   Washington is considering expanding nuclear weapon deployments to Poland and the Baltic states as part of a broader reassessment of its European military posture.

6. Trump endorses Colombian presidential candidate De la Espriella

   US President Donald Trump announced his 'complete and total' support for Abelardo de la Espriella ahead of Colombia's 2026 presidential runoff. The endorsement introduces direct American political influence into a foreign election campaign.

The move drew attention given the diplomatic sensitivities between Washington and Bogotá under current President Gustavo Petro.

   "It is an honour to give him my support."

9. Iran strikes US bases, damage wider than admitted

   Satellite imagery reviewed by the BBC suggests Iranian attacks on US military installations caused significantly more damage than American officials have publicly acknowledged. Bloomberg reports that roughly 20 percent of the US Air Force's MQ-9 Reaper drone fleet was destroyed in the strikes. The scale of the losses points to a meaningful reduction in US surveillance and strike capacity in the region.

   "Iran destroyed 20 percent of the US MQ-9 Reaper drone fleet, according to Bloomberg."

10. Feijóo courts Junts and PNV for censure vote

    PP leader Alberto Núñez Feijóo is seeking support from Junts and the PNV to advance a motion of no confidence against Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez. Feijóo argues that 184 deputies already favour calling elections, and is appealing to smaller nationalist parties to reach the majority needed. The motion faces significant arithmetic obstacles, as both Junts and the PNV have historically been reluctant to back PP-led initiatives.

    "184 deputies are asking for elections — we can find a solution."
