⌨The newspapers report on two major developments. First, the US and China have reached a trade agreement with a 90-day partial suspension of tariffs and a 115% reduction in punitive duties (ANSA, Adnkronos, Il Sole 24 Ore). Second, Pope Leo XIV (formerly Prevost) has met with international journalists, urging them to "disarm communication" from hatred and prejudice, calling them "peace operators" (Avvenire, Corriere, Il Giornale, La Stampa, Sky TG24). The Pope also had his first phone call with Ukrainian President Zelensky, who invited him to visit Kyiv (La Repubblica, La Stampa, Il Giornale).
