US, Europe Clash in Munich; Japan Wins Gold

U.S. and Europe Diverge at Munich Security Conference; U.S. Secretly Deporting Asylum Seekers

MUNICH, GERMANY - The 62nd Munich Security Conference concluded with a noticeable shift in transatlantic relations, as European leaders signaled a desire for greater independence from the United States, according to NPR News. Simultaneously, the U.S. is reportedly deporting asylum seekers to Cameroon, often in defiance of U.S. courts, as reported by Time.

At the conference, U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio delivered a keynote speech, but the event was marked by a sense of divergence. Last year's lecture on free speech and democracy from Vice President Vance had already shocked many European leaders, setting the stage for a shift.

Meanwhile, the U.S. has been sending migrants fleeing war or persecution to Cameroon, according to a report in Time. These individuals, who are not from Cameroon, are being offloaded there in secret, and can only leave the state-run facility if they agree to return to the countries they fled. A Senate oversight report disclosed that Washington has already paid $32 million in payments to third-country hosts. The State Department declined to comment to the Times.

In other news from the sports world, Japan secured gold in pairs skating at the Milan Winter Olympics, despite concerns about the ice conditions at the Milano Ice Skating Arena, according to Time. Riku Miura and Ryuichi Mihara's flawless routine secured their victory.

Also at the Olympics, freeskier Eileen Gu, representing China, won her second silver medal of the games. Despite not defending her big air title from Beijing, Gu, at 22, now owns more Olympic medals than any other female freestyle skier ever, according to Time.

Finally, Americans are spending less of their income on food than almost ever, according to Vox. Despite this, many Americans don't feel this way.
