Additionally, Biden proposed exploring the possibility of opening a maritime corridor to increase aid delivery, while Vice President Kamala Harris called for an immediate ceasefire in the region. Transitioning to the US political scene, Donald Trump secured wins in Republican presidential primaries in Missouri, Michigan, and Idaho, edging closer to officially clinching the nomination. Trump, at a rally, accused President Biden of orchestrating a conspiracy to overthrow the government, echoing his ongoing rhetoric. Project 2025, a plan reportedly designed by Trump and his allies, surfaced with dystopian proposals such as using the Insurrection Act to enforce martial law and overhauling the Department of Health and Human Services into the "Department of Life." In an alarming move, Trump invited Hungary's authoritarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban to Mar-a-Lago, highlighting their shared authoritarian tendencies.
