As Secretary of State Rubio flew to Sweden to meet his 32 NATO counterparts...

President Trump issued a message on Truth Social canceling an earlier announcement that some 4,000 U.S.

troops would not be deployed as planned on a rotation to Poland.

Instead, Trump said 5,000 would be sent to Poland.

While the reversal was welcomed by Rubio's European counterparts, he warned them reductions are in fact coming.

Rubio said he could not share details of what capabilities or forces the U.S.

would cut in Europe, as that's handled by the Pentagon.

A day after NATO jets scrambled and shot down a Ukrainian drone that had flown into Estonian airspace, Lithuania put its capital on high alert for another one, sending people into air raid shelters.

These are just the most recent incidents of Ukrainian drones flying off course.

which Baltic leaders blame on Russian electronic warfare, while Moscow accuses the frontline states of becoming participants in the conflict, a claim flatly dismissed by NATO chief Mark Rutte.

European Union leaders also issued sharp warnings to Russia and its ally Belarus that they bear full responsibility for any consequences to public safety caused by redirecting the drones.

Peter Magyar has been sworn in as the new Hungarian Prime Minister after his Tisza party saw a landslide victory last month in parliamentary elections.

In a speech upon taking the oath, Magyar said he would not rule over Hungary, but serve it.

Magyar formed his own party in 2020 after leaving Orbán's ruling Fidesz party.

Tisza won 141 of the 200 seats in the parliament last month.

The flag of the European Union, shunned by his predecessor, is again hanging in the Hungarian parliament building.

Brussels hopes to restore good relations after years of tension with Orban.

European Council President Antonio Costa calls it a new chapter in Hungarian history and says the EU is ready to work with the new government.
