PRINCETON INSTALLS SECURITY

CAMERAS INDOORS, DESPITE PREVIOUS STATEMENT

Princeton has commenced its camera expansion project, which includes installing cameras inside residential entryways — a move that comes despite previous University statements indicating cameras would be added to building exteriors. The university’s Environmental, Safety, and Risk Management Committee first approved the project in December 2022.

BOWING TO PRESSURE, BIDEN RELENTS ON F-16S TO UKRAINE

U.S. President Joe Biden told allies at the Group of Seven summit in Hiroshima, Japan, that the United States would no longer block countries from supplying Ukraine with F-16 warplanes, paving the way for Ukraine to receive F-16s later this year as it continues to defend itself from Russia’s full-scale invasion of the country, per the Washington Post. With the move, Biden reversed his longtime stance that F-16s should not be supplied to Ukraine. The decision, however, does not mean that Ukraine will start using the F-16s in the battlefield immediately. Ukrainian pilots and mechanics will first need to receive appropriate training for the F-16s, before they will be allowed to start flying the warplanes in battle.

WITH HIS PARTY AHEAD IN ELECTIONS, GREEK LEADER CLAIMS ‘POLITICAL

EARTHQUAKE’

New Democracy, the party of Greece’s conservative prime minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis ’90, won the most votes in the country’s election on Sunday but fell short of winning the majority necessary to lead a one-party government in the country, per the New York Times. Despite the victory, Greece looks set for a second election after Mitsotakis said he would not seek to establish a coalition government. The center-left Syriza came in second place to Mitsotakis’ New Democracy with just over 20 percent of the vote. The election was another poor performance for Syriza, the party led by former Greek Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras.

Biden And Mccarthy Set To Resume Negotiations On Debt Limit

U.S. President Joe Biden and Speaker of the House Kevin McCarthy agreed on Sunday to meet Monday to restart negotiations in order to stave off the country from defaulting on its debt. Per the New York Times, the White House and Republican leadership have made little progress on negotiations to avoid a debt default as Republicans have insisted that Democrats agree to slash federal spending in return for raising the debt limit. The meeting will occur after Biden returns from the G-7 meeting, but the sides are running out of time to reach a deal as the debt ceiling is expected to be reached on June 1.

DEATH TOLL IN ITALY RISES AS FLOODS DEVASTATE FARMLAND, DISPLACE THOUSANDS

Devastating floods killed at least 13 people and displaced tens of thousands of people in northern Italy, prompting a national emergency response by the country’s authorities, per the Washington Post. The floods followed days of heavy rainfall in the region, submerging roads underwater and causing damage to infrastructure.
