In today's episode, we analyze the Trump administration's radical new 'America First' National Security Strategy, which signals a retreat from global leadership, pressures European allies to fund their own defense, and reorients US focus toward the Western Hemisphere. Our second deep dive examines the US-brokered peace deal between the Democratic Republic of Congo and Rwanda, contrasting the polished diplomatic ceremony in Washington with the grim reality of continued fighting and displacement on the ground. We also cover the day's top global headlines, including Russian President Vladimir Putin's strategic visit to India, Netflix's landmark acquisition of Warner Bros. Discovery, and the EU's first major fine against Elon Musk's X.
