01 Trump announces a security deal with Denmark and Greenland that he says gives the U.S. total control over Greenland's security | ||||||||||||
President Trump announced a security agreement with Denmark and Greenland, claiming it grants the United States total control over Greenland's security and prevents adversaries from establishing bases there. Danish and Greenlandic officials described the pact more narrowly as strengthening Arctic security, stopping short of confirming Trump's assertion of unprecedented U.S. control. The deal follows months of quiet diplomacy after Trump previously threatened to annex the territory by force. | ||||||||||||

02 A federal judge rules that adding Trump's name to the Kennedy Center violates the law and orders 30 days' notice before any demolition | ||||||||||||
A federal judge ruled that adding President Trump's name to the Kennedy Center violates the law and ordered 30 days' notice before any renovation changes or demolition. Trump threatened to demolish the building if his name is not added, claiming the center has lost hundreds of millions of dollars without providing evidence. The Kennedy Center's board closed the main building citing safety concerns after ceiling plaster fell, but a staff member submitted a sworn statement alleging construction crews rammed a forklift into the building's pillars. Eight architecture and culture groups asked the court to appoint a receiver to protect the building. | ||||||||||||

03 Congress passes a bipartisan sanctions bill targeting Russia and Iran that grants the president authority to impose 100% tariffs on countries purchasing Russian oil | ||||||||||||
Congress passed a bipartisan sanctions bill named after the late Senator Lindsey Graham that sanctions Russia, extends presidential sanction authority for Iran, and grants the president authority to impose up to 100% tariffs on countries purchasing Russian oil. The White House confirmed the president intends to sign the bill into law. Some Democrats oppose the legislation because it expands executive tariff power, which they view as an unruly use of power. | ||||||||||||

04 Poland warns that Russia is planning drone or missile strikes on NATO countries that would be made to look like accidents | ||||||||||||
Poland's Prime Minister Donald Tusk warned that Russia is planning drone or missile strikes on NATO countries supporting Ukraine that would be made to look like accidents, intending to paralyze NATO or weaken its willingness to respond collectively. Tusk said he received intelligence from NATO, Ukraine, and U.S. agencies but stressed there is nothing to suggest an invasion. European countries have reported recent hybrid attacks, including a Russian drone with a warhead retrieved off Poland's coast and Germany blaming Russian operatives for an attempted drone strike on a major NATO hub airport. | ||||||||||||

05 Leaked images show extensive damage to U.S. military assets in the Middle East, including an Air Force jet blown in half | ||||||||||||
Leaked images from active service members reveal extensive damage to U.S. military assets in the Middle East, including an Air Force jet blown in half and shredded housing units at bases in Saudi Arabia and Kuwait. A Pentagon watchdog report acknowledged that Iranian strikes have damaged or destroyed hundreds of buildings and dozens of U.S. aircraft. The Pentagon declined to comment on the images, and a service member claims the damage is being kept secret and will take significant time to rebuild. | ||||||||||||

06 South Korea rules out sending troops to support the U.S. war in Iran, citing constitutional prohibitions against wars of aggression | ||||||||||||
South Korean President Lee Jae-myung ruled out sending troops to support the U.S. war in Iran, citing constitutional prohibitions against wars of aggression, though he left open expanding naval escort missions. Trump's pressure tactics included scaling down joint exercises and offering warm words for North Korea. South Korea is balancing appeasing Washington amid critical trade negotiations and preserving diplomatic and oil supply relationships with Iran. | ||||||||||||
