• The Trump administration is discussing a potential restructuring of NATO leadership, including relinquishing the U.S. role as Supreme Allied Commander Europe, held by American generals since 1950.
• Republican lawmakers, including Senator Roger Wicker and Representative Mike Rogers, have strongly opposed the proposal, citing risks to U.S. deterrence and global security.
• European leaders are divided over peacekeeping strategies in Ukraine, with disagreements on troop deployments and alternatives like a UN-led mission being explored by France.
• President Trump’s Ukraine peace plan, which includes recognizing Russian control over Crimea and Donbas, has been criticized as appeasement by experts and former NATO officials.
• Despite a partial Russian truce on energy infrastructure, civilian targets in Ukraine continue to be struck, with further peace talks scheduled in Saudi Arabia.
