Outgoing Dutch Prime Minister Mark Rutte looks likely to become NATO's next Secretary-General.
Romania's president, who was the sole challenger, has withdrawn his bid and is now endorsing Rutte to take over when Jens Stoltenberg stands down in October.
NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte met with President Trump to discuss the upcoming NATO summit, highlighting European and Canadian defense spending as a key topic. Rutte praised Trump for pushing NATO allies to invest more in their own security, promising that NATO will grow stronger and fairer with trillions in defense funding. When asked about the Russia-Ukraine war, Rutte remained cautious, noting that the ball is in Russia's corner and Trump's peace deal is still in the works. NATO unity and defense priorities remain at the forefront.

Former Russian President Dmitry Medvedev claims that Western European leaders are waging a āquiet warā 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 Europeās 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 Trumpās conservative, traditionalist movement, which is paving the way for a potential reconciliation with Russia.

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 NATOās MAD-XR at a fraction of the cost, potentially reshaping anti-submarine operations across key strategic waters.

A confidential U.S. peace proposal to end the Ukraine war was secretly presented by envoy Steve Witkoff to European officials in Paris on April 17, 2025. The leaked plan includes a permanent ceasefire, Ukraineās NATO exit, U.S. recognition of Crimea as Russian territory, and economic benefits for both Kyiv and Moscow. Ukraine would regain limited territory and receive financial aid, while Russia would benefit from lifted sanctions. The plan, labeled Washingtonās āfinal offer,ā signals a dramatic shift in U.S. diplomacy. Both Russia and Ukraine have yet to issue formal responses.
