トランプ米大統領は9日、ロシアのプーチン大統領と電話会談し、同国が軽油30万トン超を直ちに米国と国際市場に供給することで合意したと明らかにした。トランプ氏はSNSへの投稿で「米国民と世界にとって、軽油価格は記録的規模で、しかも急速に下落することになる」と主張した。
11月3日に中間選挙を控えた米国では、対イラン軍事作戦の長期化を背景にした軽油価格の高騰が与党共和党への逆風になっている。トランプ氏は投稿後、ホワイトハウスで記者団に「プーチン大統領に感謝したい」と述べた。米財務省は2027年4月上旬まで約6カ月間、対ロシア制裁の一部を一時的に緩和し、同国産軽油の米国などへの販売・輸出を認めると発表した。
トランプ氏によると、ロシアは30万トンに加え、今年11月中に50万トン、その直後に100万トンを追加供給する。さらに製油施設の稼働状況を踏まえ、300万トンを引き渡すという。ウクライナによる製油施設攻撃にさらされるロシアは、国内安定供給を重視し軽油輸出を禁じているが、ノバク副首相(エネルギー担当)はタス通信に対し、禁輸措置を直ちに解除すると述べた。
ロシア大統領府によれば、プーチン氏は禁輸解除について「世界経済全体にプラスの影響をもたらす」と強調。トランプ氏との電話会談では、「ウクライナ危機解決の展望」が主要議題になったとも明かした。両首脳の電話会談は9月8日以来で、約1カ月ぶり。

According to the U.S. Geological Survey, a magnitude 7.7 earthquake occurred 39 kilometers northwest of Tonosi in southern Panama, causing damage to buildings and other damage. At one point, it was announced that there was a risk of a tsunami along the coast of Panama, Ecuador, Mexico, and Peru, but the warning was later lifted. The Japan Meteorological Agency has hinted at the possibility of sea level changes along the coast of Japan, but says there is no fear of damage.

On the 9th, the US government designated the International Criminal Court (ICC) as a target of sanctions. The Trump administration accused the ICC of threatening U.S. sovereignty, and the sanctions barred the ICC from doing business with U.S. companies and excluded it from dollar-denominated payments, but a 180-day grace period was set in place.

One year has passed since the start of the Israeli army's military operations in the Gaza Strip, and even after a ceasefire was agreed, the Israeli army continues to occupy about 70% of the area, making no progress in reconstruction, and the remaining 30% of the population, about 2 million people, are forced to live in tents. Akihiro Kiyota, director of UNRWA's Health Department, expressed a sense of crisis in Gaza, saying, ``Gaza is no longer a place where people can live,'' as medical shortages and sanitary conditions continue to worsen, and malnutrition and infectious diseases remain unresolved.

On the 9th, the US government designated the International Criminal Court (ICC) as a target of sanctions. This announcement came just hours after Navi Pillay, former United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights, was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize. The Trump administration has objected to the ICC's decision, citing the threat of indicting American soldiers, and Secretary of State Rubio stressed, ``Either the ICC stops threatening us, or we will end the ICC.'' The sanctions prohibit the ICC from doing business with U.S. companies and barring them from making dollar-denominated payments, but there is a 180-day grace period.

Navi Pillay (85) wins the Nobel Peace Prize. As a human rights lawyer from South Africa, he has served as the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights and an ICC judge, and was praised for his commitment to defending justice and morality under international law. The award came at a time when the rule of law was under threat due to the Trump administration's ICC sanctions.
