After meetings in D.C., JD Vance joined Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni for an Easter lunch in Rome. Meloni, who praised her "fantastic" White House meeting, reaffirmed her support for Trumpās stance against "woke ideology."

Donald Trump and Melania arrived in Rome to attend Pope Francisā historic funeral, joining dozens of world leaders in Vatican City. As final tributes poured in, questions over seating arrangements stirred quiet tensions, especially for Trumpāwho previously criticized his predecessorās distant placement at Queen Elizabeth IIās funeral. With Argentina and Italy taking protocol precedence, other guests, including royalty and heads of state, are seated alphabetically. While Trump faces a "third-tier" position, Vatican experts assure the event will be a masterclass in managing egos and international dignitaries with delicate diplomacy.

Donald Trump has unveiled a visionary missile defense initiative, dubbed the "Golden Dome," aimed at fortifying the United States' defense against potential missile threats. Elon Muskās SpaceX, in partnership with Palantir and Anduril, is emerging as a front-runner to take on a key role in this mega-missile defense project.
The ambitious plan includes deploying over 1,000 satellites equipped with advanced tracking technology to detect and intercept incoming missiles worldwide. SpaceX has proposed a "subscription service" model for the government to pay for access to the system, bypassing the need for outright ownership, although the proposal has sparked debates over the risks of relying on a private company for defense upgrades and pricing control.
