President Volodymyr Zelenskyy hopes recent Middle East strikes by Iranian drones will finally greenlight a major U.S.-Ukraine joint production deal for interceptors, sensors, and air defenses.

Now, with Ukrainian teams assisting U.S. allies in Qatar, the UAE, and Saudi Arabia—and seven U.S. service members lost to Shaheds—the proposal gains fresh urgency, potentially bringing production, jobs, and stronger defenses.

Key Takeaway

A February 19 post claimed the couple is expecting their first child together, drawing over 21,000 likes, memes about their ages—Perry at 41, Trudeau at 53—and jokes from users like psychologist Gad Saad. Fact-checks confirm no evidence supports the pregnancy; the photo is real from Perry's vacation, but the caption is unverified rumor. Their relationship went public late last year with snaps from Tokyo and holidays, and sources say it's grown more serious since Trudeau stepped down as prime minister in 2025. Both have kids from prior marriages—Perry's daughter Daisy, 5, and Trudeau's three children—and they've stayed quiet amid the buzz.

Key Takeaway

A cozy skiing selfie of Katy Perry and Justin Trudeau lit up feeds with wild baby rumors. But no announcements from either mean it's all just fun speculation.

Mohamad Kassar, a Lebanese-born permanent resident convicted in 2018 of fentanyl trafficking and sentenced to 45 months, faced removal ordered in 2019 but won a temporary stay from Federal Court Justice Angus Grant on February 11.
