport system will be able to almost halve the travel time between the two ends of the LRT line, effectively alleviate the problem of traffic congestion in the city during rush hours, stimulate economic revival along the route of this line, and also improve the overall image and urban competitiveness of Astana. -0-

LOS ANGELES, Aug. 27 (Xinhua) — The U.S. Department of Transportation said Tuesday it has canceled $175 million in funding for four high-speed rail projects in California.

The Donald Trump administration said Tuesday it would stop funding work on the multi-level crossings and overpasses and the design and construction of the Madera train station.

“As of today, the American people have stopped investing in California’s failed experiment,” said U.S. Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy.

California spent about $15 billion to build high-speed rail. The state filed a lawsuit in July to challenge the funding cut, calling the decision illegal.

The project, which won voter approval for a $10 billion bond issue in 2008, includes more than 50 major structures such as bridges, overpasses and viaducts. –0–
