US defence secretary works out with marines ahead of first NATO meeting

Rubio Slams NATO Allies As ‘Junior Partners’, Demands 5% Defense Spend Ahead Of June Summit

In a bold rebuke of NATO dynamics, US Secretary of State Marco Rubio has called out European allies for falling short on defense spending. Labeling them “junior partners,” Rubio pushed for a drastic hike—up to 5% of GDP—to maintain NATO’s credibility. At his first NATO foreign ministers meeting, he reassured US commitment but demanded others pull their weight. Echoing this, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth warned Europe that US protection is no longer guaranteed unless NATO nations step up. The upcoming June summit will directly address these simmering tensions. #NATO #Rubio #DefenseSpending #USForeignPolicy #MarcoRubio #NATOAllies #NATOSummit #TrumpAdministration #EuropeDefense #Pentagon #PeteHegseth #MikeWaltz #NATOBudget #5PercentGDP #MilitarySpending #USvsEurope #NATOTensions #ForeignAffairs #GlobalSecurity #NATOFuture Also Read US Will Drop Ukraine-Russia Peace Efforts If No Progress Within Days: Marco Rubio :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/us-will-drop-ukraine-russia-peace-efforts-if-no-progress-within-days-marco-rubio-4127371.html?ref=DMDesc Elon Musk-Marco Rubio Clash Over Staff Cuts In Explosive Meeting In Trump's Presence; US Prez Denies Blow Up :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/elon-musk-marco-rubio-clash-over-staff-cuts-in-explosive-meeting-in-trumps-presence-us-prez-denies-4089603.html?ref=DMDesc US-Europe Divide Deepens Over Ukraine As Trump Challenges NATO's Approach :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/us-europe-divide-deepens-over-ukraine-as-trump-challenges-natos-approach-4080283.html?ref=DMDesc

U.S Army Commander Suspended Over 'Missing Trump Wall'| No Photos Of Trump, Vance, Hegseth Displayed

Colonel Sheyla Baez Ramirez has been suspended from command at Fort McCoy after the base failed to display official portraits of President Trump, Vice President JD Vance, and Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth. The glaring omission sparked backlash when empty frames were spotted on the command wall. Defense officials launched an immediate investigation, and the Department of Defense later updated the wall, saying “we fixed it.” Secretary Hegseth confirmed the suspension on X. The military called it an “unusual oversight,” but refused to share further details about the decision. #Trump #JDVance #PeteHegseth #FortMcCoy #MilitaryNews #Army #CommandWall #ColonelRamirez #TrumpAdministration #WhiteHouse #DefenseDept #USArmy #BreakingNews #PortraitFlap #LeadershipShakeup #DOD #TrumpPortrait #MilitaryCommand #USPolitics #ArmyInvestigation #MilitaryControversy #Pentagon #Vance #TrumpSupporters #ArmyBase #SheylaRamirez #NewsUpdate #XPost #GOP #MilitaryReform #CommandScandal Also Read Trump Considers Temporary Exemption from Auto Tariffs to Aid Car Manufacturers Amid Economic Challenges :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/trump-considers-temporary-exemption-auto-tariffs-011-4124041.html?ref=DMDesc Trump Dismisses General Tim Haugh from National Security Agency Amidst Congressional Concerns :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/trump-fires-general-tim-haugh-national-security-agency-011-4115013.html?ref=DMDesc Trump Warns Iran: Strike A Nuclear Deal In Two Months Or Face Unprecedented Bombing :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/trump-warns-iran-strike-a-nuclear-deal-in-two-months-or-face-unprecedented-bombing-4109797.html?ref=DMDesc

EX Russian President Medvedev Claims Western Europe Is Waging ‘Quiet War’ Against Trump

Former Russian President Dmitry Medvedev claims that Western European leaders are waging a “quiet war” against former President Trump. He suggests that ideological conflicts, particularly over tariffs and NATO disagreements, are driving a wedge between the U.S. and Europe. Medvedev predicts that despite Europe’s large economy, the U.S. will emerge victorious due to its superior economic and military strength. He also highlighted the growing divide between Europe's neo-globalist forces and Trump’s conservative, traditionalist movement, which is paving the way for a potential reconciliation with Russia. #DmitryMedvedev #TrumpVsEurope #QuietWar #USEuropeanTensions #NATODisagreements #USRussiaRelations #EconomicStrength #MilitaryEdge #GlobalPowerShift #TrumpConservatism #USPolitics #NeoGlobalism #EuropeanUnion #WesternEurope #Geopolitics #MedvedevSpeaks #PoliticalConflict #TrumpSupporters #USForeignPolicy #USMilitaryStrength #TrumpAndRussia #EuropeanTensions #PoliticalShift #USVictory #USPrevails #GlobalInfluence #TariffWars #EUUSRelations #MoscowEvent #KnowledegeFirst #RussiaPolitics Also Read Trump Declares Columbus Day Will Remain Unchanged Amid Indigenous Peoples Day Recognition :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/trump-reinstates-columbus-day-amid-indigenous-peoples-day-debate-011-4136967.html?ref=DMDesc Trump Considers Temporary Exemption from Auto Tariffs to Aid Car Manufacturers Amid Economic Challenges :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/trump-considers-temporary-exemption-auto-tariffs-011-4124041.html?ref=DMDesc Trump Dismisses General Tim Haugh from National Security Agency Amidst Congressional Concerns :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/trump-fires-general-tim-haugh-national-security-agency-011-4115013.html?ref=DMDesc ~GR.124~HT.408~ED.103~

BIG War In South China Sea: China Dares To Track Stealth U.S submarines | New Quantum Drone In Sea

Chinese scientists have unveiled a powerful quantum sensor that could tip the balance in undersea warfare. Tested offshore, the drone-mounted system achieves picotesla-level precision, tracking submarines and mapping seabed resources with unprecedented accuracy. The breakthrough overcomes limitations of traditional magnetometers, offering omnidirectional detection even in low-latitude blind zones like the South China Sea. Using coherent population trapping in rubidium atoms, the new Chinese sensor rivals NATO’s MAD-XR at a fraction of the cost, potentially reshaping anti-submarine operations across key strategic waters. #China #QuantumSensor #UnderseaWarfare #SubmarineDetection #SouthChinaSea #DefenseTechnology #QuantumBreakthrough #MilitaryInnovation #ChineseMilitary #PLA #MaritimeSecurity #NavalWarfare #DroneTechnology #MADXR #AntiSubmarineWarfare #QuantumScience #RubidiumAtoms #CPTMagnetometer #GlobalSecurity #Geopolitics #SubmarineWarfare #SensorTechnology #UnderwaterSurveillance #DefenseNews #TechInnovation #ChineseNavy #Shandong #QuantumTech #SubmarineTracking #MilitaryBreakthrough
