#Trump & other world leaders are in Evian-les-Bains, a French spa town [nice work if you can get it 🙄], for the 3-day #G7 summit, where a *tentative* deal to end the #IranWar has been a prominent topic thus far. The leaders have held challenging discussions about ending #Russia’s #war in #Ukraine & will address the #MiddleEast crisis as the summit continues.

#Trump’s “version” has nothing to do with reality. This — once again — is most likely about #MarketManipulation. Let’s see what tomorrow brings before raising the peace flag. Just sayin.

…The precise nature of the cuts remains secret, but media reports in Germany & the #US suggest that an aircraft carrier with its support group of warships & aircraft as well as a submarine would leave the European theater. Aerial refueling planes & dozens of fighter jets would no longer be available.

All are in short supply in #Europe, & it’s unclear where they might be found in a hurry.

#NATO weighs options to defend #Europe as the #US plans for conflicts elsewhere

European countries & Canada had waited impatiently for over a year for the #Trump administration to detail its plans after it warned that Europe is no longer a top US #security priority. They knew cuts were coming, but not how big, fast or what kind.
