- President Trump demanded a total trade cutoff with Spain at the NATO summit, raising concerns about US-European relations.
- Spain's compliance with NATO's 2% GDP defense spending target eased tensions after the leaders' informal summit meeting.
- Legally, Trump could use IEEPA authority to impose trade restrictions following a declared national emergency involving Spain.

- The Supreme Court is considering the constitutionality of birthright citizenship, which grants automatic citizenship to anyone born in the U.S.
- The Trump Administration claims the policy encourages illegal immigration and birth tourism, but faces strong judicial skepticism.
- Historical debates and legal precedents largely support a narrow interpretation of the 14th Amendment with limited exceptions.
- A majority of the Justices currently appear inclined to uphold the established right and reject drastic changes.
Ask any American what our citizenship rule is and they’ll tell you everyone born here is a citizen alike. That rule was enshrined in the Fourteenth Amendment to put it out of the reach of any government official to destroy.— Cecillia Wang, legal director of the American Civil Liberties Union, as quoted in The New Yorker
