Italy and Starlink: What's at stake if a deal goes ahead?
Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni has said her government is in talks with several private companies including Elon Musk's SpaceX over the country's telecoms security system.
What consequences would a deal have if it went ahead?
After meetings in D.C., JD Vance joined Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni for an Easter lunch in Rome. Meloni, who praised her "fantastic" White House meeting, reaffirmed her support for Trump’s stance against "woke ideology." Trump, who has been critical of the EU, made an exception for Meloni, his only invited EU leader in January. Meloni is pushing for U.S. tariffs on the EU to be reduced, promising increased gas purchases and Italian investments in the U.S. Trump accepted her invitation to meet European leaders in Rome, but no date has been set.

Musk clashed with Polish Foreign Minister Radoslaw Sikorski in a heated online exchange over Starlink’s role in Ukraine. Musk, who has donated over 40,000 Starlink terminals to Ukraine since 2022, dismissed Sikorski’s claims that Poland funds the service at $50 million per year, calling him a “small man.”
Musk warned that Ukraine’s frontline would collapse without Starlink, calling it “the backbone of the Ukrainian army.” U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio defended Musk, arguing that without Starlink, Ukraine would have already lost the war.

Elon Musk has made a shocking statement, claiming that Ukraine’s entire front line would collapse without Starlink, highlighting its critical role in the war. He also expressed frustration over the ongoing conflict, calling it a "meat grinder" and warning that Ukraine will inevitably lose if the fighting continues. Meanwhile, reports suggest that the US might use Starlink access as a bargaining chip in negotiations over Ukraine’s critical mineral resources

The US has warned Ukraine that Starlink services could be shut down if Kyiv refuses a critical minerals deal. During a meeting with Trump’s envoy, Zelensky was reportedly pressured to give the US 50% ownership of Ukraine’s mineral wealth, which he rejected. Losing Starlink would be a major setback for Ukrainian forces. Trump and Musk have criticized Zelensky, calling him a dictator. Amid growing tensions, Trump is pushing for renewed talks with Russia while Ukraine seeks further military aid.

In a shocking move, Moldovan authorities have blocked Bishop Marchel of the Moldovan Orthodox Church from traveling to Jerusalem for the sacred Holy Fire ceremony, a pivotal moment for Orthodox Christians. Despite having all legal documents in order, Bishop Marchel and his fellow clerics were detained, searched multiple times, and stripped of their passports, missing the flight to Jerusalem. The move has sparked international outrage, with critics calling it politically motivated and a direct attack on religious freedom. The Russian Orthodox Church and lawmakers have condemned Moldova’s actions, while human rights organizations demand accountability. This unprecedented interference raises serious questions about the state of religious rights in Moldova.

Donald Trump has unveiled a visionary missile defense initiative, dubbed the "Golden Dome," aimed at fortifying the United States' defense against potential missile threats. Elon Musk’s SpaceX, in partnership with Palantir and Anduril, is emerging as a front-runner to take on a key role in this mega-missile defense project.
The ambitious plan includes deploying over 1,000 satellites equipped with advanced tracking technology to detect and intercept incoming missiles worldwide. SpaceX has proposed a "subscription service" model for the government to pay for access to the system, bypassing the need for outright ownership, although the proposal has sparked debates over the risks of relying on a private company for defense upgrades and pricing control.

A stunning legal twist: Congressman Greg Casar says Donald Trump has just 50 days to fire Elon Musk or face major consequences. The claim centers on federal conflict-of-interest laws and billions in subsidies given to Musk’s companies. With Trump’s ties to Tesla and SpaceX under fire, the countdown begins — and the stakes couldn’t be higher.
