Rishi Sunak won't push US President Joe Biden for a trade deal during a visit to Washington next week, the UK prime minister's spokesman said. The two leaders will discuss the global economy, supply chains and support for Ukraine during the June 7-8 visit, the spokesman, Max Blain, told reporters Tuesday (May 30). As well as Biden, Sunak will meet with congressional leaders and business figures, he said. 'We are not seeking to push a free trade agreement with the US currently,' Blain said when asked if the topic would be up for discussion.

KOTA KINABALU: Deputy Prime Minister Datuk Seri Dr Ahmad Zahid Hamidi says he will request a special allocation to resolve the long-running water supply issue in Sabah. The Minister of Rural and Regional Development said the special provision was necessary to ensure that everyone living in Sabah - especially those in the rural areas - received clean water. "I know the water supply in Sabah is very disappointing, we hear a lot of complaints, especially during the festive season. It's difficult for people to celebrate when there is no water," he said when speaking at the Sabah Umno Liaison Body Aidilfitri Celebration Ceremony here today.

WASHINGTON, United States — The US Supreme Court on Friday temporarily preserved access to a widely-used abortion pill, in an 11th-hour ruling preventing lower court restrictions on the drug from coming into force. The nation's highest court issued an 'administrative stay' freezing the rulings until Wednesday to allow for parties in the case to submit their arguments, in the latest salvo in America's battle over reproductive rights. The stay came after the Justice Department filed an emergency appeal asking the Supreme Court to block the lower court rulings that would have banned or limited use of the drug mifepristone from 1:00 am Eastern Time on Saturday.
