美国总统特朗普重申提议将新墨西哥州改名为“新美国州”。

Middle East analyst Luciano Zaccara said that despite ongoing mediation, Iran and the US appear unwilling to return to negotiations. He said both sides have declared they will retaliate if attacked, creating a self-perpetuating cycle of reprisals with no end in sight. Zaccara added that stepped-up sanctions and a maritime blockade appear insufficient to achieve Trump's aim of strangling Iran's economy, and that direct attacks on vessels and oil facilities have also become an additional pressure tool.

Brazil's planning and budget minister said the new measures will impose a fiscal cost of about 5 bln reais for diesel; gasoline and ethanol tax cuts will cost about 2 bln reais.
