Poland’s defense minister said Tuesday that the Pentagon had given a “green light” to plans for a permanent U.S. military base in the country, with President Donald Trump expected to make a final decision in early December. Speaking after talks with U.S. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth in Washington, Władysław Kosiniak-Kamysz said his American counterpart told him that “everything is moving in the right direction.” “We interpret that as a green light from the Pentagon,” he said. The project has not yet received formal U.S. approval. The Pentagon’s own account stopped short of endorsing the base or confirming the December timetable,…

Two years ago, Hakeem Jeffries was a minority leader watching Republicans run the table in Washington. He is now the presumptive Speaker of the House, the most powerful member of Congress, and is expected to take the gavel in January. By Tuesday, projections showed Democrats winning 254 seats to the Republicans’ 165, with 16 races still to be called. NBC News projects they will finish with 259, which would be the party’s biggest majority in more than three decades. A narrow one would have handed a dozen or so left-wing members a veto over his speakership and his agenda, and…
After recent attacks on supermarket fridges, home appliances could be next, the EU’s cyber chief warned on Tuesday, urging Europe to invest more to counter growing cyber threats. The warning comes as Europe has been hit with numerous cyber incidents in recent months, raising widespread concern, not just from governments but from the public too, about how vulnerable society is to cyberattacks and how prepared the continent is to deal with future cyber threats. “Security should not and cannot be an afterthought,” Juhan Lepassaar, executive director of the EU’s cybersecurity agency ENISA, told AFP. “Today it was fridges, tomorrow it…

1. Clampdown on migration The PP plans to harden Spain’s stance on immigration — a move that goes hand in hand with Vox. The conservatives “will promote agreements to establish return centers in third countries,” following in the footsteps of other EU countries such as Denmark and Germany, which are already exploring this option. They will propose deportation as “the standard procedure” for migrants convicted of sexual, violent and repeated offenses. The party will ban future mass regularizations such as Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez’s move to grant legal status to 500,000 people — which Feijóo has fiercely criticized. The PP…
