[Secretary Marco Rubio @SecRubio]

In my meeting with @SecGenNATO I underscored that the Alliance must unambiguously commit at the upcoming Ankara Summit to rapidly scale defense production, expand our transatlantic defense industrial base, and turn spending commitments into real warfighting capabilities. A stronger Europe means a stronger NATO.

[Daniel Fried @AmbDanFried]

Good fix by Trump & those who worked to reverse the initial bad call. Good for NATO security. Even better if stationing/rotation of US forces in Europe are based on solid plans, worked out with NATO & SACEUR, not politics.

Ho ricevuto questa mattina a Palazzo Chigi il Primo Ministro eletto dell’Ungheria, @magyarpeterMP, per un primo e proficuo confronto in vista del suo prossimo insediamento.

Uno scambio di vedute sui principali dossier bilaterali e sulle sfide che l’Europa è chiamata ad affrontare: dal rafforzamento della competitività del nostro sistema, alla gestione dei flussi migratori, fino ai principali scenari di crisi a livello internazionale.

La solidità delle relazioni tra Italia e Ungheria è forte e consolidata e intendiamo continuare a rafforzarla ulteriormente.

Time to face reality: the Hungarian electorate ousted the ruling power. The electoral system Fidesz introduced gave its opponent a two-thirds majority. Orbán established a one-man rule, tailored the campaign to himself, he is responsible for the defeat, he has to resign.

🕯He is considered one of the greatest Poles of the 20th century. 🗓21 years ago today, Pope John Paul II passed away.

One of many achievements of this second-longest-serving pope was his spiritual involvement with the fall of communism. His election in 1978 made a huge impact on Poles.

🇺🇸🇺🇦 General Cavoli: "Ukrainians are even better at using the Patriot than the Americans. In my opinion, this is a true success story. Frankly, at first I was a little skeptical that Ukrainians would be able to master the Patriot quickly. Now we're learning from the Ukrainians."

[Volodymyr Zelenskyy / Володимир Зеленський @ZelenskyyUa]

Arrived in Saudi Arabia. Important meetings are scheduled. We appreciate the support and support those who are ready to work with us to ensure security.

[Coffee House @SpecCoffeeHouse]

Could an agreement for Britain to join Europe’s defence fund ‘Security Action for Europe’ (Safe) be back on the cards?

Speaking in Paris yesterday, European Council president Antonio Costa suggested as much. ‘It could take some weeks, ‌months, but for sure, we will achieve an agreement with the UK on the Safe issue,’ he said.

Ukraine is expanding the battlefield without sending more soldiers into it.

A massive drone campaign is choking Russian logistics and tripling the “kill zone” behind the front line, making large areas deadly for Russian troops and equipment, Telegraph. 1/

Wow. Must watch.

Heckler shouts Free Palestine during German Chancellor Merz speech.

He confidently responds with

“WE STAND WITH ISRAEL” followed by powerful words.

Crowd erupts in applause!

He knows that “Free Palestine” is the new “Heil Hitler”
