US Ambassador Cuts Ties with Polish Speaker, Trump Launches Discount Drug Website, and Other News
Washington, D.C. - In a series of international and domestic developments, US Ambassador to Poland Tom Rose severed diplomatic ties with the Speaker of the Polish Parliament, while former President Donald Trump launched a new website aimed at reducing prescription drug costs for Americans. These events occurred alongside ongoing nuclear talks between Iran and the US, increased Iranian espionage concerns in Germany, and France opening a consulate in Greenland.
According to Euronews, Ambassador Rose made the unprecedented decision to immediately sever diplomatic contacts with Wlodzimierz Czarzasty, the Speaker of the Polish Sejm. The ambassador announced that the US would no longer communicate with Czarzasty, though the specific reasons for the severing of ties were not disclosed.
Meanwhile, former President Trump launched TrumpRx.gov, a website designed to lower prescription drug costs. The White House announced the website on Thursday, featuring over 40 medications from five pharmaceutical companies that reached pricing agreements with the administration, as reported by Euronews. Trump stated that users would "save a fortune" and that it was "so good for overall healthcare."
In other international news, Iran and the United States agreed to continue negotiations after holding indirect talks in Oman on Friday, focusing on Tehran's nuclear program. Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi and US Middle East envoy Steve Witkoff led their delegations in Muscat for talks mediated by Oman, according to Euronews. The talks occurred despite ongoing tensions, particularly over the Islamic Republic's crackdown on recent protests.
Germany is also facing increased scrutiny from Iranian intelligence services, with security officials and lawmakers warning of espionage and cyberattacks targeting the Bundeswehr, as reported by Euronews. The Iranian move, which Tehran framed as a countermeasure, creates a new threat environment for German military facilities and personnel.
Finally, France became the first EU country to open a consulate in Greenland, strengthening its diplomatic presence in the Arctic. The consulate opened in Nuuk on Friday, following a promise made by President Emmanuel Macron during his visit to the island last June, according to Euronews.
