US President Biden ‘considering’ dropping Assange charges
United States President Joe Biden says he is “considering” a request from Australia to drop the prosecution of Julian Assange.
The WikiLeaks founder has been indicted on 17 espionage charges and one charge of computer misuse over his website’s publication of classified U.S. documents relating to the Afghanistan and Iraq wars almost 15 years ago.
The Australian national was taken to Belmarsh prison in London five years ago, after being dragged out of the Ecuadorian embassy, where he stayed while fighting against being taken to the US.

The U.S. Pentagon and President Biden have strongly condemned the International Criminal Court's (ICC) decision to issue arrest warrants for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and former Defense Minister Yoav Gallant. The ICC's charges against the Israeli leaders, including crimes against humanity and war crimes, have sparked a wave of criticism from Israel and the U.S., with both sides rejecting the court's jurisdiction. The ICC's move follows Senate threats of sanctions against the court, adding further diplomatic tension.

The Biden administration has announced plans to forgive $4.7 billion in loans provided to Ukraine as part of a broader aid package. This move, aimed at supporting Ukraine's financial stability amid the ongoing war with Russia, has sparked debate in the U.S. Congress. While some lawmakers, including Senator Rand Paul, argue against the plan, it aligns with U.S. national interests and NATO's goals. The decision reflects the U.S.'s continued support for Ukraine's economic recovery and defense efforts.

Senate Democrats displayed growing internal division over US arms sales to Israel, with approximately one-third voting to block $1.097 billion in weapons transfers. Led by Bernie Sanders, these progressive Democrats highlighted humanitarian concerns in Gaza, challenging the Biden administration's stance. The votes revealed increasing tensions within the party regarding Israel's military campaign, though the resolutions were ultimately unsuccessful.

After Biden’s long range missile approval, now NATO allies are making significant moves in Ukraine, with Estonian Foreign Minister Margus Tsahkna calling for potential EU military deployment. The US has authorized Ukraine's use of ATACMS missiles to strike Russian territory, prompting immediate Ukrainian attacks on Bryansk. These escalatory actions near Russia's borders raise tensions and concerns about potential broader war before Trump's 2025 presidency.
