US and Ukraine Security Deal
The US and Ukraine are planning to sign a 10-year security deal at the G7 summit, committing to providing military assistance to Ukraine in its conflict with Russia. The agreement aims to bolster Ukraine's defense capabilities and signal resolve against Russian aggression. However, the deal's future is uncertain if Donald Trump returns to the White House, as he has expressed skepticism towards Ukraine's situation.
Donald Trump's Capitol Hill Visit
Donald Trump is visiting Capitol Hill for the first time since his presidency, aiming to rally House and Senate Republicans for the upcoming presidential election. This marks his first public visit since the Capitol riot and his conviction in a New York case. Additionally, the Republican-controlled House voted to hold Attorney General Merrick Garland in contempt, though actual consequences are unlikely to follow.
