Hey, from CNN, I'm Josh and Shana, with the five things you need to know for Thursday,

August 7th.

President Donald Trump may be meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin, quote,

in the coming days.

That's according to top Kremlin aide, Yuri Ushikov.

Here's CNN's Fred Plitgin with more.

The Russians are saying that the target that they're working on right now is to try and

make a meeting between President Putin and President Trump happening at some point next week,

but again it's unclear when.

And one of the things that's important is that the Russians have also said that a venue

has already been agreed upon, but that that venue will be announced at some later point.

There's one other really important nuance, though.

The Russians are saying that the idea of a trilateral meeting, involving also Volodymyr Zelensky of Ukraine,

of course, has been demanding a face-to-face meeting with Vladimir Putin.

The Russians are saying that that idea was floated by the US side, was floated by Steve

Whitkoff, and that the Russians did not react to that suggestion.

A new wave of Trump's global tariffs have kicked in today, and you might be wondering

whether the prices of goods will start to rise.

Computers and other electronic goods may become more expensive, as the U.S. has placed

higher tariffs on top industry exporters such as China, Taiwan, Vietnam, and Malaysia.

Clothes could also become more pricey, as the U.S. buys much of its apparel from countries

like China, Vietnam, India, and Indonesia.
