The nearly 700-kilogram buffalo had already been sold for ritual slaughter when authorities stepped in following a surge of public interest after videos of the animal went viral online.

Crowds traveled from across the country to see the buffalo, known for its blond fringe and calm temperament.

Home Minister Salahuddin Ahmed ordered the animal to be spared, the buyer refunded, and the buffalo transferred to the national zoo in Dhaka.

On the phone with President Zelensky, I reiterated Europe’s full support for Ukraine as Russia doubles down on its brutal war of aggression.

Air defence and drone and counter-drone capabilities are among Europe’s most urgent defence priorities.

And Ukraine will be fully integrated into these efforts.

The Ukraine Support Loan will make a vital contribution.

This year alone, it will provide €28.3 billion to help cover Ukraine’s military needs.

We also spoke about Ukraine’s path to EU membership.

The coming weeks will be important to take decisive steps forward in the accession process.

The U.S. fired more than 1,000 Tomahawk missiles during the conflict, with inventories potentially not fully restored until 2030. Supplies of THAAD interceptors and Patriot missiles were also heavily depleted, with replenishment timelines estimated at late 2029 and mid-2029, respectively.

CSIS said limited production capacity is slowing recovery despite increased defense spending. Fewer than 200 Tomahawks are currently produced annually, though RTX Corporation, parent company of Raytheon, aims to expand output to over 1,000 per year.

THAAD deliveries were reprioritized to meet U.S. military needs ahead of allied orders.

CSIS warned that Patriot production poses a particular challenge because Washington must simultaneously replenish domestic stocks, continue support for Ukraine, and meet demand from 17 allied countries that also use the system.

I very much appreciate President Trump’s desire to end the Iranian conflict with a diplomatic solution that is real and sustainable.

I have complete confidence in President Trump and his team to achieve this shared goal.

However, the biggest news out of the cabinet meeting is President Trump’s determination to expand the Abraham Accords, to include Saudia Arabia making peace with Isreal. This would be the biggest change in the Middle East in thousands of years, effectively ending the Arab-Israeli conflict. I am convinced that President Trump — above all others — has the ability to make this happen. He has been a good, reliable partner to Saudi Arabia and the Crown Prince, and no one has been a better friend of Israel than President Trump.

I have been working on normalization for years, including during the Biden administration, because I know this leads to a lasting peace and a new Middle East that could become an economic powerhouse, not a powder keg.

I will do everything in my power, working in a bipartisan fashion, to help President Trump achieve peace between Saudi Arabia and Israel.

We still haven’t achieved peace, but it is not because of us that we have not reached peace.

They introduced brainwashing in mosques and in schoolbooks.

It would be very hard to find a Muslim who, if given the choice, would choose another Arab Muslim country over staying in Israel.

A short while ago, the IDF struck two central Hamas terrorists in the northern Gaza Strip. Details to Follow.

This week, I prepared a special letter addressed to President Trump and to Congress. And yesterday, the letter was officially delivered to the institutions in Washington. It is quite rare for the leader of another state to address both the President and Congress of the United States simultaneously with a letter. But the situation now requires action, swift and effective action.

It is important that America hear Ukraine. We understand that much of the world’s attention is currently focused on the war in Iran. But the war here in Europe must also be brought to an end — a very bloody war that is already in its fifth year at full scale.

The sooner we are able to provide greater protection against ballistic threats, the sooner we will be able to make diplomacy work. As long as Russia continues to rely on missiles, its interest in diplomacy is not real. We must correct this. And we can do so only together with America.

Ukraine is grateful to America for all its support. And Ukraine will be even more grateful for a dignified peace and guaranteed security. All of this is possible — if there is sufficient determination.

My proudest legacy will be that of a peacemaker and unifier.

That's what I want to be, a peacemaker and a unifier.

Iran will not be pushed back by Trump’s rhetoric from its red lines: the right to enrich uranium, possession of enriched uranium, authority over the Strait of Hormuz, and the removal of sanctions.

It is obvious Trump, seeking a way out of this strategic deadlock, alternates between issuing threats and appealing for an agreement.

Prosecutors allege the 36-year-old Italian citizen accessed nonpublic Google search trend data, including Year in Search 2025 information, and placed large bets under the username “AlphaRaccoon” between October and December, including wagers predicting singer d4vd would become the year’s most-searched person.
