WATCH 🎥|| The Susie Wiles-Vanity Fair episode is a rare moment when the internal wiring of Trump’s second-term White House is briefly visible in public, and it shows a system heavily dependent on one unelected operator. In candid, on‑the‑record interviews, Wiles sketched a portrait of Trump as volatile and of his team as riven by rivalry, even as she positioned herself as the gatekeeper managing policy, politics and access.

Air Chief Marshal Richard Knighton told the RUSI think tank Britain had yet to feel the threat from Russia "as acutely as many of our allies in Europe" which had already moved to increase defence procurement and, in some cases, return to a form of national service. "The Russian leadership has made clear that it wishes to challenge, limit, divide and ultimately destroy NATO," he said in his annual lecture.
