Good explainer here 👇 Bottom line (but read the whole thing anyway): “The goal of the Secret Service isn’t to prevent any incident at a high-profile event — it’s to prevent an incident that could harm the president” “So far, it appears the system worked as intended”

Are you rethinking the US relationship with NATO, possibly getting out? Trump: "It's certainly something that we should think about. I don't need Congress for that decision". Under 1250A of 2024 NDAA, the US president cannot “suspend, terminate, denounce, or withdraw” from NATO without Congress.
