Senator JD Vance, nominated as Donald Trump's vice-presidential running mate, opposes continued US funding for Ukraine, advocating for peace negotiations instead. Vance's criticisms of the Biden administration's handling of the Ukraine war and his belief that the conflict benefits American business have fueled tensions with Ukrainian President Zelensky. With Trump promising to end the war swiftly, their potential election victory could significantly alter US-Ukraine relations.

Republican Presidential Candidate Donald Trump has chosen former critic JD Vance as his vice-presidential nominee. Vance, a 39-year-old Ohio Senator and author, was confirmed as VP pick by RNC delegates.
Despite past criticisms of Trump, Vance has become a strong supporter. After winning his Senate seat with Trump's endorsement in 2022, Vance is now attacking Joe Biden, calling him an "incapacitated president" and accusing Democrats of lying about Biden's health.

EPA's New Limits on PFAS , in Drinking Water Could Be , Upended by the Supreme Court.
'Newsweek' reports that the United States Supreme Court
is scheduled to hear a case against new water rules put
in place by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
'Newsweek' reports that the United States Supreme Court
is scheduled to hear a case against new water rules put
in place by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
In April, new national limits were placed on per-
and polyfluoroalkyl substances in the nation's
drinking water, otherwise known as PFAS. .
Also known as "forever chemicals,"
PFAS have been linked to a number of
health concerns, including cancer.
According to the EPA, of the 66,000 public drinking water
systems impacted by the new limits, an estimated 6% to
10% will need to make updates to meet the new standards.
According to San Francisco, the EPA's new
"narrative" regulations fail to meet the Clean Water
Act's requirement to lay out clear restrictions.
The lawsuit headed to the Supreme Court accuses the EPA of setting vague rules without quantifiable standards.
Rather than specify pollutant limits
that tell the permitholder how much
they need to control their discharges
as required by the CWA, these
prohibitions effectively tell
permitholders nothing more than
not to cause 'too much' pollution, Lawyers representing San Francisco, via 'Newsweek'.
These generic water quality terms
expose San Francisco and numerous
permitholders nationwide to
enforcement actions while failing
to tell them how much they need
to limit or treat their discharges
to comply with the Act, Lawyers representing San Francisco, via 'Newsweek'.
We simply want to know in advance
what requirements apply to us, and
we want the EPA to fulfil its duty
under the Clean Water Act to
determine those requirements. , Lawyers representing San Francisco, via 'Newsweek'.
'Newsweek' points out that the Supreme Court has sided against
the EPA in the past, most recently in 2022 when it ruled
6-3 against the Biden administration's climate agenda. .
