Four Women Exit Trump's Second-Term Cabinet in Three Months

In three months, Trump’s second-term cabinet has seen four women depart—Kristi Noem, Pam Bondi, Lori Chavez-DeRemer, and Tulsi Gabbard—leaving a smaller female contingent amid scrutiny of immigration policy, DOJ handling, and Iran-related decisions. The piece notes that while the second-term cabinet includes more women than his first term, non-White representation remains limited (about 17%), and Biden’s administration was more diverse. Remaining female appointees include Brooke Rollins, Linda McMahon, and Kelly Loeffler; rumors and investigations continue to swirl around other senior officials, and Gabbard left for personal reasons tied to family health and ongoing questions about U.S. wartime policy.

Magyar Moves to Dismantle Orban’s Network, Sets May Deadline for Loyalists

Hungary’s new prime minister Peter Magyar pledges to dismantle the Orban-era patronage network, ordering resignations of Orban-appointed figures in the judiciary and oversight bodies by May 31 and signaling constitutional changes if needed; the aim is to curb corruption and end the so-called 'opposition-proof' state. Early moves include pressure on allied figures, with reports of asylum-seeking associates like Poland’s Ziobro, and potential scrutiny of influential businessmen tied to the old regime, as Magyar and his allies seek to realign Hungary’s political and regional ties within the Visegrad framework.

Peru ministers quit as interim leader delays US F-16 deal amid political turmoil

Two Peruvian cabinet-level ministers resigned after interim President Balcazar postponed the decision to buy 24 Lockheed Martin F-16 jets, saying the next elected government should decide on such a large purchase. Defence Minister Carlos Diaz and Foreign Minister Hugo de Zela cited fundamental disagreement with delaying a national-security decision. The move comes amid Peru's political instability and a stalled presidential race, drawing US pushback and noting alternative offers from Dassault and Saab. The deal, approved in 2024, remains tied to the transition to the next administration.
