On today’s podcast:
(1) US forces completed a round of offensive strikes against Iran, according to a post on X by Central Command.
(2) The UK, France and Germany have launched a $50 billion NATO initiative to spur the development of long-range weapons without US involvement, aiming to close the gap in an area where Russia is well ahead.
(3) Greenland “should be controlled by the United States,” President Trump says ahead of a meeting with NATO leaders.
(4) Nigel Farage’s shock decision to quit as MP so he can fight again for the seat he won two years ago puts the poll-topping Reform leader back where he’s happiest: at the center of Britain’s attention.
(5) Marine Le Pen, France’s far-right leader for two decades, intends to make her fourth presidential run even after an appellate panel ordered her to wear an electronic-monitoring device when it upheld her conviction for misusing public funds.
