On Monday, China’s cargo spacecraft Tianzhou-3 docked successfully with the space station core module Tianhe, bringing supplies for the scheduled Shenzhou-13 crewed mission. The entire process took about 6.5 hours. Living supplies for the astronauts, one extravehicular space suit for backup, supplies for extravehicular activities, space station platform materials, payloads, and propellants were among the items brought by Tianzhou-3. The launch was the 389th mission of the Long March rocket series and the 20th mission of China’s manned space projects.
US President Donald Trump warned that Russia will face severe economic sanctions unless it agrees to a ceasefire in Ukraine within 50 days. “My call to Putin is clear. If a meaningful ceasefire is not reached, we will impose 100% secondary tariffs,” Trump said after meeting NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte at the White House.
Trump added that the sanctions would also target countries trading with Russia and stressed he would bypass Congress if necessary. He blamed the ongoing war on President Joe Biden’s policies and stated, “This is not my war. I’m here to end it.”
He also announced that the US would supply NATO with advanced weapons, but insisted that European countries must cover the costs. “European countries will pay,” he said, promising rapid delivery of air defense systems and munitions to Ukraine.
