It doesn't seem like Israel agrees with the Hamas agreement from Trump's "peace council", even though they themselves are members of it.

Americans who voted for Trump so that the US wouldn't start new wars, and for a better economy, must be disappointed.

The Islamic State is a major threat to Europe. According to the German newspaper Bild, the police have found a video on Abdul Ballout's mobile phone in which he pledges allegiance to the Islamic State. Last year, he also attempted to travel to Syria to join the Islamic State.

Ukraine has detected that Russian satellites are monitoring American bases in the Middle East, and that the satellite images are showing up in Iran. Trump's reaction: he'll ask Putin about it.

The perpetrator who drove into a crowd in Berlin has now been killed, and turns out to have ties to the Islamic State. Good police work that he was found so quickly.

Probably not everyone was laughing when Trump made a joke about running for president again in 2028. Fortunately, the US Constitution prevents him from being elected again, and surely the US must also be able to find some younger presidential candidates?

Once again, Trump is threatening the EU with tariffs because they fined Google for not complying with EU legislation. It will be expensive to be an American when they have to pay all those tariffs to buy goods from abroad.

Measles infections in the US reach the highest level in 35 years. That's what happens when you appoint an anti-vaxxer as Health Secretary.

So now Trump is imposing a 50% tariff on Canadian goods because he's mad that Canadians aren't buying American alcohol?

When Trump wouldn't leave the stage #Worldcup2026 #VM2026

It's a bit ironic that Donald Trump now has to give a gold medal specifically to Spain. One of the European countries he has had the greatest conflicts with. #VM2026 #WorldCup2026

Spain wins World Cup gold!

One of Putin's opponents, Boris Nadezhdin, has withdrawn from the upcoming Russian parliamentary election. He says that he has been "silenced" and "forced out of politics." Earlier this week, he was also labeled a foreign agent by Russian authorities.

“Russian recruits arriving on the front lines in Ukraine survive an estimated 20 to 30 minutes before they are killed or wounded”

It sure has become expensive to fill up the car with gas after Trump started the war in Iran. But on the other hand, we should be glad that we – unlike the Russians – can at least still get gas

New strategy from Trump and republicans until midterm election – call all other communists

The automotive industry in Europe is facing the loss of thousands of jobs, and some are now blaming the EU's mandate to replace fossil-fuel cars with electric vehicles. However, remember that it is primarily the European automotive industry itself that failed to develop its vehicles in a timely manner, unlike what has been done in China and the US. If we want to sell cars in Europe, we must build better cars, and that is also the solution to the current crisis.

Canada and Europe are boycotting the US when it comes to travel and purchasing goods. For example, wine exports to Canada have dropped to one-third, and Canadians are instead buying domestically produced wine. I wonder if that will change again once the trade war is over?

So with the release of the documents, Trump has shown that the Chinese are hacking to obtain Americans' personal information, but not that they have used this to influence an American election, nor has it been documented that there has been widespread election fraud. He is trying to get the electoral system changed to his advantage before the midterm elections, but it does not look like Americans are buying it.

Now that Trump has released a lot of documents, when will the rest of the Epstein files be released?

“A CNN investigation found that Trump has promoted more than 20 companies on his Truth Social account days after buying stock in those firms – at times announcing government actions that could benefit the companies he just invested in”
