According to reports earlier today from the Greek newspaper Dimokratia, U.S. President Donald J. Trump has ordered the end of the American military presence in Alexandroupoli, Greece; including the shutdown of a major base near the Port of Alexandroupoli, which has been used as a “key logistical hub” for U.S. and NATO operations in Southeastern Europe. Greek media further claimed that its closure was ordered following a joint request from Russian President Vladimir Putin and Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan. U.S. President Trump was asked about this earlier while meeting with French President Macron, to which he seemed confused asking for clarification from Secretary of State Rubio and Defense Secretary Hegseth, who stated that the reports were untrue.

Reuters reporter @idreesali114 asked U.S. Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth earlier why he decided to choose an under-qualified retired lieutenant general to be the next Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff (CJCS), referring to U.S. Air Force three-star general Dan Caine, who does not fit several of the qualifications usually required of the CJCS, including being actively in the military and being a four-star officer, thus requiring him to receive a waiver.

Secretary Hegseth responded with, “I’m gonna choose to reject your unqualified question.”

recent draft of the Deal, significant changes have been made which appear to favor Ukraine, including stating that the U.S. expresses a desire to see Ukraine remain “free, sovereign and secure,” though it still does not specify any kind of kind of security or military guarantees that have been requested by Zelensky. The Deal still calls for the creation of a “Reconstruction Investment Fund” which Ukraine would funding through 50% of all revenue from the extraction of minerals, oils and gas, however the demand that Ukraine continue to contribute until the fund reaches $500 billion has been dropped as well as a stipulation that the fund be 100% controlled by the United States; with a section stating, “The Government of the United States of America intends to provide a long-term financial commitment to the development of a stable and economically prosperous Ukraine - so as to invest in projects in Ukraine and attract investments to increase development.” Lastly, the draft contains a provision on the development of mining projects in what the text calls territories “temporarily occupied by the Russian Federation, in the event such areas are de-occupied,” which is where much of Ukraine’s mineral wealth is located.

U.S. President Donald J. Trump on Monday, expressed support for reviving Phase 4 of the Keystone Pipeline System, also known as Keystone XL. The Pipeline, approved during President Trump’s First Term, was set to run from the Oil Fields of Hardisty, Alberta to Steele City, Nebraska massively increasing the transfer of Crude Oil between Canada and the United States. However, in 2021 despite protests from the Canadian Government, the Biden Administration pulled approval for the Pipeline, for what they claimed were “Environment Concerns” leading the Pipeline to be canceled by TC Energy. President Trump in a Post tonight on Truth Social, urged TC Energy to resume planning and construction of the Pipeline, with him stating, “The Trump Administration is very different (from the Biden administration) - Easy approvals, almost immediate start! If not them, perhaps another Pipeline Company. We want the Keystone XL Pipeline built!”
