Trump makes a victor’s return to Washington and pledges a ‘smooth’ transition of power from Biden
SUMMARY: Donald Trump returned to the White House for a nearly two-hour meeting with President Joe Biden, marking a significant political comeback after his defeat in 2020. Initially rivals, both leaders emphasized a commitment to a smooth transition of power. Trump, who left Washington as a diminished figure in January 2021, now prepares to assume power again, supported by a Republican resurgence. During the meeting, Trump acknowledged the challenges of politics and expressed gratitude for the transition process, contrasting his current demeanor with his earlier nervousness when meeting President Obama. The occasion highlighted Trump’s regained dominance within the GOP.

SUMMARY: The U.S. is developing the “Conventional Prompt Strike” hypersonic weapon for the Zumwalt-class destroyers, enabling long-range strikes. Each ship will have 12 missiles, traveling at speeds seven to eight times the speed of sound. Despite criticism over its $7.5 billion cost and canceled gun system, the Zumwalt remains the Navy’s most advanced surface warship, featuring electric propulsion and stealthy design. The hypersonic weapons are costly, with $18 billion required for 300 units, but provide the ability to strike from thousands of kilometers away, making them a crucial national security priority, despite concerns over their cost-effectiveness.
