The United States has launched “Project Freedom” to guide stranded commercial ships through the Strait of Hormuz, establishing a new security zone and warning of possible mines in the waterway. Iran has responded by saying any foreign military presence in the strait will be targeted. The narrow shipping route handles roughly one-fifth of the world’s oil, making it a critical global energy chokepoint. The move comes as ceasefire talks remain stalled and no peace agreement has been reached, with tensions continuing to disrupt maritime traffic and global energy markets.

Trump Threatens to Pull Troops out of Spain and Italy

WASHINGTON, May 1 (Reuters) - The United States is withdrawing 5,000 troops from NATO ally Germany, the Pentagon announced on Friday, as a rift over the Iran war widens between President Donald Trump and Europe. Trump had threatened a drawdown in forces earlier this week after sparring with German Chancellor Friedrich Merz, who said on Monday the Iranians were humiliating the U.S. in talks to end the two-month-old war. A senior Pentagon official, speaking on condition of anonymity, said recent German rhetoric had been "inappropriate and unhelpful." "The president is rightly reacting to these counterproductive remarks," the official said. The Pentagon said the withdrawal was expected to be completed over the next six to twelve months. The official said the drawdown would bring U.S. troop levels in Europe back to roughly pre-2022 levels, before Russia's invasion of Ukraine triggered a buildup by then President Joe Biden. A brigade combat team now in Germany will be pulled out of the country and a long-range fires battalion that the Biden administration had planned to begin deploying to Germany later this year will no longer deploy, the official said. Germany is the U.S. military's biggest basing location in Europe, with some 35,000 active-duty military personnel, and serves as a key training hub. Trump has singled out Germany even as he has harshly criticized other NATO allies for not sending their navies to help open the Strait of Hormuz during the conflict. The waterway, a chokepoint for global oil shipments, has remained virtually shut, causing market turmoil and unprecedented disruption in energy supplies. Merz has said Germans and Europeans were not consulted before the U.S. and Israel started attacking Iran on February 28, and that he had conveyed his scepticism about the conflict directly to Trump afterwards. "The president has been very clear about his frustrations about our allies' rhetoric and failure to provide support for U.S. operations that benefit them," the senior Pentagon official said.

The head of the European Parliament trade committee calls President Donald Trump’s tariff hike on European Union automobiles “unacceptable.” Committee Chair Bernd Lange says the Trump administration “keeps breaking its commitments,” including on import taxes for steel and aluminum products. Trump said Friday he'll increase the tariffs charged on cars and trucks from the EU next week to 25%, which could jolt the world economy. The Republican president says the EU is not complying with a fully agreed to trade deal, though he hasn't fleshed out his objections. Trump and European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen had agreed to the trade deal last July. It set a 15% tariff on most goods.

Jurors found Republican David Rivera and an associate guilty on all counts, including failing to register as a foreign agent with the Justice Department and conspiracy to commit money laundering as part of its work for former President Nicolás Maduro’s government. The seven-week trial offered a rare glimpse into Miami’s role as a crossroads for foreign influence campaigns aimed at shaping U.S. policy toward Latin America.
