House rejects bid to curb Iran conflict, keeping Trump’s operations underway

The U.S. House voted 212-219 to reject a Democratic-backed war powers resolution that would have forced U.S. withdrawal from hostilities with Iran until Congress authorized military action, allowing the broader Trump-authorized air and naval campaign to continue despite partisan concerns and questions about clear objectives; the Senate had already rejected a similar measure, and Republicans argue the president was already empowered to act.

Estonia Reaffirms Ukraine Support, Rejects Territorial Concessions to Russia

Ministers Kristina Kallas and Liisa Pakosta backed a firm stance against yielding to Moscow and urged clarifications from Karis' office on his comments; Karis' remarks prompted wider discussion about how Estonia's policy is applied across government and parliament.

Trump's Potential Impact on Foreign Policy in a Second Term

As Donald Trump prepares for a potential second term as U.S. President, his foreign policy is expected to emphasize an "America First" approach, characterized by isolationist tendencies and skepticism towards international alliances like NATO. While there may be continuity with Biden's policies on China and the Middle East, Trump is likely to diverge significantly on issues such as NATO, immigration, and climate change. His administration plans to prioritize loyalty, potentially replacing career civil servants with political appointees, and may pursue mass deportations of undocumented immigrants.

European leaders are wary of Trump's protectionist policies and their implications for NATO and the EU.
