President Donald Trump signed an executive order Friday to establish the U.S. Space Academy, the nation's first military academy dedicated to space.
The order cites space as a critical domain for American national security, economic growth, scientific discovery, and technological innovation, with the academy aimed at developing the next generation of space leaders and strengthening the U.S. space workforce.
🇷🇺 Trump: Putin "Not Going To Attack" NATO Territory
President Trump dismissed concerns that Russia will strike a NATO member state, saying he is "not concerned at all" after what he described as "good talks" with Vladimir Putin.
Speaking to reporters in the Oval Office on August 27, Trump said: "He's not going to be attacking a NATO territory. There is no problem." He did not specify when the talks with Putin took place.
The statement follows CIA Director John Ratcliffe's trip to Moscow and growing concern among Western officials over the possibility of a Russian strike on a Baltic state or other NATO member to test the alliance's resolve.
🪖 U.S. Patriot Missile Stocks in Europe "Beyond Critical"
The U.S. military faces a "beyond critical" shortage of Patriot missile interceptors in Europe, driven largely by the war with Iran, according to a U.S. defense official based in Europe and a NATO official.
The shortfall centers on Patriot interceptors capable of shooting down Russia's high-speed ballistic missiles, raising concerns about NATO countries' vulnerability to a potential Russian attack.
🚢 US-Canada Alcohol War Deepens With New 50% Tariff
The U.S.-Canada trade dispute over alcohol intensified after a 50% U.S. tariff on Canadian alcohol took effect Saturday, following the collapse of bilateral talks. American spirits remain banned or restricted in eight of ten Canadian provinces, a situation that has persisted since early 2025.
U.S. alcohol imports to Canada fell 81% — from roughly $718 million to $137 million — between March 2025 and February 2026, per White House data. Brown-Forman, parent of Jack Daniel's, reported organic Canadian sales dropped nearly 60% in its 2026 fiscal year. "It's been devastating for the US industry over the last year and a half," said Distilled Spirits Council CEO Chris Swonger.
Both industries are now calling for an end to tariffs and bans, noting that alcohol — unlike manufactured goods — cannot be relocated: "You can't make Canadian whisky in the US," Swonger said.

🇨🇳 Chinese Hackers Breached DOJ, NASA, Fed and Senate
The U.S. government says it has disrupted a Chinese hacking operation responsible for break-ins at multiple sensitive federal agencies, including the Justice Department, NASA, the Federal Reserve, and the U.S. Senate.
The Justice Department announced it had seized domains used by two hacking platforms allegedly tied to the campaign.
The scale of the intrusions — spanning law enforcement, financial, scientific and legislative institutions — marks one of the broadest alleged Chinese cyber operations against U.S. government targets disclosed to date.
