克里姆林宮：將與美國就能源休戰的想法保持聯繫。

China foreign minister Wang Yi spoke by phone with Latvia’s foreign minister on the 14th. Latvia said the two countries maintain pragmatic cooperation and expect closer communication to advance bilateral ties. Latvia reported 33 of its citizens are missing after a debris flow triggered by an ice-and-rock collapse on the Nepal side that affected Nepal and China’s Tibet Autonomous Region, thanked China’s notifications and rescue efforts, and said it will coordinate with Beijing on follow-up. Wang Yi said China treats Chinese and foreign nationals equally, will continue all-out search-and-rescue operations, make every effort to locate missing Latvian and other foreign nationals, and will handle subsequent arrangements appropriately.

The US Supreme Court temporarily refused a Trump administration request to allow restrictions on mail voting. With midterm voting already under way, the decision lets states continue longstanding procedures for mailing and processing absentee ballots. The administration had sought to have limits take effect before the November congressional elections; about one-third of US voters cast ballots by mail.
