NATO Allies Bows To Trump’s 5% Defence Spend Target Demand, Says US Defence Chief Hegseth
US Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth has said he is confident NATO allies will commit to Donald Trump’s bold demand of raising defence spending to 5% of GDP.
Speaking after a high-stakes meeting in Brussels, Hegseth noted there was near-consensus among member states, with many already surpassing the 2% benchmark.
The final commitment is expected during the Hague summit later this month.
NATO Secretary-General Mark Rutte also supported a split plan—3.5% for hard military power and 1.5% for broader security needs—calling it a historic turning point in alliance capability.

The Pentagon has confirmed the long-anticipated test date for Trump's billion-dollar "Golden Dome" missile defense system—just weeks before the 2028 election. Announced in May, Trump’s campaign-era promise aims to create a space-based shield against missile threats. The timing raises eyebrows, with defense experts questioning if this is military strategy or political theater. Led by Gen. Michael Guetlein and Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, the program faces tight deadlines, scaling challenges, and skyrocketing costs. With $25B already allocated, the pressure to deliver—both technically and politically—is mounting.

The Pentagon is facing yet another high-profile departure as Justin Fulcher, a senior advisor to Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, is set to step down after only six months on the job. Fulcher is now the sixth senior official to leave the department since Hegseth's controversial appointment, raising serious questions about the stability and leadership within one of the world's most powerful military institutions. The news, first reported by CBS News as a firing, was quickly disputed by the Pentagon, with spokesman Sean Parnell calling the claim "false" and unfair to Fulcher.
This wave of resignations comes amid a turbulent tenure for Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth. He has been at the center of multiple scandals, most notably a major security breach involving a Signal chat group discussing sensitive military operations, such as strikes in Yemen. In an unprecedented move, Hegseth reportedly added an editor from The Atlantic to this top-secret chat, a scandal that sent shockwaves through the defense community.
Justin Fulcher himself was no stranger to conflict within the Pentagon's walls. He reportedly stormed out of a heated meeting with the Pentagon's DOGE team in April and later claimed the Pentagon Force Protection Agency was actively searching for him. This incident allegedly infuriated Hegseth, who then personally confronted DOGE team lead Yinon Weiss for targeting his advisor. Despite the drama, Fulcher's departure statement was diplomatic, calling his time working with the Pentagon's personnel "incredibly inspiring." This video breaks down the full story behind the chaos at the Pentagon.

Microsoft admitted to using teams in China for technical assistance but assured that no China-based staff will be involved moving forward. ProPublica revealed that limited U.S. oversight left critical Pentagon systems vulnerable, with personnel lacking the expertise to manage them effectively.

In a move shaking global diplomacy, Moscow confirms that U.S. President Donald Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin will meet in the coming days. The bilateral summit, suggested by the American side, could be followed by a groundbreaking trilateral meeting with Ukraine’s Volodymyr Zelensky. Trump, who previously issued a 50-day ceasefire ultimatum to Moscow, is intensifying pressure with new sanctions.
Yet behind the friction lies a complex Trump-Putin relationship — part rivalry, part alignment. While Trump touts his peace credentials, critics warn of backchannel risks and NATO sidelining. The love-hate dynamic with Putin is at the heart of a bold, high-stakes diplomatic play. Will this lead to peace—or a new geopolitical storm?

In a move shocking European capitals, President Trump has announced a high-stakes trilateral summit with Presidents Vladimir Putin and Volodymyr Zelensky, aimed at ending the Ukraine war. What’s even more dramatic is who’s not invited — NATO. Sources reveal that Trump’s special envoy has already met Putin in Moscow, reigniting speculation over Trump’s controversial rapport with the Russian leader. Their love-hate dynamic — marked by admiration, sanctions, secret diplomacy, and fiery spats — is back at center stage.
Trump is betting that his personal influence over Putin can accomplish what global institutions have failed to do: end the war. The summit, already drawing skepticism from U.S. allies, may mark either a diplomatic triumph or a disastrous gamble. Trump’s critics say he’s legitimizing Putin again — while supporters hail the bold effort. Is this peace through ego, or the beginning of a new world order?

President Donald Trump dropped a major geopolitical bombshell, revealing that “very good talks” were held with Russian President Vladimir Putin, and strongly hinting that peace talks between Russia and Ukraine may be imminent. Speaking optimistically, Trump said there's “a very good chance” the war could be nearing its “end of the road,” sparking global speculation about a possible three-way summit.
Though no dates or details were confirmed, Trump’s tone suggested behind-the-scenes negotiations are already underway. The former president has long claimed he could end the war swiftly, and these new remarks have raised eyebrows across NATO, Kyiv, and Moscow. With the Russia-Ukraine war dragging into another brutal year, any sign of diplomatic breakthrough is being watched with bated breath. Trump's comments nowthrust him back onto the world stage as a potential broker of peace—or at least a disruptive wildcard in the fragile balance of global diplomacy.

In a stunning geopolitical twist, President Donald Trump has announced plans for a dramatic three-way summit with Russian President Vladimir Putin and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky — possibly within days. The meeting, which Trump disclosed during a private call with top European leaders, would mark the first in-person U.S.-Russia presidential summit in over four years. Sources reveal that the exclusive trio gathering would not involve NATO or European counterparts — sparking both shock and skepticism across allied capitals.
Trump, who believes in his unmatched personal diplomacy, insists that face-to-face talks are the only route to peace. While Zelensky hinted at cautious optimism, European leaders voiced doubts about Putin’s sincerity. Trump’s team confirmed that Russia requested the meeting and that his envoy, Steve Witkoff, has already met with Putin. The bold move echoes Trump’s past direct diplomacy tactics, like with North Korea's Kim Jong-un. Could this meeting really end the war?

In a major policy shift, Germany has suspended arms exports to Israel that could be used in Gaza, citing rising civilian casualties and humanitarian concerns. Chancellor Friedrich Merz emphasized Israel’s right to self-defense but said Berlin could not ignore the human toll of the conflict. The move marks a rare break from U.S. alignment and reflects mounting European discontent. As the war intensifies, Germany calls for humanitarian corridors and warns against West Bank annexation, signaling a shift in global patience with Netanyahu’s strategy.

A fiery confrontation reportedly erupted between Donald Trump and Benjamin Netanyahu during a call on July 28, with Trump shouting at the Israeli PM over Gaza starvation. Trump rejected Netanyahu’s claims that Hamas fabricated reports of hunger, stating bluntly: “You can’t fake that.” NBC reports Trump was shown evidence of starving children and rebuked Netanyahu’s denial. U.S. officials confirmed the aid crisis is real. While Israel’s PM calls the report “fake news,” pressure over the Gaza humanitarian disaster continues to escalate.

In a dramatic display of low-tech defense, Russian troops reportedly shot down six Ukrainian unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) using assault rifles during an attempted drone attack on a freight train in the Zaporozhye Region. The encounter, captured on video and shared by RT, shows soldiers firing directly at incoming drones — destroying them mid-air before they could reach their target.
The freight train was secured, and no damage was reported. According to Russian sources, this marks an increase in Ukraine’s drone attacks on civilian infrastructure — a trend Moscow says it will counter with any means necessary.

Video shared by RT shows the man escaping a draft van, prompting his family and locals to attack the officers. The brawl escalated into torn uniforms and chaotic resistance. Under martial law, men aged 18–60 are subject to conscription, and Ukraine has recently lowered the draft age amid military shortages.

The United States has abruptly paused deliveries of key military aid—air defence ammunition, missiles, and artillery shells—to Ukraine under Trump’s “America First” doctrine. Ukrainian MPs blasted this move, insisting “the United States is no longer our ally.” Mariana Bezuglaya and Solomiya Bobrovskaya accused the administration of sidelining Kyiv, even summoning the US chargé d’affaires to demand resumed support. President Trump told Zelensky at The Hague that US systems are “very hard to get” and prioritized for national and Israeli defense. Meanwhile, Pentagon spokesperson Sean Parnell confirmed a “capability review” to align aid with US interests. Kiev warns that this retrenchment could empower Russian advances toward Dnipro and Sumy, diminishing Ukraine’s defence. Moscow, unburdened, claims strategic initiative on the frontline. The aid suspension represents a major shift in US foreign policy and risks weakening Ukraine’s resistance as the war grinds on.

At NATO’s 2025 summit in The Hague, U.S. President Donald Trump hijacked the global stage — demanding 5% defense spending, mocking Iran and Israel as “kids in a schoolyard,” and claiming NATO leaders secretly praise him.
But the real shock? NATO Secretary-General Mark Rutte calling Trump a “truly extraordinary peacemaker” — even repeating the bizarre line:
“Daddy, you’re my daddy.”
European diplomats were stunned, embarrassed, and silent — as Trump turned a strategic summit into a personal victory lap.
Critics say the event was scripted to feed Trump’s ego, not focus on Ukraine, Iran, or NATO’s long-term survival.
So… is NATO collapsing under political flattery? Or is Trump just reshaping it on his own terms?

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has issued a brutal call for justice, demanding Russian President Vladimir Putin be tried as a war criminal for the 2022 invasion of Ukraine. Speaking before the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe, Zelensky signed a landmark accord to establish a special tribunal to prosecute top Russian officials for crimes of aggression. Zelensky didn’t hold back: “The Hague is waiting. Hunt every war criminal – start with Putin.” The move sends a powerful signal to Moscow – that international justice is coming, and accountability will not be avoided.
Will Europe and the international community back the tribunal? And how will Russia respond to this unprecedented legal offensive?
Watch the full report and analysis. Justice is no longer a question — it’s a promise.

European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen is facing intense criticism after allegedly caving to Donald Trump’s aggressive trade demands out of fear that the U.S. might slash military support to Ukraine or withdraw troops from Europe. According to the Sunday Times, von der Leyen accepted a harsh 15% tariff on most EU exports during a visit to Trump’s golf course in Scotland—scrapping a counter-tariff plan her officials had prepared.
Brussels also pledged $600 billion in U.S. investments and $750 billion in American energy purchases. Leaders like Macron and Orban slammed the deal, with the latter claiming Trump “ate her for breakfast.” Backlash is growing in the EU, where von der Leyen faces rebellion over military spending, vaccine scandals, and dwindling parliamentary support. With Trump’s “posture review” looming, the EU’s strategic future hangs in the balance. Critics say this may be von der Leyen’s final chance to recover politically.

Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban has issued a chilling warning: Ukraine’s potential EU membership could drag Hungary and the entire Eastern European region into war. Speaking bluntly, Orban said Ukraine’s entry would turn Hungary into a battlefield, risking the lives of young Hungarians and destabilizing regional peace. Despite Ukraine’s 2022 EU candidacy and Brussels pushing for 2030 accession, Hungary, Poland, and Slovakia have voiced serious opposition, citing security, financial, and political consequences.
Orban also slammed the EU's seven-year budget proposal, claiming it's designed to fund Ukraine’s membership and could devastate the bloc. Hungary has already blocked several EU military aid packages to Kyiv and insists on a ceasefire. A recent referendum showed 95% of Hungarians oppose Ukraine’s EU entry. With mounting pressure from Brussels, Orban’s words now echo across a fragile Europe—will Ukraine’s EU dream come at the cost of continental peace?

The EU-China summit in Beijing ended early as tensions soared over China's deepening alliance with Russia amid the Ukraine war. Despite efforts to focus on trade, climate change, and rare earth supply cooperation, the shadow of Moscow loomed large. European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen warned that Beijing's refusal to distance itself from Russia is now the main stumbling block in EU-China relations.
Chinese President Xi Jinping countered with calls for multipolar cooperation and downplayed Western concerns. While there was some progress on rare earth mineral exports and climate action, trade imbalances and mutual investigations remain flashpoints. The summit reflected a growing unease in Europe over China’s geopolitical positioning and its reluctance to leverage influence over Russia. Despite efforts to build trust, Brussels made it clear: Beijing’s stance on Ukraine will define the future of their relations. Dialogue continues, but the cracks are widening as global fault lines deepen.
