Trump's moves seen threatening key sources of U.S. 'soft power'
U.S. President Donald Trump's attempt to block Harvard University, with its global reputation for academic excellence, from enrolling international students adds to a growing list of measures that risk severely undercutting American "soft power."
A federal judge has placed a temporary hold on the Harvard ban.
But the president's move was just part of a wider ideological battle he has waged against dozens of long-established programs designed to promote diversity and cooperation at home and abroad — and to expand U.S. influence in the process.

Japan to propose China countermeasure package at next US tariff talks
TOKYO -- At its next round of tariff negotiations, Japan will present the U.S. with a cooperation package focusing on supply chains for Chinese rare earths and American liquefied natural gas that have been disrupted by U.S.-China tensions. China has curbed exports of seven types of rare earths and stopped procuring LNG from the U.S. By filling in some of these gaps and putting the focus on China, which President Donald Trump has made the largest target of his tariffs, Japan hopes to draw concessions.

NATO defense ministers to hold final talks on defense spending increase
The defense chiefs of NATO member countries are set to hold final-stage talks on a timeline for increasing defense spending. A meeting of NATO defense ministers opened on Thursday in the Belgian capital of Brussels. US President Donald Trump is pushing alliance members to raise their defense spending to 5 percent of GDP. Ahead of the meeting, US Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth said: "You can't freeload. You need to spend." He added that NATO "cannot and will not be reliance on America in a world of a lot of threats." NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte said European and Canadian allies are expected to step up defense spending. He said, "I'm pretty confident we will get there as a result." To meet the 5 percent target, the NATO chief has proposed that member nations increase their defense spending to 3.5 percent of GDP, with an additional 1.5 percent allocated to security-related expenditures by 2032. Some NATO officials suggest that timeframe is unrealistic. NATO aims to reach an agreement at a summit meeting scheduled to take place in the Netherlands late this month.
