1. Fed holds rates as four officials dissent over war risks
-- The Federal Reserve left rates at 3.5% to 3.75%, while Bloomberg reported four dissents, the most since 1992, as policymakers split over the economic fallout from the Iran war.
-- The decision keeps credit conditions tight while higher oil prices feed inflation pressure and pushes traders to reassess the path for 2027 policy.
2. Trump presses Putin on Ukraine while rejecting Iran nuclear-material offer
-- Bloomberg reported that Trump urged Vladimir Putin to conclude the Ukraine war and rejected Putin's offer to help secure Iran's nuclear material.
-- The exchange links two major negotiation tracks and signals Washington is keeping control of the Iran file as the Hormuz blockade and nuclear issues remain unresolved.
3. Pentagon weighs outsourcing warship design to Korea and Japan
-- War Monitor cited U.S. officials saying the Pentagon is considering a $1.85 billion feasibility study on outsourcing warship design and construction to Korea and Japan.
-- The proposal points to industrial-capacity strain inside the U.S. shipbuilding base as Washington expands defense plans during simultaneous Middle East and Indo-Pacific pressures.
4. Britain moves toward under-16 social-media ban
-- Reclaim the Net reported Britain is advancing a consultation on banning social media use by children under 16, adding to a wider push for age-verification rules.
-- The measure would expand state-backed identity and platform-access controls, sharpening the privacy tradeoff around online-safety regulation.
5. OpenAI faces U.S. lawsuit from families of Canadian mass-shooting victims
-- Reuters reported families of Canadian mass-shooting victims sued OpenAI and CEO Sam Altman in U.S. court.
-- The case adds to legal pressure over AI-system liability and could become another test of how courts treat alleged downstream harms tied to generative AI tools.
