U.S. Senate Republicans, pressured by President Donald Trump, voted against a resolution to limit further military involvement in Venezuela without congressional approval. The vote ended in a narrow 51-50, aided by Vice President JD Vance breaking the tie.

As European capitals continue to combat urban traffic hazards, Rome is implementing a notable speed limit reduction within its historic center. The new 30 kph (19 mph) limit aims to enhance safety and reduce pollution in a city renowned for its chaotic traffic.

Tensions simmer between the U.S. and Iran, with the latter threatening retaliation should the U.S. launch strikes. Meanwhile, Greenlandic and Danish officials anxiously observe discussions in Washington, which may shape the future of U.S.-Denmark relations concerning Greenland.
