| | | | WHAT WE'RE WATCHING | | 1. ๐ฌ๐ง A comedian was arrested for anti-trans posts. Graham Linehan, an Irish comedian and popular television writer, had previously posted, "If a trans-identified male is in a female-only space … make a scene, call the cops, and if all else fails, punch him in the balls." His arrest by British authorities was roundly criticized by conservatives on both sides of the Atlantic. | 2. ๐ต๐ฑ Poland's new nationalist president had a friendly meeting with Trump. Karol Nawrocki, just sworn into office last month, met with President Trump in the Oval Office. Trump promised that he would not remove US troops from Poland, and may even increase the number of troops. Poland, right on Ukraine's doorstep, has been fortifying itself for a future Russian attack. | 3. ๐บ๐ฆ Macron rallied Europe to secure future peace in Ukraine. At a Paris summit, French President Emmanuel Macron announced that 26 countries pledged to uphold any peace deal with Ukraine, even by deploying troops to deter Russia. Trump phoned in, urging Europe to cut Russian oil and squeeze China, but uncertainty remains over whether Washington would fully back the plan. | 4. ๐จ๐ณ China hosted Russian and Indian leaders for trilateral talks. The visit was the first by Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Russian President Vladimir Putin to China since the late 2010s. Chinese President Xi Jinping said they should all be "partners instead of rivals." Putin added that the American eagle looks left and right, but not south — implying the United States is ignoring India and the broader global south. |
