SCOTUS Lets Trump Pentagon Trans Ban Take Effect, for Now
The Supreme Court has sided with the Trump administration in lifting a lower court’s order that paused the Pentagon’s transgender military ban.
In a short order on Tuesday, the high court handed the White House win as Trump seeks to unmake the Biden-era diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) agenda. The court stayed a lower court order, allowing the Pentagon policy to take effect. Justices Sonia Sotomayor, Elena Kagan and Ketanji Brown Jackson would have denied the administration’s appeal and kept the lower court injunction in place.
At issue in the suit, Shilling v. United States, is President Donald Trump’s January executive order banning transgender military members. The order required the Department of Defense to update its guidance regarding «trans-identifying medical standards for military service» and to «rescind guidance inconsistent with military readiness.»…READ MORE

La República Democrática del Congo y Ruanda firmaron un acuerdo de paz, con la mediación de Estados Unidos

La República Democrática del Congo y Ruanda firmaron este viernes un acuerdo de paz -facilitado por Estados Unidos- que intentará poner fin a décadas de mortíferos combates en el este del Congo, a la par que buscará brindar al gobierno estadounidense y a empresas del país acceso a minerales críticos en la región.
El pacto, alcanzado tras meses de negociaciones, marca un paso significativo en los esfuerzos por frenar la violencia que ha devastado al este congoleño y que involucra a más de 100 grupos armados, entre ellos facciones respaldadas por Ruanda, provocando millones de muertes desde la década de 1990.
Precisamente, el documento suscrito prevé disposiciones sobre la protección de la integridad territorial, una prohibición de hostilidades y medidas concretas como la desmovilización, el desarme y la integración condicional de grupos armados no estatales.
De acuerdo con los términos del acuerdo, las partes se comprometen a respetar las fronteras internacionales y cesar acciones militares entre sí y contra sus ciudadanos y bienes. Además, se establecen mecanismos de verificación y seguimiento orientados a prevenir incursiones transfronterizas y el resurgimiento de la violencia, tradicionalmente alimentada por disputas étnicas, históricos resentimientos, y el control de los ricos yacimientos minerales de la región.
La ministra de Relaciones Exteriores del Congo, Therese Kayikwamba Wagner, celebró la noticia y aprovechó el momento, junto a su par ruandés, Olivier Nduhungirehe, para evocar la magnitud de la tragedia humanitaria vivida por la población congoleña.
“Algunas heridas sanarán, pero nunca desaparecerán por completo. Aquellos que han sufrido más están observando. Esperan que este acuerdo sea respetado, y no podemos fallarles”, dijo, en referencia al historial de acuerdos previos fracasados, así como al impacto profundo y sostenido de las hostilidades en la niñez, las comunidades desplazadas, sectores rurales, y en la estructura social y económica local.
Por su parte, Nduhungirehe valoró el potencial positivo de esta cooperación y sostuvo que “el crecimiento compartido y la cooperación transfronteriza desbloquearán dividendos tangibles para ambos países”.
“Debemos reconocer que hay una gran incertidumbre en nuestra región y más allá, porque muchos acuerdos anteriores no se han implementado, y no hay duda de que el camino que nos espera no será fácil. Pero con el apoyo continuo de Estados Unidos y otros socios, creemos que se ha alcanzado un punto de inflexión”, sumó el canciller ruandés.

El secretario de Estado estadounidense, Marco Rubio, también se expresó tras el anuncio y describió el acontecimiento como “un momento importante tras 30 años de guerra”, enfatizando no solo en las aspiraciones de paz de los pueblos afectados por el conflicto, sino también en los intereses internacionales involucrados en la estabilidad regional y el acceso de su país a los recursos estratégicos.
En tanto, el presidente Donald Trump destacó durante una conferencia de prensa que gracias a su intervención en “una de las peores guerras que cualquier persona haya visto” logró “reunirlos (a los bandos enfrentados) y negociarlo (el acuerdo)”.
“Y no solo eso, estamos obteniendo para Estados Unidos muchos de los derechos minerales del Congo”, sumó, en referencia al nuevo caudal de minerales críticos para sectores tecnológicos claves al que tendrá acceso en adelante, en medio de la carrera con China por la influencia y la explotación del continente africano.
Durante las negociaciones, la participación de Qatar también resultó clave; el país árabe del Golfo ofreció respaldo logístico y político para acercar las posiciones de las partes enfrentadas, a petición de la Casa Blanca y otras entidades internacionales.

Pentagon unveils $961B budget request: Fund for Golden Dome, missiles and drones, fewer F-35 jets

NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles!
The Pentagon unveiled details of its $961 billion budget request on Thursday, a budget roadmap that may deprioritize new F-35 fighter jets in favor of next-generation aircraft and drones.
The budget would reach that figure through $848.3 billion in its discretionary defense budget and an additional $113 billion through reconciliation, the «One Big Beautiful Bill» the Trump administration is trying to muscle through Congress right now.
The parallel budget requests include $25 billion for Golden Dome, President Donald Trump’s homeland missile defense initiative.
And as the Trump administration moves forward with the Air Force’s 6th-gen fighter jet, dubbed the F-47, the budget calls for a reduction in the next purchase of F-35s from 74 to 47. It requests $3.4 billion for the F-47 program.

Officials are still unsure whether the Navy’s next-gen fighter jet, F/A-XX, will move forward.
«Waiting for a decision from the secretary of the Navy, secretary of defense, and the president,» a defense official told reporters. «That’s an active conversation, whether to continue with the program or not.»
The program will proceed right now with «minimal funding» for design, the official said.
Asked whether other service branches may get a different variant of the F-47 instead of entirely separate programs, the official said the idea is under consideration.
«I would say pretty much everything is under consideration to get the [tactical] air capability that our war fighters need as quickly as possible, and that’s really what we’re looking at the most, is the schedule of all these programs.»
The budget requests funding for three new Navy ships through the discretionary request and another 16 through the reconciliation request.

The proposed budget seeks $197.4 billion for the Army, $292.2 billion for the Navy, $301.1 billion for the Air Force and $170.9 billion defense-wide. In the Air Force budget request is $40 billion for Space Force, a 30% increase from fiscal year 2025.
The unusual budget structure, which officials classify as «one budget, two bills,» is part of a broader $1 trillion defense strategy when combined with national security spending at the Department of Energy. Administration officials have been working overtime to convince lawmakers to pass the One Big Beautiful bill by July 4.
The budget asks for a 3.8% pay raise for troops, and it reveals plans to cut its civilian employee workforce by 7,286 people.
The Pentagon plans to continue to invest in munitions and weapons systems: the Joint Air to Surface Standoff Missile – Extended Range and Long Range Anti-Ship missile, which have longer ranges and may be more effective in the Pacific – but it seeks far fewer Precision Strike Missiles.

The E-7 radar plane will be cut, the senior defense official confirmed, «due to significant delays with cost increases from $588 million to $724 million per aircraft and survivability concerns in this contested environment.»
In an ideal world, Congress would pass 12 separate appropriations bills before the start of the fiscal year on October 1. But in recent years, it has often punted the headache down the road with continuing resolutions, or bills that temporarily fund the government at the previous year’s levels, and omnibuses, sprawling bills that contain funding for all 12 agencies in one up-or-down vote.
