The Trump administration is preparing a $2.8B package for Israel: 20,000 MK-84s, 20,000 BLU-117s, and 20,000 penetrator warheads. The deal is set to be financed mainly through Foreign Military AID, US grant money that Israel then spends on American weapons.
Biden paused these bombs over civilian casualty concerns. Trump lifted the pause.
Israel will also get more advanced weapons that Washington never shared with anyone.
During a Sept. 5 meeting at the Kremlin, Trump administration envoys Jared Kushner and Steve Witkoff met with Putin to discuss efforts to end the war in Ukraine.
Putin reportedly told the U.S. envoys that Russian forces would capture the entire Donbas region within months.
Kushner challenged Putin over the repeated prediction, saying:
“With all due respect, you told us exactly that a year ago. What are the chances we come back here in another year and you are again saying the same thing? Maybe we don’t lose a year?”

Putin casts his vote online in the State Duma elections.
The EU proposed making Canada its first-ever associate member. Trump called it “laughable” and threatened serious tariffs and a halt to trade. Will Brussels back down, or double down?
UN experts say there are grounds to believe the US committed war crimes in its Iran strikes. At least 156 people, including 120 children, were killed in February’s strike on a primary school in Minab.
Low chances of Trump visiting Russia/Israel this year.
#polymarketpartner A China Coast Guard ship rammed a Philippine fisheries vessel today while it was delivering fuel to Filipino fishermen. The collision happened about 54 nautical miles (roughly 100 km) off Palawan, inside the Philippines’ EEZ. Beijing denies fault and says the Philippine boat cut across its bow. The video tells its own story.
