Fox News: Sec Hegseth to visit Panama after Trump's demands for canal's return
Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth will meet with Panamanian leaders next week to address U.S. national security concerns regarding Chinese influence over the Panama Canal. This follows ongoing discussions about the potential repurchase of the canal, which the U.S. handed over to Panama in the 1970s.
The Trump administration remains critical of the fees imposed on U.S. vessels using the canal and has introduced legislation to negotiate reacquisition. Panama's president has denied any Chinese control over the canal and criticized Trump's claims regarding its repurchase.

Fox News: Trump touts airstrike on Houthis, showing video: Will 'never sink our ships again'
Trump shared footage of a recent airstrike on Houthi rebels, asserting they will not threaten U.S. ships again. The strikes follow Houthi attacks on U.S. vessels and are part of ongoing military action against the Iranian-backed group, which has escalated since the Hamas attacks on Israel.
He warned the Houthis to cease their aggression or face continued retaliation, emphasizing the need to protect freedom of navigation. Trump also indicated that Iran could be targeted if the attacks persist.
Fox News: Army may slash 90,000 troops as Pentagon faces budget cuts and strategic shake-up: report
The U.S. Army is reportedly considering a reduction of up to 90,000 active-duty troops, potentially lowering the total to between 360,000 and 420,000 soldiers. This aligns with Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth's push for an 8% budget cut and a shift in focus towards high-tech capabilities for future conflicts, particularly in the Pacific.
Concerns have been raised about the impact of these cuts on retention of skilled personnel, especially if a clear strategy is not implemented. The Army has previously reduced positions tied to counterterrorism, and while recruiting remains challenging, it met its 2024 enlistment goals.
