French President Emmanuel Macron may soon take a leading role in representing the EU’s interests in potential talks with Russia over the Ukraine conflict, according to a report by The Telegraph. While UK’s Prime Minister Keir Starmer has ruled out engagement, Macron is reportedly open to negotiation “when the time is right.” With Washington’s efforts ongoing and Trump hesitant, Europe’s "coalition of the willing" is eyeing Paris to spearhead talks. Moscow has denied receiving formal proposals. Tensions remain high as ceasefire violations continue and fears of NATO escalation grow.

In the largest protest since Trump’s return to office, LGBTQ+ activists joined thousands across all 50 U.S. states in the ‘Hands Off’ movement. Demonstrators rallied against mass deportations, healthcare cuts, anti-trans policies, and corporate favoritism under Trump and Musk. With over 1,200 rallies and support from 150 organizations, chants for democracy, equity, and transgender protections echoed from Seattle to Boston. Protesters accused Trump and Musk of hijacking public systems for private gain. The LGBTQ+ community, alongside civil rights groups and veterans, emerged as a leading force in this nationwide resistance.

Iran War: The US is moving Patriot PAC-3 and THAAD missile defense systems from South Korea to the Middle East, a major shift as tensions with Iran rise. This is the first known redeployment of USFK assets to another region. With stealth bombers, aircraft carriers, and aerial assets repositioned, the Pentagon aims to strengthen deterrence against Iranian threats. The move follows Trump’s ultimatum to Tehran over its nuclear program. Experts suggest this is either a prelude to conflict or high-stakes brinkmanship as missile forces in Iran go on high alert.

French PM Francois Bayrou has called out Donald Trump for interfering in France’s domestic affairs after the former US president urged Paris to “free” Marine Le Pen. Le Pen, convicted for misusing EU funds, was sentenced to four years in prison and banned from office. Trump labeled her a victim of political persecution. Bayrou warned of rising “illiberal” forces undermining democracy worldwide. As tensions rise, Trump’s remarks have sparked diplomatic unease ahead of France’s 2027 presidential race and fueled debates over foreign influence in sovereign judicial decisions.
