Fox News: White House removes Cuba's state sponsor of terrorism designation, reversing Trump administration move
The Biden administration has revoked Cuba's designation as a state sponsor of terrorism, a move made by the Trump administration in 2021. This decision is reportedly linked to a deal involving the Catholic Church aimed at releasing political prisoners in Cuba.
Biden's certification states that Cuba has not supported international terrorism recently and commits to not doing so in the future. Critics, including Senator Ted Cruz, argue that the Cuban regime continues its terrorist activities and have vowed to reverse this decision.
Times Of Israel: Iran’s FM says European countries appear serious about reviving nuclear deal
Iran's Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi stated that European powers are serious about reviving nuclear negotiations following recent talks in Geneva. Discussions with Britain, France, and Germany focused on lifting sanctions and finding a diplomatic solution, with both sides describing the talks as constructive.
Despite Iran's willingness to revive the 2015 nuclear deal, concerns remain over its uranium enrichment activities, which have escalated since the U.S. withdrew from the agreement in 2018. Iran insists its nuclear program is for peaceful purposes, while the international community monitors its advancements closely.

Le Monde: UK bans German livestock imports amid foot-and-mouth disease outbreak
The UK has banned imports of German cattle, pigs, and sheep to prevent the spread of foot-and-mouth disease following an outbreak in Berlin. The disease, which affects cloven-hoofed animals, has not been seen in Germany for over 30 years and poses significant economic risks.
Three cases were reported in water buffalo, leading to the culling of 11 animals. The UK government is urging farmers to remain vigilant, as the disease can cause severe economic losses, recalling a past outbreak that resulted in the culling of millions of animals.

The Federalist: Hegseth Hearing Shows Dems' Are Unserious About U.S. Security
The Senate Armed Services Committee's confirmation hearing for Pete Hegseth as defense secretary saw Democrats criticizing him rather than addressing military issues. GOP senators focused on military readiness and recruitment, while Democrats engaged in theatrics, opposing Hegseth's proposed reforms.
Hegseth aims to implement significant changes in the Pentagon, including eliminating "woke" policies and improving military effectiveness. Democrats' resistance appears to stem from a desire to maintain the status quo rather than support necessary reforms.
