DOJ subpoenas NYT journalists over Air Force One security reporting

The U.S. Justice Department subpoenaed four New York Times reporters—Julian Barnes, Eric Lipton, Tyler Pager and Eric Schmitt—to testify before a Manhattan grand jury next week in connection with an alleged criminal matter tied to their reporting on security concerns surrounding a Qatar-donated Air Force One. The subpoenas, reportedly delivered to reporters’ homes, come after Times coverage of Secret Service concerns and a request from an FBI official not to publish certain details; the subpoenas were issued by SDNY U.S. Attorney Jay Clayton.

Prosecutors say he traveled from Washington state to scope the National Guard contingent near the White House.

Trump’s NATO trip ends with a jet-switch: old Air Force One first, Qatar-gifted jet later

Trump switched aircraft on the way back from the NATO summit in Turkey, flying first on the older Air Force One and then taking the Qatar-donated Boeing 747 for the remainder of the trip home. He denied security concerns drove the early switch, even suggesting Iran could have targeted him; the Qatar jet is said to lack some advanced security tech of the prior planes.

Secretary of State Marco Rubio invited senior ministers from more than 60 countries to Washington to discuss what the Trump administration calls the resurgence of transnational far-left terrorism, but several U.S. and European officials are unsettled by the focus on left-wing extremism and some allies have declined to attend, raising concerns about politicizing counterterrorism.

Beijing mulls overseas-access limits on China's top AI models

Reuters reports Beijing has held talks with Alibaba, ByteDance, and Z.ai about potentially restricting overseas access to China’s most advanced AI models, including those not yet released. Led by the commerce ministry and the national planning body, the discussions explored whether to impose limits on both closed-source and open-weight models, raise penalties for AI theft under national-security laws, and tighten funding for domestic AI startups. There is no final decision and details on how such restrictions would work remain unclear, but the move would aim to keep homegrown AI within China and could raise costs for international users and affect global AI markets if applied to future models.
