An explosion at Japan’s Kadena Air Base in Okinawa injured four Japanese Self-Defense Force (SDF) personnel during WWII ordnance disposal on Monday. The blast occurred inside the U.S.-controlled base, though no American personnel were hurt. The injuries are not life-threatening. Japan’s 15th Brigade was handling unexploded ammunition at the time. Authorities have urged the public to avoid the area as investigations continue. Kadena, the largest U.S. airbase in the Asia-Pacific, plays a key strategic role near Taiwan.

In a sharp late-night post, Donald Trump called Chinese President Xi Jinping "very tough and extremely hard to deal with," reigniting tensions between the U.S. and China. The statement comes days after the Trump administration blocked key chip-design software, jet engine parts, and revoked visas for Chinese students over security concerns. Amid growing fears of conflict over Taiwan, Trump added he still “likes and respects” Xi—leaving analysts puzzled.

China has lashed out at U.S. Defence Secretary Pete Hegseth following his remarks at the Shangri-La Dialogue in Singapore, where he warned that China could imminently use military force against Taiwan. Beijing condemned the speech as provocative and divisive, accusing Hegseth of inciting bloc confrontation and pushing a Cold War mentality. China's foreign ministry dismissed the U.S. accusations as defamatory and asserted that only Washington deserved the label of a hegemonic power. The fiery exchange underscores growing regional tensions over Taiwan and the Indo-Pacific power balance.

During a heated press conference, Trump Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt stunned reporters by calling a question from journalist Jasmine Wright “stupid.” Wright had asked whether Trump supports peaceful protests at his upcoming birthday military parade. Leavitt initially affirmed Trump’s support for the First Amendment but then turned combative, accusing Democrats of tolerating unrest. The press room moment, caught on camera, left Wright visibly shocked and sparked criticism of Leavitt’s tone. The administration also addressed ongoing anti-ICE protests, boasting about recent arrests as tensions rise nationwide.

During a fiery White House press briefing, Fox News correspondent Alexandria Hoff pressed Trump Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt with a provocative question: “Does the president see himself as a king?” Hoff was referencing the upcoming “No Kings Day” protest planned for Trump’s birthday military parade, aimed at criticizing ICE raids and authoritarian optics. Leavitt, unfazed, dismissed the premise as “absurd” and reaffirmed Trump’s respect for the Constitution. She also slammed Democrats for politicizing American symbols and defended the parade as a “celebration of freedom, not royalty.”

Trump reportedly plans to send undocumented migrants—including Ukrainian war refugees—to Guantanamo Bay, a military facility infamous for holding terror suspects. The Biden-era program that offered sanctuary to Ukrainians fleeing war may be rolled back, with deportation or detention now on the table. Medical screenings for 9,000 detainees are underway ahead of transfers to Cuba. The move is part of Trump's broader immigration crackdown—targeting 3,000 arrests a day—and could revoke protections for 240,000 Ukrainians. The use of Guantanamo has sparked outrage due to its controversial history and lack of foreign government notification.
