Description

The bipartisan House panel investigating the July 13 assassination attempt on former President Donald Trump released its interim report on Monday, finding that the event was “preventable and should not have happened.” Lawmakers on the panel noted “stunning security failures”—including a lack of planning and coordination between the Secret Service and its law enforcement partners.

Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin said on Monday that the U.S. military has rushed its advanced anti-missile system to Israel, and confirmed that it is now "in place." THAAD, or the Terminal High Altitude Area Defense system, is a critical part of the U.S. military's layered air defense systems and adds to Israel's anti-missile defense capabilities.

Austin announced $400 million in new arms for Ukraine on Monday during a visit to Kyiv, in a show of solidarity just two weeks ahead of the U.S. presidential election. As the Biden administration winds down, Austin signaled continuity in U.S. support for Ukraine and announced there would be no changes as yet to U.S. policy.
