Elon Musk has stepped down from leading the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), handing the reins to conservative policy strategist Russell Vought. A key Trump ally, Vought is best known for shaping Project 2025 and pushing aggressive spending cuts and federal downsizing. He aims to revive Trump’s Schedule F and slash budgets at agencies like USAID and NPR. Musk, who reportedly wants to focus on Tesla and SpaceX, had worked closely with Vought during DOGE’s early days. Critics warn Vought's Christian nationalist leanings and military spending cuts may spark major backlash.

U.S. President Donald Trump has signed an executive order to defund NPR and PBS, directing the Corporation for Public Broadcasting to cut federal funding to public media. The move could devastate local stations, especially in rural communities, and marks a major escalation in the administration’s ongoing battle with public broadcasters. The order also calls for investigations into potential bias and employment discrimination, sparking legal and political backlash.

US Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth has said he is confident NATO allies will commit to Donald Trump’s bold demand of raising defence spending to 5% of GDP. Speaking after a high-stakes meeting in Brussels, Hegseth noted there was near-consensus among member states, with many already surpassing the 2% benchmark. The final commitment is expected during the Hague summit later this month. NATO Secretary-General Mark Rutte also supported a split plan—3.5% for hard military power and 1.5% for broader security needs—calling it a historic turning point in alliance capability.
