The US Supreme Court has ruled that Trump's previous attempt to cancel part of the birthright citizenship executive order cannot continue to be enforced.

Trump stated at the White House that he participated in negotiations related to Iran, and an agreement to reopen the Strait of Hormuz may be reached soon, but negotiations are still ongoing.

Trump signed two executive orders requiring restrictions on certain children born in the United States obtaining citizenship, and allowing the refusal or revocation of visas related to reproductive tourism and permanent entry bans.

On the third day of Taiwan's Han Kuang Exercise, it entered the joint anti-landing phase. Taoyuan conducted Thunder 2000 multiple rocket artillery fire support drills, and the Kinmen Defense Command conducted live-fire shooting against sea and air targets.
