Facebook Tweet Email Link Hong Kong  —  Chinese refineries have placed new orders for Russian crude that will be shipped from ports that typically supply India, as demand from the South Asian country for Moscow’s crude slips following US President Trump’s tariffs.

Facebook Tweet Email Link Anchorage, Alaska AP  —  An Alaska man might have walked away as the biggest winner of last week’s high stakes summit between US President Donald Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin in Anchorage.
