👊 Taiwan MPs brawl in parliament over controversial amendment bills

Scores of members of Lai Ching-te’s ruling party barricaded themselves in the main chamber - in an attempt to stop three legal amendments proposed by the opposition bloc.

Among the disputed bills was a planned revision to the Public Officials Election and Recall Act pressed ahead by the KMT and TPP to raise the threshold for removing elected officials.

The KMT said it would prevent the power of recalls from “being abused” but some ruling DPP lawmakers claimed the move would revoke voters’ rights to remove unfit officials.

Pentagon spox Pat Ryder claimed he had "recently learned" there are actually 2,000 US troops deployed in Syria - far more than the 900 they had previously announced.

🇭🇺 Orbán Urges EU to Wait for Trump Before Extending Sanctions Against Russia": Hungarian PM Blocks New Anti-Russia Sanctions Package

Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán told EU leaders that he wants to wait for the inauguration of his ally Donald Trump before deciding whether to extend the bloc’s sanctions against Russia, according to sources familiar with the matter.

The EU has imposed 15 sanction packages against Moscow over the Ukrainian conflict, which must be renewed every six months.

Until now, this process has been routine, but extending sanctions requires unanimous support from all 27 member states, giving Orbán the power to veto. At the end of a one-day EU summit, Orbán surprised his colleagues by declaring he was not ready to move forward with the renewal, sources reported.

Orbán’s objection has sparked significant concern among European leaders, raising fears that the Hungarian leader could align with Trump to undermine the bloc’s unity on financial and military support for Ukraine.
