- President Joe Biden is contemplating Australia's request to cease the long-standing U.S. effort to prosecute Wikileaks founder Julian Assange for revealing American classified documents.

Quick Glance: Former US Ambassador Sentenced for Spying for Cuba
- Former US ambassador Manuel Rocha was sentenced to 15 years in prison after admitting to working as a secret agent for Cuba for decades.
- Rocha accepted the penalty and paid a $500,000 fine after pleading guilty to acting on behalf of a foreign government.
- The swift criminal case avoided a trial that would have revealed the extent of Rocha's assistance to Cuba while working for the US State Department for twenty years.
- The sophistication of Cuban intelligence services was highlighted as Rocha's double-crossing went undetected for years, demonstrating his secret meetings with Cuban operatives and provision of false information to US officials.
