Britain and France have unveiled a powerful new nuclear cooperation pact — dubbed the Northward Declaration — pledging deeper coordination of their arsenals amid rising European tensions. British PM Keir Starmer and French President Emmanuel Macron announced the agreement in a joint statement, vowing unified deterrence against any "extreme threat" to the continent. Russia reacted sharply, calling the pact part of NATO's "anti-Russian canvas" and warning it would be considered in future military planning. Moscow has condemned the UK-France coordination as a dangerous escalation and an extension of Washington's influence in Europe. With nearly 500 nuclear warheads combined, the UK and France’s alignment significantly alters the nuclear landscape in Europe. Macron denied any link to Ukraine but said the pact "sends a message" to allies and enemies alike. Russian Deputy FM Ryabkov warned Moscow will now factor London and Paris’ joint nuclear force into its military strategy.

In a landmark move, the UK and France have signed a historic agreement to coordinate their nuclear forces in response to growing threats—particularly from Russia. The pact strengthens joint deterrence capabilities and marks a unified European nuclear posture not seen before. The deal also expands their Joint Expeditionary Force to 50,000 troops. Leaders Macron and Starmer called it a “renewed vision” for European security, reaffirming support for Ukraine and warning against easing pressure on Putin as war escalates.

FBI Chief Kash Patel has firmly denied widespread speculation about his resignation, calling the rumors “conspiracy theories” and pledging unwavering loyalty to President Donald Trump. In a viral post on X, Patel wrote, “The conspiracy theories just aren’t true, never have been. It’s an honor to serve the President... and I’ll continue to do so for as long as he calls on me.” The statement comes amid MAGA-world turmoil over Attorney General Pam Bondi’s handling of the Epstein Files and swirling reports that top officials, including Dan Bongino and Patel himself, were ready to quit. Patel’s firm rebuttal is a major signal of unity in Trump’s inner circle, especially after George Santos’ viral post speculating on Matt Gaetz replacing Bondi. As Trump’s administration faces growing scrutiny, Patel’s loyalty appears rock-solid — and his denial could help quash internal rebellion rumors and redirect focus back to Trump's re-election priorities.

President Donald Trump vigorously defended Attorney General Pam Bondi’s handling of the Jeffrey Epstein documents, accusing his own MAGA allies of orchestrating an unfair campaign against her. At a recent rally, he lambasted critics, saying they’re “all going after AG Pam Bondi” despite her "fantastic job." Trump blamed "selfish people" for obsessing over the Epstein Files—penned by Obama, Hillary Clinton, Comey, Brennan, and Biden appointees—rather than celebrating what he calls “the perfect administration.” He claimed MAGA is being undermined by endless distractions and urged focus on issues like border security, Energy Dominance, election fraud, and public safety. Trump dismissed calls for renewed scrutiny of Epstein, referencing fallout from alleged “fake dossiers” and expanded investigations. He praised Bondi’s ongoing work into the 2020 election and emphasized America’s resurgence. His remarks reignited MAGA infighting and shifted attention from past controversies to future political battles.

President Trump has announced sweeping 30% tariffs on imports from the European Union and Mexico, igniting fresh trade tensions. Starting August 1, key sectors like auto parts, electronics, agriculture, and pharmaceuticals could see massive price hikes. The EU had hoped for a trade deal, but escalating tariffs now threaten negotiations. With over 60% of U.S. vegetables and 71% of drywall materials coming from Mexico, American households could see grocery and construction costs soar—up to $1,200 more annually. Retaliatory tariffs from affected countries may soon follow.
