President Donald Trump defended Elon Musk amid Democratic backlash over his access to Treasury payment systems. During a press conference with Japan’s PM Ishiba, Trump dismissed concerns, calling Musk "not shy" and praising his efforts in uncovering government fraud. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent backed Musk, calling him the "greatest entrepreneur." Meanwhile, Democrats accuse Musk of having undue influence after reports surfaced that DOGE found payments linked to fraudulent groups. The controversy intensifies as Musk’s role in Trump’s administration grows.

US President Donald Trump and Japanese Prime Minister Shigeru Ishiba have declared that the disputed Senkaku Islands fall under NATO’s collective defense. The move heightens tensions with China, which claims the islands as its own. During their meeting, Trump also threatened tariffs on Japanese goods if the trade deficit isn’t balanced. Ishiba, seeking stronger ties, praised Trump’s leadership and pledged increased US investments and defense purchases. As Washington and Tokyo reaffirm their alliance, the growing geopolitical rift with Beijing adds uncertainty to regional stability.
