EU and Canada Sign Security Pact as Carney Pivots From US
The European Union and Canada have signed a security partnership that moves them closer to cooperation on military purchases, as Prime Minister Mark Carney aims to reduce his country's dependence on the US for defense.
Canada sees the move as a first step toward participation in the 27-member bloc's €150 billion ($173 billion) joint-purchase loan pool dubbed Security Action for Europe (SAFE), part of its proposed €800 billion ReArm Europe initiative. Access to SAFE still has to be negotiated and requires purchase-by-purchase agreements led by European partners.

President Donald Trump on attack at Al Udeid: Iran got revenge out of its 'system'
WASHINGTON — Iran's first major response to the June 21 U.S. attack on its nuclear facilities appears to have been mostly foiled and launched against a base that had been largely evacuated, according to U.S. officials. What comes next? A spiraling conflict or an uneasy, unspoken ceasefire? President Donald Trump signaled its the latter with Iran getting revenge out of its "system." Iran targeted, Al Udeid Air Base in Qatar, the sprawling command center for the Pentagon's air war operations in the Middle East, with a barrage of short- and medium-range ballistic missiles. There were no U.S. casualties, according to a Defense official who was not authorized to speak publicly. There about 10,000 U.S. troops stationed at Al Udeid, on the outskirts of Qatar's capital of Doha. Its air operations center has overseen fighters, bombers and drones that have conducted combat missions in Iraq, Syria and Afghanistan. Dignitaries make stops there frequently, including Trump and secretaries of Defense. The Qatari military shot down most if not all the missiles, according to a second U.S. official who also was not authorized to speak publicly. Trump, in a social media post, said 13 of the 14 missiles were intercepted and one caused "hardly any damage." Iran gave advance notice of the attack, Trump said, and that with that volley of missiles they had "gotten it all out of their 'system.'" Iran could continue to fire missiles at bases housing 40,000 U.S. troops in the Middle East. Its missiles have the range to hit all of them, the second official said. The official agreed with Trump that, just as likely, Iran could cite Monday's attack as its response to "Operation Midnight Hammer" and stand down, the official said. For two weeks, Israel has conducted punishing raids on Israel, destroying much of its air defense and leaving it vulnerable to attack. The June 21 attack by the Pentagon employed the world's most potent bunker-buster bombs and has damaged if not destroyed a good portion of its nuclear enterprise, Air Force Gen. Dan Caine, the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, told reporters Sunday. A more thorough assessment of the damage at Fodrow, Natanz and Isfahan will take time, he said. Michael O'Hanlon, a military expert at the Brookings Institution, said Trump and the Pentagon would be wise to read Iran's intent behind its counterattack and wait to determine if a response is warranted. 'With this attack, Iran is signaling a desire to save face while deescalating,' O'Hanlon said. 'I'd be inclined to let it be, especially because other things are still unfolding — specifically, our efforts to figure out what really happened at Fordow in terms of bomb damage assessment and consider next steps from there. We don't need to worry about face ourselves, in my judgment.' Trump has shown a willingness to end the cycle of tit-for-tat attacks with Iran. In 2020, he ordered the killing by drone of Qasem Soleimani, the Iranian general who led its Quds Force. Iran responded by attacking al Asad Air Base in western Iraq, wounding more than 100 U.S. troops. Trump downplayed the significance of Iran's response and did not retaliate.

The Steam Deck OLED is back in stock
If you've been itching to get a handheld, but the Switch 2 isn't quite up your alley, now you can get your hands on a Steam Deck OLED. As spotted by @Wario64, Valve has started selling the device on its online store again after it was out of stock in the US and Canada for over a week. Earlier this month, Valve cited 'recent supply chain constraints' for the Steam Deck OLED's unavailability, adding that it expects the device to come back in stock by the end of the summer. It looks like Valve may have resolved its supply chain issues — at least for now — as the 512GB Steam Deck OLED is currently on sale for $549, while the 1TB version is available for $649. Both devices come with a 7.4-inch HDR OLED display, up to a 90Hz refresh rate, a carrying case, and battery life ranging from three to 12 hours, depending on content. The 1TB version adds a 'premium anti-glare etched glass' display, a removable liner with the carrying case, and an exclusive startup screen and virtual keyboard theme. However, neither model includes the Steam Deck Docking Station, which is available separately for $79 (there are plenty of third-party options out there, too.) But if you're still holding out for a Switch 2, the $450 console has been popping up intermittently at retailers like Walmart, Target, and Best Buy.

Zelensky arrives in UK after Russian attack on Kyiv kills at least 9
Zelensky said discussions would focus on coordinating diplomatically with Ukraine's allies — likely a reference to cease-fire negotiations — developing joint weapons production projects, and tightening sanctions on Russia. Advertisement Monday's visit appears to be part of a broader European diplomatic push. On Wednesday, Zelensky will address the Council of Europe, the Continent's leading human rights institution. In between, he may attend the NATO summit in The Hague, though he has yet to confirm his participation amid fears that Ukraine could be sidelined during the talks. Monday's attack was the second lethal barrage on Kyiv in the past week. Last Tuesday, 28 people died in a Russian assault, most of them the victims of a strike on another apartment building. That was the deadliest attack on the Ukrainian capital in nearly a year. Advertisement The new salvo of strikes has reinforced many Ukrainians' belief that Moscow is not interested in a cease-fire, especially as its military pushes ahead with a summer offensive in eastern Ukraine. A strike Sunday in Kramatorsk, a city near the eastern front line, killed four people. 'Russia is once again striking at human lives and destinies,' Tymur Tkachenko, the head of Kyiv's military administration, said Monday after the attack. 'This is not a trend, not an accident — it is a plan.' Those killed Monday appeared to have been in a residential building that was struck. Ukraine's emergency services released photos showing part of the five-story structure collapsed into rubble. As crews worked to clear the debris, officials warned that more people were probably still trapped beneath the wreckage. Several European officials in Kyiv, including Katarina Mathernova, the European Union ambassador, condemned the attack. Still, Ukraine worries that its most important ally, the United States, may further disengage from Ukraine's war effort after joining Israel's attacks on Iran over the weekend. Last week, President Trump skipped a scheduled meeting with Zelensky, at the Group of 7 summit in Canada, citing the need to return to Washington to handle the situation in the Middle East. Zelensky is likely to be worried that he could get similar treatment from world leaders at a NATO summit set to begin Tuesday in The Hague. He has yet to announce whether he will join that meeting of leaders of the bloc, which has promised to eventually make Ukraine a member. Advertisement Western leaders' shift in focus to the Middle East could leave Ukraine in a difficult position, stripped of the diplomatic leverage it hoped to use this year to end the war. Cease-fire talks have largely stalled, and without US support and pressure for more negotiations, Ukraine may have to endure a prolonged conflict on the battlefield, where its troops are slowly but steadily losing ground. If he manages to speak with Trump face-to-face in The Hague, Zelensky has said, he plans to request authorization for the sale of US-made Patriot air defense systems to Ukraine and to discuss new sanctions against Russia. 'Frankly, we need to talk about revitalizing diplomacy,' Zelensky told journalists last week. 'We need more clarity and more global pressure on Putin.' This article originally appeared in
