U.S. Secretary of State Anthony Blinken says both sides in Sudan’s conflict must come to the negotiating table to work on implementing agreements to stop their brutal fight. World financial markets got a boost today after the U.S. Federal Reserve on Wednesday cut its benchmark interest rate by an unusually large half-point.
