NOTE:
“Above 2% of GDP” is a reported projection. The official texts emphasize euro totals, the LPM envelope, and the planned 2026 to 2030 update, with delivery dependent on annual budgets.

US ambassador to Poland Thomas Rose announced on Twitter that the US side was "breaking off all contact" with Speaker of Parliament Włodzimierz Czarzasty (#2 person in Poland, after the President) over the latter's statement that - in his opinion - Donald Trump does not deserve the Nobel Peace Prize.
Thomas Rose subsequently proceeded to get into a weird and highly undiplomatic spat with random Twitter users commenting on his post, in which he - among others - threatened pulling US troops and equipment out of Poland. As of Friday morning, all those posts have been deleted.
This story is front-page news in Poland.

USAF Globemaster currently in holding pattern southwest of Frankfurt (Germany) squawking 7700 (ICAO code for "general emergency").
Edit: this pattern is consistent with a fuel dump prior to emergency landing. If this were a serious emergency, they'd likely want to get back on the ground ASAP. Likely a nothingburger, but who knows...
