NATO announced it would shift two Joint Force Commands from U.S. to European leadership in the coming years, as President Trump continued to press for increased European contributions to defense, according to a statement released ahead of a meeting of defense ministers. Simultaneously, Russian border regions faced power outages due to Ukrainian strikes on energy infrastructure, as reported by regional governors. Elsewhere, former President Donald Trump shared renderings of a new ballroom, slated for future presidential inaugurations, while a 14-year-old girl described being zip-tied during an ICE raid in Idaho. The Dow Jones also experienced significant growth since 1982, according to a recent analysis.
The shift in NATO command structure is part of an effort to more equitably share responsibility within the alliance, with European allies taking on greater leadership roles, according to a CBS News report. The U.S. would maintain the role of Supreme Allied Commander Europe (SACEUR), emphasizing its commitment to NATO command and control. The Trump administration's National Defense Strategy had previously emphasized the importance of allies taking primary responsibility for European defense.
In Russia, governors of the Belgorod and another unnamed region reported sustained power outages due to Ukrainian attacks on energy infrastructure, as detailed by ABC News. Vyacheslav Gladkov, the governor of the Belgorod region, stated that power and heating outages had forced hundreds of people to rely on "heating points." The attacks occurred in the run-up to the fourth anniversary of Moscow's full-scale invasion of Ukraine.
Former President Trump posted renderings of his "Great Ballroom" on social media, stating it would be used for future presidential inaugurations, according to ABC News. The construction, on the former site of the demolished East Wing, was described as being on budget and ahead of schedule.
Meanwhile, a CBS News report detailed an incident in Idaho where a 14-year-old U.S. citizen, SueHey, described being zip-tied during an ICE raid. The raid, which occurred at a community horse racing venue, led to the detention of 105 undocumented immigrants. Sheriff Kieran Donahue, who participated in the raid, initially rejected allegations of zip-tie use but later acknowledged photographic evidence. "God bless her. I'm sorry she went through that," Donahue said.
Finally, a Fox News analysis highlighted the significant growth of the Dow Jones since 1982, when it hit a low of 800. The analysis noted that U.S. stocks have grown substantially, representing a period of significant wealth creation.
