Live from NPR News in Washington, I'm Nora Rahm. A senior Russian official says a potential summit between President Trump and Kremlin leader Vladimir Putin remains on Moscow's agenda. NPR's Charles Mainz has details. In an interview with a Russian policy journal, Deputy Foreign Minister Sergei Ryb Kov said the prospect of a new Trump-Putin meeting remained. I wouldn't rule anything out, said Ripkoff, who characterized ongoing dialogue between Washington and Moscow as impressive.

Those comments come amid a new push by President Trump to negotiate an end to the war in Ukraine. President Putin has loosely endorsed Trump's draft plan, which critics say skews heavily in Moscow's favor. Trump and Putin last met for a hastily scheduled summit in Alaska last August that failed to achieve a diplomatic breakthrough. Then Trump complained the Russian leader still wasn't ready for peace and canceled a potential follow-on meeting last month in Hungary. Charles Mainz, NPR News, Moscow. The COP 30 climate talks wrapped up in Brazil. Brazil today. Participants agreed to increase money paid to poor nations to help them combat climate change. The agreement does not include language to move away from the use of hostile fuels,

which drive global warning. Georgia Republican Marjorie Taylor Green posted online yesterday that she's resigning from the House of Representatives in January. She was a strong supporter of President Trump, but has criticized him on some subjects, including his one-time resistance to the release of files relating to the late sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. Trump called her a traitor. Green says she's been loyal to the president. Standing up for American women who were raped at 14 years old, trafficked in use by rich, powerful men should not result in me being called a traitor and threatened by the president of the United States whom I fought for. She said she doesn't want her district to endure a hurtful and hateful primary against her brought by the president.

Wall Street had a rough week as investors sought reassurance about whether the artificial intelligence boom is more than a bubble. NPR's Maria Aspen reports. All eyes were on invidia this week. The chip company has become a bellwether for the artificial intelligence frenzy, and it's now the most valuable company in the world. On Wednesday, it dropped another blockbuster report card telling investors it made another $32 billion in profit in just three months. But will all the computer chips Nvidia is selling actually transform the economy? Investors are increasingly worried that all the money companies are spending on AI won't pay off in the long term. That would be a rude awakening for the stock market, which has been hitting record highs this year thanks to the soaring value of tech stocks, and particularly AI-related companies.

This is NPR News. The Supreme Court is allowing Texas to use its recently redrawn map of congressional districts while it decides its legality. A decision could come as soon as Monday. A lower court had blocked the map, finding it's likely to be found unconstitutional because it draws the lines to eliminate districts where black and Latino voters make up the majority. Parts of the world-famous Las Vegas strip are closed off today as racing series F1 is in town to host its annual Grand Prix event. The race is a welcome boost for a city that has seen a decline in visitor numbers. NPR's H.J. Mai has more.

Las Vegas is the third and final U.S. stop on this year's F1 calendar. McLaren teammates Lander Norris and Oscar Piastri are in a race for the title.
