BREAKING: The Trump Administration Has Reportedly Halt All Aid to Ukraine—-Donald Trump administration press secretary Caroline Leavitt stated that the U.S. will no longer provide military assistance to Ukraine because their priority is peace negotiations.

This decision came after the controversy during Zelensky’s visit.

“We are no longer going to just write blank checks for a war in a very distant country without a real, lasting peace,” Leavitt said.

“It was great that the cameras were rolling because the American people and the whole world got to see what President Trump and his team are dealing with behind closed doors in negotiations with the Ukrainians,” she added.

Earlier, The Washington Post reported that the Trump administration is not ruling out halting all ongoing military aid shipments to Ukraine, worth billions of dollars.

U.S. Embassy Confirms Stability in Cotonou Post-Coup Attempt

U.S. Embassy Confirms Stability in Cotonou Post-Coup Attempt, Removes Shelter-in-Place Guidance for Americans—-Therefore, the embassy has cancelled its earlier shelter-in-place notice for American nationals.

According to the U.S. Embassy in Cotonou, the city’s security situation has stabilised and normalcy has been restored following Sunday’s disturbance.

Therefore, the embassy has cancelled its earlier shelter-in-place notice for American nationals.

According to a statement released Monday, the embassy called on U.S. citizens to exercise increased caution, stay updated through local media, avoid major crowds or demonstrations, and keep a discreet presence while navigating the city.

Citizens were also reminded to notify friends and family of their safety.

“The situation in Cotonou has stabilised and normalcy has returned, prompting us to withdraw the shelter-in-place recommendation,” the statement noted.

“We urge U.S. citizens to remain cautious. You can take the following steps: stay informed through local media, avoid large gatherings and demonstrations, maintain a low profile, and let friends and family know that you are safe.”

On Sunday, December 7, 2025, Benin Republic was rocked by an attempted coup when a faction of soldiers tried to overthrow President Patrice Talon’s government.

It was a tense Sunday morning in Cotonou, the commercial capital of Benin Republic. Residents awoke to the sight of soldiers appearing on state television, declaring that they had dissolved the government and suspended the constitution.

Identifying themselves as members of the so‑called “Military Committee for Refoundation”, the mutineers claimed to have removed President Talon from power.

Their bold announcement followed an unsuccessful assault on Talon’s official residence, which was heavily guarded by loyalist forces. Unable to capture the president, the soldiers turned to the symbolic act of seizing the national broadcaster, hoping to project authority and rally support.

For a brief moment, uncertainty gripped the nation as borders were reportedly ordered closed, and political parties suspended.

However, Benin’s Interior Minister, Alassane Seidou, appeared later to announce that the coup had been foiled. Loyalist troops regained control of strategic sites, and several of the mutineers were arrested. Reports suggest at least 14 soldiers were detained, while others fled.

Arrests in Pakistan Following Deadly Suicide Bombing

Arrests in Pakistan Following Deadly Suicide Bombing in Islamabad—-Pakistani security agencies have arrested several suspects in connection with a deadly suicide bombing in the capital Islamabad this week, sources said on Thursday, as the attack aggravated tensions with Afghanistan.

An alleged handler and a facilitator of the suspected Taliban bomber who killed 12 people in front of a court compound were among the suspects arrested in raids.

Two intelligence officials told dpa on Tuesday.

The arrests were made in the city of Rawalpindi, next to Islamabad, and in the north-western province of Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa, a hotspot of Taliban militancy.

“It seems there was a whole network behind the bombing.

“We are very close to making more headway and arrests,” one official said, seeking anonymity.

The rare bombing in the capital came amid increased tensions between Pakistan and the Taliban rulers of Afghanistan after a surge in cross-border attacks, which Islamabad blamed on Islamist militants, allegedly operating from Afghanistan.

Islamabad had accused Kabul of sheltering the Pakistani Taliban, which was separate from its Afghan counterpart in organisation but follows the same hardline interpretation of Islam.

Afghanistan denied the allegations.

The tensions simmered after forces from both countries were engaged in deadly border clashes last month, following a series of cross-border attacks by the Pakistani Taliban.

Interior Minister Mohsin Naqvi said on Thursday that the suicide bomber was an Afghan national, reflecting a growing trend in recent terrorist attacks.

Pakistan could again launch airstrikes against Afghanistan to target the alleged hideouts of the militants behind the attack, Defence Minister Khwaja Asif told broadcaster Geo News.
