Elon Musk’s much-hyped new political party has reportedly stalled just two months after its launch. Sources say Musk is retreating amid GOP pushback, fearing damage to ties with Republican leadership, especially VP JD Vance. The Tesla billionaire has suspended meetings, distanced himself from allies like Andrew Yang, and shifted focus back to Republican politics. Despite once pledging millions for his own party, Musk may now redirect support toward Vance’s 2028 White House run. Critics argue Musk lacks the credibility and infrastructure to build a lasting third-party force.

Volodymyr Zelensky is set to meet Donald Trump in Washington on Monday, but this time he won’t face him alone. At Zelensky’s request, top European leaders—including Ursula von der Leyen, Keir Starmer, Emmanuel Macron, Giorgia Meloni, Friedrich Merz, and NATO’s Mark Rutte—will join to shield him from another Oval Office humiliation. February’s chaotic meeting, where Trump and JD Vance mocked Zelensky, left deep scars. Now, Europe’s united front aims to counter Trump’s confrontational style and prevent a repeat embarrassment for Ukraine.

A surprising twist is unfolding in U.S. politics — prominent MAGA figures are calling for Elon Musk’s return to their fold. Vice President JD Vance, strategist Roger Stone, and activists like Scott Presler are urging reconciliation despite Musk’s past feud with Donald Trump over the “Big Beautiful Bill” and his talk of forming a third party.
They say Musk’s vast resources were pivotal to Trump’s 2024 victory, and could be decisive for the 2026 midterms. MAGA Inc has already raised $177 million in 2025, but leaders see Musk as the ultimate game-changer — their “George Soros of the Right.” Musk hasn’t spoken about his “America Party” in weeks and even donated $15 million to the GOP in June. He has recently supported Trump’s calls to federalize D.C. policing. The push for a full political reunion is intensifying.

US President Donald Trump has delivered a blunt message to Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky ahead of their White House meeting. Trump declared that Ukraine must abandon its NATO ambitions and accept the loss of Crimea if it truly wants peace with Russia. The ultimatum comes just days after Trump’s Alaska summit with Vladimir Putin, which he admitted brought “little progress” toward ending the war. With Zelensky under mounting pressure and European allies resisting Trump’s terms, Washington is bracing for a high-stakes clash that could reshape the future of the Ukraine war.

U.S President Trump refused to lower tariffs for the European Union, finalizing a major trade deal that locks in a flat 15% duty on most EU imports. When asked if he could offer a “better” rate, Trump snapped: “Better? Meaning lower? No.”
European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen was forced to smile through the awkward moment, securing zero tariff relief despite a last-minute scramble to strike a deal at Trump’s Turnberry resort in Scotland.
The EU, in return, agreed to $750 billion in U.S. energy purchases—but walked away with no concessions, no exemptions, and plenty of political pressure at home. Was this a win for stability or a one-sided surrender?

U.S President Donald Trump publicly humiliated European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen during a high-stakes trade announcement in Scotland. From mocking wind power — “Windmills are a scam!” — to refusing any EU tariff relief, Trump dominated the press conference, calling out Ursula for “not taking notes” and blasting the EU’s climate and immigration failures.
Despite the EU’s hopes for a softer deal, Trump slammed them with a 15% tariff, compared their policies to “a con job,” and left Ursula visibly stunned. With no concessions secured, the EU leader stood by awkwardly as Trump delivered blow after blow in front of a global audience.

Harvard University faces a billion-dollar hit as the Trump administration freezes $2.6 billion in research funds, hikes taxes on its endowment, and pushes a 15% cap on international student enrollment. The school warns of massive layoffs, halted hiring, and deep cost-cutting to survive. President Alan Garber calls the changes “disruptive and painful,” as tensions escalate over allegations of antisemitism and political bias. With international students at risk and Harvard’s finances strained, America’s richest university finds itself at the center of a high-stakes political battle.

A potential face-to-face meeting between Russian President Vladimir Putin and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy could redefine the trajectory of the war, but uncertainty clouds the outcome. U.S. President Donald Trump has pushed hard for direct talks, framing them as the best chance for peace since Russia’s invasion began. The last meeting between Putin and Zelenskyy in 2019 collapsed without progress, and skepticism remains high that Moscow will commit to new negotiations. For Ukraine, the talks represent both hope and risk, as Zelenskyy faces existential stakes for his nation. For Putin, meeting Zelenskyy risks humiliation if Ukraine refuses to surrender. Trump insists he can deliver a breakthrough, but Russian officials remain evasive while Ukraine braces for political traps. Whether the meeting happens or not, the diplomatic chess game underscores the fragile balance of global power and the brutal realities of the war.
