Donald Trump said he wants China's help dealing with Russia to end the Ukraine war, speaking aboard Air Force One en route to meet Xi Jinping in South Korea. Trump expressed hope that Xi, who he claims has "a big influence on Putin," could assist despite China being Russia's biggest ally and vital support amid Western sanctions. The comments follow a frustrating week for Trump as his August Putin summit yielded no results, and he admitted conversations with Vladimir "don't go anywhere." Trump announced new sanctions Wednesday against Russia's two biggest oil companies, though the Kremlin claims immunity. Meanwhile, Russian strikes killed several in Kyiv as emergency crews responded, with President Zelensky urging allies to increase support. (PC: AP News)
