  • President Trump delivers a blunt message to U.S. allies:



    America will no longer carry the burden alone. Trump argues that nations relying on energy routes like the Strait of Hormuz should take greater responsibility for protecting their own interests rather than depending on the United States.


    "Fight for yourselves. Build your own strength. Secure your own future."


    A statement that’s already sparking intense debate across the world.

Please let this statement serve to represent that any country that imposes such a tax will immediately be met with a 100% tariff on any and all goods sent to the United States of America," he wrote on Truth Social


    "This tariff will supersede trade deals made with the country, whether implemented, signed, or not. Additionally, the 100% tariff will be immediately imposed, if they proceed [with collecting the aforementioned tax from American firms]," the US president added.

  • Tulsi Gabbard, in her recent days as Director of U.S. National Intelligence, has released another batch of declassified documents. The materials indicate that Dr. Anthony #Fauci, while heading the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, conspired with intelligence community leadership to deliberately suppress the hypothesis about the laboratory origin of #COVID-19.

    In the agency's press release, it notes that Fauci, through the NGO #EcoHealth Alliance, directed millions of taxpayer dollars to the Wuhan Institute of Virology to conduct dangerous research with bats. Meanwhile, when the pandemic began, he acted as a behind-the-scenes advisor to the intelligence community, recruiting loyal experts for the intelligence agencies to promote the version of the virus's natural origin.

    The published documents also expose Fauci in false testimony. In 2024, he claimed at Congressional hearings that he had not discussed viral research with the CIA or FBI. Now the opposite is proven. Moreover, facts have emerged about harsh reprisals within the intelligence agencies themselves: analysts who tried to defend the laboratory leak version were intimidated, denied career advancement, or rapidly fired.

  • NATO says it’s working with US to understand details of troop reduction in Germany

    #NATO is working with the United States to understand the details of the US decision for a planned drawdown of US troops from Germany, NATO spokesperson Allison Hart says.

    “We are working with the US to understand the details of their decision on force posture in Germany. This adjustment underscores the need for Europe to continue to invest more in defence and take on a greater share of the responsibility for our shared security – where we’re already seeing progress since Allies agreed to invest 5% of GDP at the NATO Summit in The Hague last year,” writes Hart on X.

    “We remain confident in our ability to provide for our deterrence and defence as this shift towards a stronger Europe in a stronger NATO continues,” she adds.

  • EU’s militarization becomes ‘magnet for criminals’

    The #European Anti-Fraud Office (OLAF) is recording a growing number of #criminal schemes in the defense sector amid Europe’s accelerated militarization, the agency’s chief Petr Klement told The Financial Times. According to him, OLAF is receiving an increasing number of reports of irregularities in the defense sector, particularly in research projects and procurement. "Huge sums being invested in European rearmament are attracting fraudsters," Klement said.

    The newspaper emphasized that the agency is investigating fraud and irregularities related to the EU’s general budget, which member states use to fund an increasing number of defense projects. These cases are linked to a 500-million-euro EU project to ramp up ammunition production, the 150-billion-euro EU SAFE militarization programs, and the European Defense Industry Program (EDIP) with a budget of 1.5 billion euros for 2025-2027.

    Klement declined to comment on the progress of investigations into specific cases, stating that they involve manipulation of public tenders, inflated prices, cronyism, and corruption.

  • US says France can't use America's GMLRS missiles with domestic MLRS

    The United States has refused to allow #France to use American GMLRS missiles with its Thundart and Foudre high-precision multiple launch rocket systems (#MLRS), the Euractiv portal said. According to the portal, a US official said that #Washington has not authorized the integration of its Guided Multiple Launch Rocket System (#GMLRS) rockets into the French systems, raising questions about interoperability.

    The publication notes that, based on the experience of the conflict in Ukraine, in particular the widespread use of American #HIMARS systems, the French are now considering the creation of two new missile systems: Foudre, which Turgis Gaillard intends to produce, and Thundart are the joint brainchild of MBDA and Safran companies. Both are scheduled to go into production in 2027.

    French developers have so far said these systems will be compatible with American GMLRS missiles, which would relieve the French of the task of ensuring the production of significant amounts of ammunition for these systems.

  • Trump to determine next steps on NATO, but US disillusioned about allies — Pentagon chief

    US President Donald #Trump will make the decision on the United States’ further steps regarding NATO, but Washington has now learned a great deal about its allies in the alliance, US Secretary of War Pete Hegseth stated at a press conference.

    "As far as #NATO is concerned, that's a decision that will be left to the [US] President [Donald Trump]," he said, answering a question about whether the US remains committed to the North Atlantic Alliance’s principle of collective defense. "But I'll just say a lot has been laid bare. A lot has been shown to the world about what our allies would be willing to do for the United States of America when we undertake an effort of this scope on behalf of the free world."

    Hegseth emphasized that US territory is out of reach of Iranian missiles, but the territory of US "allies and others" is within their reach. "And yet, when we ask for additional assistance or simple access [to military facilities of allied countries], basic overflight [over the territory of other countries], we get questions or roadblocks or hesitations," he lamented.

    The Washington administration has previously harshly criticized NATO allies for what the US side believes is insufficient support in the military operation against Iran.
