Companies from Russia and Pakistan have launched a barter trade mechanism, an agreement to this effect was signed on the sidelines of the first Pakistan-Russia trade and investment forum in Moscow on Tuesday, the TASS news agency reported on Tuesday.

Donald J. Trump has promised many things that have yet to come to fruition and likely won't. Age became a talking point in reelecting President Joe Biden. Still, if elected, Donald would be the oldest President by the end of his term, and his mental decline has been displayed on numerous occasions—on Truth Social and whenever a microphone is in front of him.
In late August, Trump said following a would-be assassin's attempt that he would "gladly" release his medical records.
Speaking in a rally in Michigan today, JD Vance told the rally-goers that even the Mar-A-Lago gardener gave input into who Trump selected to be the vice president candidate.
Vance is trying to keep promoting his idiotic "we don't believe or listen to the experts" routine which makes his choice more ridiculous.
VANCE: You know, it's funny when the president, the only conversation that he and I ever had about whether I might become his vice presidential nominee was the Saturday before the convention.
If you remember, that was the Saturday where he was shot in Bucks County, Pennsylvania.
