Friedrich Merz is set to become Germanyâs new chancellor after his CDU/CSU bloc secured 28.5% votes, defeating Olaf Scholzâs SPD. Merz, a longtime conservative leader, vows to revive Germanyâs economy and impose stricter immigration policies. His political career saw setbacks under Angela Merkel, but he staged a strong comeback in 2022. With AfD securing 20.7% votes, coalition talks are crucial. Born in 1955, Merz has a legal background and extensive experience in finance. His next challenge? Forming a stable government to lead Germany through economic and political challenges.

Germanyâs famous Rose Carnival parades in Cologne and DĂŒsseldorf took political satire to the next level, featuring giant floats mocking world leaders like Donald Trump and Vladimir Putin. The parade also took aim at the far-right AfD party, the Ukraine war, and even the Catholic Church, sparking backlash. While many celebrated the bold satire, others found it controversial. Security was heightened due to recent terror attacks, but revelers still flooded the streets in massive numbers. Is this fearless satire or pure provocation?

Top Ukrainian officials made a surprise trip to Paris, pushing the U.S. for a tougher stance on Russia after failed ceasefire efforts. Their visit comes as Donald Trump's envoys, including Marco Rubio, meet with European leaders. With Ukraine accusing Trump of appeasing Moscow, tensions have reached a new peak. France, Germany, and the UK are pressing for action after deadly attacks on civilians in Sumy. Trump, frustrated by both sides, blamed Zelenskyy for provoking the warâraising alarms across Europe. A new security framework may be on the table, but peace remains distant.

Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov has raised alarms at the Antalya Diplomacy Forum, claiming that the Euro-Atlantic partnership led by Germany, France, and the United Kingdom is setting the stage for a new war. Lavrov slammed the failure of these countries to maintain stability and security, instead accusing them of inflaming tensions and militarizing Europe, despite its economic decline. He warned that Russia would not ignore actions that threaten its interests, while maintaining that Russia does not seek to threaten anyone.

A U.S. appeals court judge has made a shocking comparison, stating that Nazis during World War II were given more rights to contest their removal from the U.S. than Venezuelan migrants deportation under the Trump administration. The heated court hearing questioned whether deported Venezuelans had any chance to challenge their alleged gang affiliations before being forcibly sent to El Salvador. With Trump defending his sweeping executive powers and the Biden administration facing backlash, this case is turning into a major legal battle. Should due process apply to all, or is national security justification enough?

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 Muskâs 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.

Donald Trump has defended his sweeping new tariffs, urging countries unhappy with U.S. trade levies to stop doing business altogether. Calling the tariffs âappropriate,â Trump brushed aside stock market dips and claimed his policies were making America âstrong.â While pausing new duties for 90 daysâexcept for Chinaâhe insisted that a 10% tariff would be the new baseline. Trump also boasted about global reliance on the U.S. dollar and said foreign governments were desperate to negotiate. Markets saw some rebound after his walk-back announcement on baseline tariffs.
