A CNN news segment discusses the Trump administration's proposal for a nationwide missile defence system, dubbed the "Golden Dome", similar in concept to Israel's Iron Dome but on a vastly larger scale. Military analyst Cedric Leighton highlights the geographic challenges of such a system for the United States compared to the much smaller Israel, noting the focus would likely be on protecting key infrastructure and populated areas from threats potentially originating from nations like Russia or China with advanced missile capabilities. The conversation also touches upon the development of new US military technology, specifically Boeing's contract for the F-47 fighter jet designed to penetrate enemy air defences, and how this relates to the evolving capabilities of potential adversaries. Leighton assesses the current state of the US Air Force as capable but acknowledges the need for advancements to maintain an advantage in light of other countries developing their own advanced aircraft.

The Trump administration initiated a process to end temporary legal status for over 530,000 individuals who had arrived from Cuba, Haiti, Nicaragua, and Venezuela through Biden-era parole programmes. This decision aims to fulfil a directive from Trump's first day in office to terminate such parole programmes, which the current administration argues do not serve a significant public benefit or align with US foreign policy goals. The Department of Homeland Security intends to remove those who entered under these programmes and do not depart by the termination date. These parole programmes, established by the Biden administration, allowed eligible individuals from these four nations to reside and work in the US for up to two years, subject to applications, background checks, and financial sponsorship. A senior DHS official criticised these programmes as "disastrous", while legal challenges have already been filed against this move to end them.

Donald Trump claimed to have sent a letter to Iran's Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, advocating nuclear negotiations while simultaneously threatening military action. Trump expressed a preference for a deal over military intervention, emphasising the urgency of the situation. The letter reportedly suggests that Iran should negotiate to avoid military consequences, as Trump aims to prevent Iran from obtaining nuclear weapons. However, the Iranian mission to the UN stated they had not received such a letter. This overture echoes a prior attempt in 2019, which Khamenei publicly dismissed. Trump's proposal arrives after he previously withdrew the U.S. from the 2015 nuclear agreement, and further, he stated he would be willing to obliterate Iran if they assassinated anyone.

President Trump is pursuing a deal with Ukraine focused on American access to the country's mineral resources, estimated to be worth hundreds of billions of dollars. However, this agreement apparently lacks US security guarantees for Ukraine, with Trump suggesting Europe should bear that responsibility. Ukrainian President Zelenskyy is scheduled to visit Washington to discuss the deal and seek assurances regarding future security. Zelenskyy hopes the mineral deal will lead to security guarantees, which he sees as essential for a meaningful ceasefire, while Trump aims to recoup US aid through resource exploitation. The potential agreement is portrayed as a business venture by some, raising concerns about whether it prioritises American interests over Ukrainian security. The UK also believes that Europe needs to take more responsibility for Ukraine's safety, and that any negotiations about Ukraine's future must include Ukraine.
