“British Deputy Prime Minister Angela Rayner resigned on Friday after saying she deeply regretted her mistake of underpaying property tax on a new home, in a damaging blow for her boss, Prime Minister Keir Starmer,” Reuters reports.

“President Donald Trump is expected to unilaterally reinterpret a 38-year-old arms control treaty to sell sophisticated ‘Reaper’ style and other advanced military drones abroad,” Reuters reports.

“The new interpretation would unlock the sale of more than 100 MQ-9 drones to Saudi Arabia, which the kingdom requested in the spring of this year and could be part of a $142 billion arms deal announced in May. U.S. allies in the Pacific and Europe have also expressed interest.”

Tom Nichols: “The leaders of Russia, China, and North Korea are not good men. They preside over brutal autocracies replete with secret police and prison camps. But they are, nevertheless, serious men, and they know an unserious man when they see one.”

“For nearly a decade, they have taken Donald Trump’s measure, and they have clearly reached a conclusion: The president of the United States is not worthy of their respect.”

“The Trump administration is expected to issue an executive order as early as Friday establishing a designation for state sponsors of wrongful detention, in a move that would allow the U.S. to punish countries that illegally detain U.S. nationals or take them hostage,” CBS News reports.

“Those governments will help us find these people and blow them up. They might do it themselves, and we’ll help them do it.”
