Digital sovereignty clash: U.S. prepares portal to host content banned in Europe – NaturalNews.com

• The U.S. State Department is developing a portal, freedom.gov, to host online content removed under European speech laws like the EU’s Digital Services Act.
• The initiative is framed as a counter-censorship measure, potentially including a VPN to mask users’ locations and avoid tracking.
• The move signals a major policy clash between U.S. free speech principles and European regulatory models focused on curbing hate speech and disinformation.
• European leaders are simultaneously advancing stricter digital governance, including potential identity verification and VPN restrictions.
• The portal reflects escalating international disputes over digital sovereignty, platform accountability, and the cross-border enforcement of speech standards.

In a bold move that sets the stage for a direct confrontation over global internet governance, the United States is preparing to launch an online portal designed to provide access to material that European authorities have ordered removed from the internet. The initiative, spearheaded by the State Department, aims to create a U.S.-hosted sanctuary for content restricted under laws like the European Union’s Digital Services Act and the United Kingdom’s Online Safety Act, challenging foreign speech regulations from American soil.

Trump announces new global tariff after losing in US Supreme Court — RT World News

The justices have ruled that most of the American president’s earlier tariffs are constitutional

US President Donald Trump has announced a new 10% global tariff after the Supreme Court of the United States struck down most of the earlier measures.

In a 6–3 decision on Friday, the highest court ruled that the 1977 International Emergency Economic Powers Act does not give Trump the authority to impose what he described as reciprocal tariffs against almost every country.

Trump responded by vowing to sign an executive order on Friday using another piece of legislation, the Trade Act of 1974, to impose additional tariffs.

“The Supreme Court did not overrule tariffs, they merely overruled a particular use of IEEPA tariffs,” Trump told reporters. “Now I’m going to go in a different direction, probably the direction that I should have gone the first time,” he said.

China overtakes US as Germany’s biggest trade partner — RT World News

China overtakes US as Germany’s biggest trade partner

German exports to America fell by more than 9% last year, the state statistics agency has said

China has overtaken the US as Germany’s biggest trading partner, the German Federal Statistics Agency said in a report published on Friday. The nation’s trade deficit with the Asian country reached a record level of €89.3 billion ($105 billion), according to the agency’s data.

The largest supplier of goods to Germany since 2015 has been China, underscoring the depth of their economic ties. Although the US briefly overtook it as Germany’s top trading partner in 2024, China regained the lead last year. Its exports to Germany rose by 8.8%, pushing total bilateral trade to €251.8 billion.

Germany’s own exports to China fell by 9.7% over the same period. Last year, China’s exports to Germany were worth more than twice what Germany itself sold to China, the data shows.

Meanwhile, Berlin’s exports to the US – the largest importer of German goods – fell by 9.4% in 2025, slashing the trade surplus between the two nations from €69.6 billion to €51.9 billion, according to the statistics agency.

Israel ready to strike Iran-backed forces – media — RT World News

The IDF is reportedly preparing “unprecedented” strikes on Hezbollah and the Houthis

Israel’s military is preparing to launch large-scale pre-emptive strikes on Iran-backed armed groups across the Middle East in order to prevent them from lending support to Tehran in any potential regional conflict, the Saudi daily Asharq Al-Awsat reported on Friday.

Israeli military sources told the newspaper that West Jerusalem has engaged mediators to warn Lebanon’s Hezbollah militant group, Yemen’s Houthi rebels, and armed factions in Iraq that any attack against Israel would be met with a “massive and unprecedented response.”

The sources said that Israeli defense officials believe Tehran is pushing its regional allies to take part in any potential escalation after concluding that their limited involvement in the 12-day Israel-Iran war was a strategic mistake.

Iran has allocated substantial resources, including an estimated $1 billion in 2025, to bolster its allies’ ability to strike targets in Israel and the region, the sources claimed.

Israeli assessments cited by the paper suggest that Kataib Hezbollah in Iraq is reluctant to take part in a confrontation, while Hezbollah in Lebanon and the Houthis are more likely to participate.

State Department revokes more than 100,000 visas in Trump administration crackdown on criminal activity – NaturalNews.com

• The Trump administration has revoked more than 100,000 visas from foreign nationals arrested or convicted of crimes in the U.S.
• This historic 150% increase targets offenses like DUI, assault, and child abuse.
• The policy treats a U.S. visa as a conditional privilege, not a guaranteed right.
• It is part of a new “continuous vetting” system screening all 55 million visa holders.
• The action marks a fundamental shift to also enforce against those who enter legally but break laws.

The welcome mat for foreign nationals who break America’s laws is officially being yanked away. In a sweeping enforcement action that underscores a fundamental shift in U.S. immigration policy, the State Department has revoked more than 100,000 visas from individuals arrested or convicted of crimes while in the United States. This unprecedented move targets offenses ranging from driving under the influence to child abuse and assault, signaling that the Trump administration is treating a U.S. visa as a conditional privilege, not a guaranteed right.

The department framed the massive revocation as a direct fulfillment of President Trump’s campaign pledge to prioritize public safety and border security. In a statement on social media, officials were unequivocal: “The United States has no obligation to host criminals who endanger the American people.” They added, “A U.S. visa is a privilege, not a right. In this Trump Administration’s first year, we revoked over 100k visas from the Worst of the Worst – DUI, child abuse, and assault.”

A record-setting enforcement push

The scale of this action is historic. State Department deputy spokesperson Tommy Pigott confirmed the revocations mark a 150 percent increase from 2024. The leading causes for cancellation were overstays, driving under the influence, assault, and theft. This statistic is not an abstract number; it represents a deliberate and systemic review of the approximately 55 million foreign nationals holding valid U.S. visas, a policy of “continuous vetting” now in effect.

This crackdown extends beyond just tourists or temporary visitors. The State Department noted that the revoked visas include some 8,000 student visas and 2,500 specialized work visas. The department stated, “We will continue to deport these thugs to keep America safe.” While officials did not specify whether removal proceedings have been initiated in every individual case, the revocation of legal status is the critical first step toward deportation.

A speech divided: Shutdown and protest loom over Trump’s State of the Union – NaturalNews.com

• President Trump’s first State of the Union address of his second term will be delivered amid a partial government shutdown of the Department of Homeland Security.
• Congressional Democrats are planning coordinated acts of protest, including boycotts, walkouts, and symbolic guest invitations, to express opposition during the nationally televised event.
• Some Republicans privately express concern that the DHS shutdown creates poor optics for a speech intended to project national strength and a functional government.
• The planned protests continue a trend of declining decorum during the annual presidential address, with both parties engaging in disruptive behavior in recent years.
• The event sets the stage for a high-stakes political confrontation over immigration policy and governance, overshadowing traditional themes of unity.

On February 24, 2026, President Donald Trump will deliver his first State of the Union address to a joint session of Congress since his return to office. The prime-time speech, a constitutionally rooted tradition for reporting on the nation’s condition, will unfold under historically fraught circumstances. It coincides with a partial shutdown of the Department of Homeland Security and faces a coordinated campaign of protest from Democratic lawmakers, setting the stage for an event defined more by political confrontation than national unity.

The war clock ticks and oil prices are surging: Trump administration poised to join Israel in catastrophic strike on Iran – NaturalNews.com

The United States stands on the precipice of initiating a devastating, unauthorized war in the Middle East, driven by a manufactured crisis and hidden from public view. According to a new report from Axios, the Trump administration is actively preparing for a massive joint military campaign with Israel against Iran, with operations potentially beginning imminently. This push for conflict comes despite intelligence community assessments finding no evidence Iran is building a nuclear weapon, revealing a dangerous agenda to justify aggression through fear. With a second U.S. carrier group steaming toward the region and Congress distracted, the American people are being led blindly toward a conflict that could eclipse the quagmires of Iraq and Afghanistan.

Key points:

• Axios journalist Barak Ravid, citing sources close to the Israeli government, reports the U.S. is “closer to a major war in the Middle East than most Americans realize.”
• The planned operation is described as a “massive” joint U.S.-Israeli campaign aimed at Iran’s nuclear facilities, far broader than last year’s conflict.
• This military escalation is proceeding with zero Congressional debate or public oversight, bypassing the constitutional requirement for a war declaration.
• The war push persists even as indirect diplomatic talks show some progress, with Iran requesting two weeks to formulate a detailed proposal.
• Oil prices surged on the news, highlighting global market fears of a conflict that could spiral into a years-long regional catastrophe.

Wars of the future ‘being planned’ in Israel – US senator — RT World News

Lindsey Graham has praised local defense industry during his trip to Tel Aviv

Republican Senator Lindsey Graham has said Israel is ahead of the US in developing cutting-edge weapons.

Graham made the remarks in Tel Aviv after meeting Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and opposition leader Yair Lapid on Monday. The senator said Washington should invest in Israel’s defense industry rather than “just writing a check” for military aid.

“I like that idea. The wars of the future are being planned here in Israel. If you’re not one step ahead of the enemy, you suffer,” Graham said, praising the Israel Defense Forces as “most clever, creative military forces on the planet.”

“Israel is advancing down the road of new weaponry far beyond us,” he added.

The Munich Security Conference 2026: Much hype, little substance, no hope — RT World News

Western Europe remains willfully blind to its own mistakes of the past two decades, choosing to escalate crises and blame others

What a relief, it’s over. This year’s Munich Security Conference (MSC) has ended.

In reality, the meeting has never had much to do with increasing anyone’s security. Otherwise, its Western participants would, for instance, not have laughed at but taken seriously the warning Russian President Vladimir Putin issued there as far back as 2007, which could have spared the world – and Ukraine – the current de facto war between the West and Russia via Ukraine.

Almost two decades ago now, while Russia was resurging from its post-Soviet time of troubles, the movers and shakers of the West chose to haughtily dismiss Moscow’s objections to the Western project of establishing a “unipolar world.” That was sheer hubris: such a world was never to be, but the obstinate Western attempt to impose it has proven highly destructive.

Which brings us to the present. This year, the MSC has taken place under the odd motto “Under Destruction.” The phrase is both clumsy – the kind of sad things that happen when Germans try to sound original in English – and intriguingly pessimistic. Yet it could have had the advantage of signaling a growing willingness to face reality, in particular that of the West’s own mistakes over the last – roughly – third of a century. After the end of the original Cold War, the world has never been the West’s to remake, but the West did have a unique chance to improve it by practicing wise foresight (how hard was it to predict Russia would come back?), fairness (don’t kick a great power already down), and, last but not least, good faith (serial lying rots diplomacy from within).
