UD public forums bring diverse POVs to Dayton residents
The first panel part of the 'Dayton Dialogue: Conversations about Peace and Security in the Balkans' series kicked off Thursday, bringing NATO delegates from different countries into conversation with Dayton residents and visitors.
LIST: Public invited to forums during NATO Assembly
During Thursday's first forum, panelists discussed different aspects of NATO achieving peace, while also talking about world issues, like the economy and the Russia-Ukraine war.
The panel itself was open to the public, allowing residents of the Miami Valley a front row seat to the world stage, educating themselves of the different international perspectives that come with panels such as this.
'It's interesting to hear the unity that they're trying to achieve, which is reassuring to me,' said Jesse Parete, a Vandalia resident.
One local resident said having access to these national topics in their own backyard is special.
'I think it's really awesome seeing something like this happen in the city of Dayton,' said Christian Reynolds, a Dayton resident. 'You know, the city has difficulties and struggles, but bringing something like this together with a lot of eyes, really bringing Dayton back to the limelight, that's awesome.'
Can't make it? NATO public panels to be livestreamed
People from outside the U.S. who came to the panel stressed the importance of residents attending events like this.
'It's important that we see a public coming here from Dayton and other places to hear what really NATO does. And how much it means for the American people, and how much it means for us in Europe to get the Americans support so that we jointly tackle the challenges that we have in the world today,' said Sejfudin Hodzic, Bosnia and Herzegovina parliamentary member.
Panels will be happening throughout the weekend at UD's Roger Glass Center. Tickets are free but limited. Click here for more information.

Can the U.S. Still Be Europe's Peacemaker?
For over a century, no European peace treaty has been signed without the participation of the United States. Woodrow Wilson's vision shaped the Treaty of Versailles after World War I, and Harry Truman hammered out the post-World War II order with Soviet leader Joseph Stalin and British Prime Minister Winston Churchill at the Potsdam Conference. More recently, in 1995, U.S. envoy Richard Holbrooke led the talks that ended the wars in the former Yugoslavia. Perhaps this tradition was on Donald Trump's mind when he agreed to meet with Russian President Vladimir Putin in Alaska on Friday to discuss an end to the Russian invasion of Ukraine, among other subjects. After all, the U.S. is a European power, standing at the center of the NATO alliance, and as such its attitudes toward the future of Europe must be taken into account.

CNBC Daily Open: The Trump administration's mixing business with politics to build a chip empire
Don't mix business with pleasure — or the music of the spheres might eject you from the skies even if you are an astronomer — but it seems, in the current milieu, there are no such restrictions between business and politics. U.S. President Donald Trump's administration is eyeing a stake in struggling chipmaker Intel, according to a Bloomberg report on Thursday. That consideration is primarily attributable to Intel's status as the only born-and-bred American company that can manufacture the fastest chips on U.S. soil. While some firms such as Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company and Samsung, both of which can produce 3-nanometer chips — the most advanced semiconductors so far — have factories in the U.S., they are Taiwanese and South Korean companies, respectively, and probably do not enjoy apple pies on the Fourth of July. In combination with the news that Nvidia and AMD will pay the U.S. government a 15% share of their revenue from chip sales in China, as well as Apple committing to make more chips in America, the Trump administration seems to be consolidating a chip empire with the White House as its capital. To modify a song last heard by the Astronomer CEO before he was cast down to Earth: "I used to rule the world / Chips would rise when I gave the word."The Trump administration is reportedly considering a stake in Intel. The chipmaker is the only U.S. company that can manufacture the most advanced semiconductors in America. Intel's shares soared 7.4% after Bloomberg reported the news. Wholesale prices in the U.S. heat up. The producer price index for July shot up 0.9% on the month, higher than the Dow Jones estimate of a 0.2% gain. It was the biggest monthly rise since 2022. The annual figure came in at 3.3%, the highest since February. Potential Fed chair David Zervos backs an aggressive rate cut. The Jefferies chief market strategist told CNBC that reaccelerating wholesale prices in July should not deter the central bank from cutting its "restrictive" monetary policy by 50 basis points. U.S. stocks flirt with the flatline. The S&P 500's barest 0.03% gain, however, means it closed at another high on Thursday. The pan-European Stoxx 600 index added 0.55%. Meanwhile, the U.K. economy expanded by a better-than-expected 0.3% in the second quarter. [PRO] European defense stocks will benefit from Trump-Putin meeting. Regardless of whether the talks result in any breakthroughs on the war in Ukraine, analysts think it's a "win-win" situation for defense stocks. Putin vs. Trump? Ukraine talks could be a test of statecraft Russian President Vladimir Putin's standing in the West may be pretty low, but he's a skilled and seasoned statesman who shouldn't be underestimated, analysts say — and he's likely to be looking to outmaneuver his less experienced U.S. counterpart when the leaders meet in Alaska on Friday. "Let's be clear, Putin does not take Trump seriously," Tina Fordham, founder of Fordham Global Foresight, told CNBC ahead of the talks.
