U.S. Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth on NATO burden-sharing and spending disparities at the NATO Defense Ministerial in Brussels, Belgium:
“We are very much committed to the NATO alliance and to our allies, but without burden-sharing, without creating the right set of incentives for European countries to invest, then we would be forced to attempt to be everywhere for everybody all the time. Which in a world of fiscal restraints…is just not reality…you have to spend more on your defense for your country on that continent.”
Secretary Hegseth has drawn fire for his comments yesterday that were seen by many as an abandonment of the European continent. Today, Hegseth made clear that no such abandonment was taking place, but should European partners fail to step up, the U.S. will not provide a conventional security umbrella indefinitely.

The Australian Department of Defense has announced an incident between a Royal Australian Air Force (RAAF) P-8A Poseidon maritime patrol aircraft patrolling over the South China Sea and a Chinese People’s Liberation Army Air Force (PLAAF) J-16 fighter aircraft. The J-16 deployed flares close to the P-8A that came within 30 meters (~100 feet) of the aircraft. The “unsafe and unprofessional” action of the Chinese aircraft mirrors those of Russian aircraft over the Black Sea in recent years and is not a new tactic employed by the Chinese. China claims the majority of the South China Sea inside its “nine-dash line, a series of unfounded territorial claims made by the Chinese that overlap the exclusive economic zones (EEZ) of a number of nations in the Western Pacific.

The Kremlin released the following statement after the phone meeting between Trump and Putin. In the statement, the Kremlin emphasizes—boldly—that "it is necessary to eliminate the root cause of the conflict."
For Putin, the "root of the conflict" is Zelensky's government, suggesting that in the upcoming negotiations, Russia will once again demand what it has sought since the start of the invasion: the removal of Zelensky's government and the installation of a more Russia-aligned administration.
According to Zelensky, Trump told him everything Putin said during their phone conversation today. He didn’t share any details but expressed enthusiasm about reaching a U.S.-mediated peace agreement.
