U.S. and Ukraine partner on drones and Trump announces Hamas deal: Morning Rundown

Key Points:

• The U.S. has signed an agreement with Ukraine to receive Ukrainian-made combat drone technology for military testing, reflecting Ukraine’s emergence as a global leader in drones and addressing U.S. munitions shortages amid ongoing conflicts.
• President Trump announced a Hamas peace plan claiming "complete disarmament" of the group, but Israeli officials have rejected the proposed terms, making the plan’s success uncertain and dependent on Israel’s response.
• Trump threatened to withdraw his attorney general nominee Todd Blanche after GOP senators John Cornyn and Thom Tillis opposed the nomination due to concerns over Trump’s IRS settlement and Justice Department policies, with both senators criticizing the president’s approach.
• New college graduates face a tougher job market in 2026, with fewer entry-level positions available and fewer job offers despite increased applications, challenging the traditional view that a college degree guarantees immediate career advancement.
• Additional news includes the resignation of Seattle Police Chief Shon Barnes amid controversy, a 15-year prison sentence for a father linked to a school shooting, author Tomi Adeyemi’s departure from her book’s film set citing antagonism, and UEFA’s boycott of FIFA competitions over World Cup investment plans.
