Mikhail Kavelashvili, a former Manchester City footballer, has been elected as the new president of Georgia, with over 200 MPs backing his candidacy.
This marks a significant shift as Georgia's presidential elections have traditionally been held by popular vote.
However, Kavelashvili’s appointment has sparked protests from the opposition, accusing the ruling party of undermining democracy.
As Kavelashvili steps into office, the country faces growing tension between pro-EU opposition and the ruling Georgian Dream party, further fueling political unrest.
Will Kavelashvili’s presidency bring stability or deepen the divide in Georgia?

In a bold rebuke of NATO dynamics, US Secretary of State Marco Rubio has called out European allies for falling short on defense spending. Labeling them “junior partners,” Rubio pushed for a drastic hike—up to 5% of GDP—to maintain NATO’s credibility. At his first NATO foreign ministers meeting, he reassured US commitment but demanded others pull their weight. Echoing this, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth warned Europe that US protection is no longer guaranteed unless NATO nations step up. The upcoming June summit will directly address these simmering tensions.

China is ramping up its trade war rhetoric with the U.S., urging President Trump to remove sweeping tariffs if the dispute is to be resolved. The Chinese Commerce Ministry emphasizes the need for "extreme scenario thinking" to manage trade risks as tensions rise. Despite claims of active talks from the Trump administration, China denies any negotiations are ongoing. Meanwhile, retaliatory measures continue, including China's refusal to send Boeing planes back and imposing a 125% tariff on U.S. products. The standoff shows no signs of easing as both sides dig in.
