US Secretary of State Rubio says Germany is a 'tyranny in disguise' after AfD verdict
The decision to label the AfD as "right-wing extremist" is straining US-German relations.
The Trump administration has previously criticised the behaviour of European governments towards right-wing populist, anti-immigration parties.

Federal court halts Trump administration’s deportation flight to South Sudan, igniting a fierce battle over presidential authority and U.S. foreign policy. Secretary of State Marco Rubio warns the court order causes “irreparable harm” and threatens diplomatic relations with key African nations. The Department of Justice is pushing back, calling for judicial intervention to restore President Trump’s full Article II powers. This escalating legal conflict exposes deep tensions between the judiciary and the executive branch over immigration enforcement and international diplomacy.

The Trump administration has fired over 100 National Security Council (NSC) staffers in a surprise Memorial Day shake-up, reportedly aimed at dismantling what insiders call the “Deep State.” Employees received just 30 minutes to vacate offices, affecting major directorates including Ukraine and Indo-Pacific. Acting NSA Marco Rubio is spearheading the effort to streamline policy control, slashing NSC staff from over 300 to just 50. Officials say the move reduces bureaucracy and restores NSC’s original purpose. This is among the most sweeping reorganizations of Trump’s second term so far.

In a stunning reversal of longstanding U.S. foreign policy, former President Donald Trump has lifted key sanctions on Syria, ending years of crippling economic isolation. The move comes as part of Trump’s promised Middle East shift, following the fall of Bashar al-Assad and the rise of a new interim government in Damascus led by Ahmed al-Sharaa — a former rebel commander.
The U.S. Treasury and State Department jointly announced a sweeping waiver of the Caesar Syria Civilian Protection Act, unlocking billions in potential investment and opening Syria’s oil, electricity, and financial sectors to international engagement. Secretary of State Marco Rubio declared the relief vital to restoring basic services like water, energy, and sanitation.

In a tense Senate exchange, U.S. Senator Marco Rubio defended the U.S. support for Israel while addressing concerns raised by Senator Jeff Merkley about the ongoing humanitarian crisis in Gaza. Merkley challenged the strategy behind the flow of aid to Gaza, questioning the U.S.'s stance on Israel's tactics. Rubio responded firmly, emphasizing the importance of eliminating Hamas to secure a peaceful future for the people of Gaza. The heated discussion escalated as Merkley presented a shocking "before and after" poster depicting the devastating impact of the ongoing conflict. Watch this explosive moment in the Senate and see how the U.S. government's stance on Gaza is being fiercely debated.

U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio issued a stark warning during recent remarks on Capitol Hill, stating that Syria’s transitional authority could collapse within weeks without urgent U.S. support. Rubio argued that failure to engage could lead to a full-scale civil war and the disintegration of Syria, sparking regional instability and humanitarian catastrophe. With echoes of past interventions and warnings of “epic” consequences, Rubio’s comments have sparked major debate. What does this mean for U.S. foreign policy and the future of Syria?

Friedrich Merz has secured the chancellorship of Germany in a dramatic second-round vote, overcoming a shocking first-round defeat earlier in the day. With 325 votes in his favor, Merz surpassed the required 316 majority, averting a constitutional crisis. His unexpected first-round loss, which marked the first time in postwar history a chancellor candidate failed to win, had sent shockwaves through German politics. The far-right Alternative for Germany (AfD) has expressed outrage at Merz’s victory, demanding his resignation and calling for fresh elections.

In a stunning and unprecedented setback, Germany's conservative leader Friedrich Merz has failed to secure the majority needed to become chancellor in the first round of parliamentary voting — missing by just six votes. The defeat marks the first time since World War II that a chancellor candidate has fallen short on the initial ballot. As political uncertainty grips Berlin, coalition talks intensify and fresh elections loom as a possibility. The failed bid comes amid economic stagnation, the far-right AfD’s rise, and global pressure on Germany’s next leader.

Germany’s intelligence agency has officially labeled the Alternative for Germany (AfD) party as “extremist,” allowing deep surveillance and communications interception. The AfD, which placed second in Germany’s recent elections, condemned the move as a politically motivated attack on democracy. U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio and Elon Musk both blasted the decision, calling it authoritarian. The BfV defends its ruling, citing the party’s anti-migrant rhetoric. This explosive development deepens the rift over free speech, nationalism, and immigration in Europe—and sends shockwaves across transatlantic politics.

Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov has announced a second round of peace talks with Ukraine, proposed for June 2 in Istanbul. Moscow plans to present a formal memorandum outlining its "vision for peace" and will offer clarifications during the talks. The Russian delegation, again led by Vladimir Medinsky, hopes for international backing. However, Ukraine’s participation remains uncertain, especially after receiving strong military and diplomatic support from Germany. With tensions high, whether this new round yields progress remains to be seen.

Russia has issued a sharp rebuke to Germany, invoking its Nazi past and warning against its large-scale rearmament and NATO’s expansion. Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov called the military buildup near Russia’s borders "alarming," accusing Germany of fueling instability. As Berlin passes a $550B military fund and lifts missile restrictions with allies, Moscow warns of dire consequences. Lavrov also reignited rhetoric about “denazification,” framing Germany’s actions as provocative amid high-stakes talks between Zelensky and German Chancellor Merz.
