Excerpt:

Prime Minister Mark Carney has announced that Canada will keep troops in Latvia through to 2029, as part of a mission to deter Russian aggression in Europe that has given Ottawa an outsized role in the transatlantic alliance.

“We must deter and fortify. And that is the way that we can provide true reassurance,” Carney said at a Tuesday news conference in Riga, flanked by Latvian Prime Minister Evika Silina.

Carney’s office says there are now 2,000 Canadian Armed Forces troops in Latvia as part of Operation Reassurance, which is Canada’s largest overseas mission. Canadian troops have been there since 2017 to strengthen the defence of Europe’s eastern flank and to deter Russian from invading Baltic countries, through what many call a “trip wire.”

Secretary of State Marco Rubio had a fiery exchange with a CBS reporter on Sunday, accusing her of pushing a “stupid media narrative” regarding Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelenskyy’s meeting today with U.S. officials.

On yesterday’s “Face the Nation” broadcast, host Margaret Brennan claimed that European leaders were joining Zelenskyy as backup to protect him from being “bullied into signing something away.”

Rubio pushed back hard, telling Brennan, “That is not true. But that’s not true, they’re not coming here tomorrow to keep Zelenskyy from being bullied.”

The party of war is apoplectic over the prospect of peace between Russia and Ukraine. The meeting was preliminary and productive, but it is soon to assess how formative it will be for an end to the war that Trump is pushing for. Roger Kimball: Trump said that he would rank their discussion as very good—”10 out of 10,” he said. He and Putin came to an agreement about a lot of issues. Some issues remained. “There’s no deal until there’s a deal,” Trump acknowledged when the summit concluded. “I will call up NATO in a little while. I will call up the various people that I think are appropriate, and I’ll, of course, call up President Zelensky and tell him about today’s meeting. It’s ultimately up to them.”

Ukraine’s President Volodymyr Zelensky can immediately end the Russian invasion “if he wants to” by accepting the terms being offered to him, U.S. President Donald Trump wrote ahead of European leaders descending on Washington en masse on Monday.

Volodymyr Zelensky will meet with President Trump at the White House on Monday and will be supported by the presence of a large delegation of European leaders who say they are determined to see Europe’s perspective on the Ukraine War imposed on peace talks. These talks come as comments from Brussels and Washington make clear a gulf exists between the European maximalist position on international law being in the driving seat, and President Trump’s push for ending the killing by gaining concessions.

President Donald Trump revealed on Sunday night that Russian President Vladimir Putin wanted their summit meeting to be held “anywhere” but the United States, saying it was “very hard” for Putin to make an appearance in Alaska for the high-stakes meeting.

Trump made the revelation in a Truth Social post on Sunday night, in which he took aim at the media over criticism of having Putin on U.S. soil for a summit that ultimately ended with no ceasefire or peace deal in the Ukraine war.

“The Fake News has been saying for 3 days that I suffered a ‘major defeat’ by allowing President Vladimir Putin of Russia to have a major Summit in the United States. Actually, he would have loved doing the meeting anywhere else but the U.S., and the Fake News knows this. It was a major point of contention!” the U.S. president said.

Raddatz Roots Against Trump Efforts To Achieve Peace In Ukraine– thefederalist.com

President Donald Trump met with Russian President Vladimir Putin on Friday in Alaska in a historic attempt to end the more than two-year war between Ukraine and Russia. Since Russia’s 2022 invasion, tens of thousands have died, while millions have been displaced. The Alaska summit marked the first serious step toward direct negotiations between Moscow and Kiev.

But for ABC News’ Martha Raddatz and the rest of the propaganda press, a Trump-negotiated peace itself was a problem. Instead of acknowledging the significance of Trump’s diplomacy, Raddatz spent her Sunday segment disparaging the president for daring to treat Putin like a foreign leader who can choose to keep the war going rather than a pariah.

President Donald Trump seemed to crack on Truth Social Sunday as he condemned the media for reporting on his apparent pro-Russia stance following his Alaska summit with Vladimir Putin.

Instead of pursuing a ceasefire agreement as originally planned, Trump said he would try to convince Ukrainian leader Volodymyr Zelensky to concede land to the Kremlin in order to put an end to the more than three-year war.

Critics saw this outcome as an obvious bow to Putin, but the president disagreed.

“It’s incredible how the Fake News violently distorts the TRUTH when it comes to me. There is NOTHING I can say or do that would lead them to write or report honestly about me.” Trump wrote on social media.

English police are investigating pro-life advocate Isabel Vaughan-Spruce for a third time, accusing her of violating “buffer zones” outside an abortion facility by silently praying despite the fact that she has been acquitted twice of the same charges.

According to a news release from Alliance Defending Freedom (ADF) International, Vaughan-Spruce only learned of the third investigation when she submitted a formal complaint to the West Midlands police force, stating that police repeatedly harass and interrogate her as she silently prays every week outside an abortion facility. She also reminded the police that courts and the Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) have already declared that she cannot be charged with violating the buffer zone ordinance.

ADF International reported that the police denied her complaint due to the fact that the investigation against her is ongoing. She had not been informed of the new action against her.
