In a moment charged with geopolitical tension, U.S. President Donald Trump and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky came face-to-face at the funeral of Pope Francis — their first public encounter since a major diplomatic clash over military aid and wartime accountability. The high-stakes meeting at St. Peter’s Square unfolded under the somber backdrop of a global farewell to the beloved pontiff, but all eyes were on the two leaders as they exchanged cold glances amid a sea of mourners. The funeral, attended by world dignitaries, spiritual leaders, and political heavyweights, became an unexpected stage for a symbolic showdown, as tensions between Washington and Kyiv remain high over the direction of the war effort and future U.S. support. While both leaders paid tribute to the pope’s legacy, their presence under one roof hinted at deeper divides — and possible diplomatic fireworks to come.

Colonel Sheyla Baez Ramirez has been suspended from command at Fort McCoy after the base failed to display official portraits of President Trump, Vice President JD Vance, and Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth. The glaring omission sparked backlash when empty frames were spotted on the command wall. Defense officials launched an immediate investigation, and the Department of Defense later updated the wall, saying “we fixed it.” Secretary Hegseth confirmed the suspension on X. The military called it an “unusual oversight,” but refused to share further details about the decision.

Putin Iran treaty ratification marks a pivotal moment in Moscow-Tehran relations. Signed in January, the Comprehensive Strategic Partnership Agreement solidifies cooperation in national security, peaceful nuclear energy, and resistance to foreign sanctions. The move defies mounting pressure from Western powers, especially amid ongoing US-Iran nuclear tensions. With military threats from Trump and backdoor negotiations ongoing, Russia’s role in Iran’s nuclear ambitions deepens. As construction at Bushehr continues and uranium talks heat up, this alliance could reshape the balance of global diplomacy.

Russian President Vladimir Putin offered heartfelt condolences after the death of Pope Francis, calling him “a great man” and praising his efforts to build bridges with the Orthodox Church. Despite tensions over the Ukraine war and past criticisms—like the Pope warning Patriarch Kirill not to become “Putin’s altar boy”—Putin acknowledged Francis’ role in fostering dialogue and peace. The two leaders met three times and shared a complex relationship shaped by faith and geopolitics. The Russian Orthodox Church will send a high-ranking delegation to the funeral.

US President Donald Trump is reportedly shutting down all informal diplomatic channels with China, insisting on direct talks with President Xi Jinping as the US-China trade war deepens. According to Politico, Trump has not authorized White House delegates, hasn’t appointed a lead diplomat, and bypassed the Chinese embassy entirely. With tariffs soaring—145% on Chinese goods and 125% retaliation from Beijing—Trump is said to be using tariff negotiations to pressure allies into isolating China further. Beijing has warned it will retaliate against any such moves made at its expense.

Chinese President Xi Jinping’s visit to Malaysia marks a pivotal moment in Beijing’s bid to outmaneuver the U.S. in Southeast Asia. With Trump-era tariffs souring Washington's trade ties, Xi aims to convince Malaysia and ASEAN that China is the region’s best long-term partner. Touting deepened strategic ties, tech cooperation, and economic integration, Xi’s charm offensive leans into BRICS, RCEP, and de-dollarization plans. As Malaysia looks East, Beijing is pushing hard to anchor a new global order that trades in renminbi—and trades away American dominance.

President Donald Trump has launched his first-ever direct attack on Chinese President Xi Jinping, accusing him of using his Vietnam visit to "screw" the United States. Trump’s remarks come amidst the escalating tariff war with China, where he warned that the trade conflict might have far-reaching consequences for the U.S. Despite announcing a massive 145% tariff on Chinese goods, Trump is framing Xi’s trip as part of Beijing’s broader strategy to weaken U.S. interests globally. As tensions mount, experts predict that the war on tariffs could set the stage for a world-changing economic standoff.

As the U.S. slaps 145% tariffs on Chinese goods, President Xi Jinping touches down in Hanoi — and the world takes notice. In a high-stakes diplomatic mission, Xi kicks off his Southeast Asia tour by strengthening economic and strategic ties with Vietnam. With 40 potential deals on the table — from supply chains and rail infrastructure to artificial intelligence and aviation — China and Vietnam are signaling a major shift in regional dynamics. Meanwhile, Vietnam walks a delicate line: negotiating tariff relief from Washington while tightening controls on Chinese goods to avoid rule-of-origin fraud. Is Vietnam aligning with Beijing, or playing both sides in a new global power game? This video unpacks the trade tensions, diplomatic signals, and what Xi's visit could mean for the balance of power in Asia — and beyond.
