Netanyahu, Trump to Meet as Iran Tensions Escalate
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu arrives in Washington today for what the White House is calling a critical meeting with President Trump, with Iran's nuclear program and regional military posture dominating the agenda. The meeting comes as intelligence assessments indicate Iran has accelerated uranium enrichment to near-weapons-grade levels at its Fordow facility.
Both leaders will also attend the funeral of Sen. Lindsey Graham, whose unexpected death last week has sent shockwaves through Washington's national security establishment. Graham had been a key architect of U.S.-Israel strategic coordination and a leading voice for confronting Iranian aggression.

Germany Arms EU for Trade Confrontation With Beijing
Berlin is quietly building a policy arsenal for what officials privately describe as an inevitable trade conflict with China, preparing tariff packages and investment restrictions that would mark Europe's most aggressive economic posture toward Beijing in decades. The German Finance Ministry has drafted retaliatory measures targeting Chinese electric vehicles, solar panels, and advanced manufacturing—sectors where Beijing's state subsidies have decimated European competitors.
The real challenge isn't the weaponry but the coalition. Any EU-wide action requires unanimity among 27 member states, and Hungary, Greece, and Portugal have already signaled resistance to measures that might jeopardize their Chinese investment relationships. Germany's calculations suggest the window for coordinated action is closing as individual countries cut separate deals with Beijing.

Trump Revives Fauci Attacks After Diary Surfaces
President Trump unloaded on Dr. Anthony Fauci Tuesday morning following revelations from recently published diary entries in which the former director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases expressed private frustrations about pandemic-era policy debates. Trump claimed Fauci's public credibility collapsed whenever they appeared together, saying the doctor's recommendations carried less weight once Americans saw them side by side.
The president then pivoted to what he called a 'God theory'—suggesting divine intervention played a role in the pandemic's trajectory and the development of vaccines during his first term. The comments come as Fauci faces renewed congressional scrutiny over NIH funding decisions and the agency's communications with Chinese researchers in early 2020.

Lawmakers' SpaceX Stakes Raise Conflict Questions
At least five members of Congress who purchased shares in SpaceX's private stock sales sit on committees with direct oversight of the company's federal contracts, defense programs, and regulatory environment, creating what ethics watchdogs are calling a textbook conflict of interest. The lawmakers—three Republicans and two Democrats—collectively hold positions worth an estimated $2 million to $8 million in the privately held company, which derives roughly 40% of its revenue from government contracts.
SpaceX stock has become Capitol Hill's hottest asset since the company announced plans for a 2027 IPO that could value it above $300 billion. House rules require disclosure of stock purchases but contain no prohibition on members trading shares in companies their committees regulate, a loophole that reform advocates have targeted for years without success.

Zelensky Touches Down for Trump Talks, Graham Funeral
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky arrived in Washington early Tuesday for his first face-to-face meeting with President Trump since the administration signaled it would condition future military aid on Kyiv's willingness to enter negotiations with Moscow. The meeting comes at a precarious moment, with Russian forces having consolidated gains in eastern Ukraine while Trump administration officials float proposals for a demilitarized buffer zone.
Zelensky will also attend Sen. Lindsey Graham's funeral, where he's expected to deliver remarks honoring the late senator's unwavering support for Ukrainian sovereignty. Graham had been scheduled to lead a bipartisan congressional delegation to Kyiv next month and was working to secure a $40 billion aid package before his death.
