Three civilian aircraft breached the airspace over Donald Trump's Mar-a-Lago resort in Palm Beach, Florida, prompting the North American Aerospace Defense Command (NORAD) to deploy F-16 fighter jets. The airspace violations occurred at 11:05 a.m., 12:10 p.m., and 12:50 p.m., with the planes escorted out after flares were deployed. Similar incidents have been reported in recent weeks. These breaches come amidst heightened security during Trump's visits, including prior violations in February 2025. No details were given on the reasons for the airspace incursions.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy met UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer in London, where they signed a £2.26 billion loan agreement to strengthen Ukraine's defense.

As Donald Trump pushes to end birthright citizenship, many foreign parents, particularly Brazilians, are rushing to the U.S. to secure American nationality for their children. Agencies like “Have My Baby in Miami” charge up to $23,000 for expectant mothers to give birth in Florida hospitals. Trump’s executive order revoking citizenship for children born to non-resident parents has been blocked by federal courts but could reach the Supreme Court. Despite visa restrictions, wealthy families view U.S. citizenship as a long-term investment. “There’s a window of opportunity right now,” said birth tourism agent Priscila Rodrigues. Legal battles over the policy continue.

Ukrainians expressed shock after Donald Trump and JD Vance's tense Oval Office meeting with President Volodymyr Zelensky, calling them "rude" and fearing U.S. policy shifts toward Russia.

Zelensky's approval rose to 65% as Ukrainians rallied around their leader. The failed minerals deal further strained Kyiv-Washington ties. "We need stronger European allies," Sovsun urged.
