Prominent figures from across the media, business and political landscapes showed up as guests to President Donald Trump’s State of the Union address on Tuesday evening.

Notable attendees included Erika Kirk, the widowed wife of conservative activist Charlie Kirk, David Ellison, the media mogul and CEO of Paramount, and Kevin O’Leary, the Shark Tank media personality and businessman.

Several of the more notable attendees were highlighted by Trump during his address.

Kirk received a mention from the president as he condemned political violence of all kinds in his address.

“We must all come together to reaffirm that America is one nation under God, and we must totally reject political violence of any kind,” Trump said.

Charlie Kirk, who was just 31-years-old at the time of his death, was killed by a gunman on Sept. 10, 2025, while conducting a political debate event at Utah Valley University.

The U.S. men’s hockey team also made an appearance on Tuesday, receiving praise from Trump fresh off their gold medal victory in the 2026 Winter Olympic Games.

“Congratulations to team U.S.A.,” Trump said as the players streamed into the chamber during the address.

Trump also highlighted guests brought by others, like First Lady Melania Trump. She invited 10-year-old Everest Nevraumont, a youth advocate for education through artificial intelligence.

“I challenge keeping America’s next generation positioned to succeed and strongly succeed in the future,” Trump said.

Trump also used guests like Enrique Márquez, a former political prisoner of Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro, to remind audiences of his international achievements under his second administration.

In early 2026, the U.S. stormed Venezuela’s capitol city and captured Maduro, giving Trump newfound leverage in negotiations over the country’s future.

“We’re working closely with the new president of Venezuela to unleash extraordinary economic gains for both of our countries,” Trump said.

The White House reunited Márquez with his family at the State of the Union.

Trump also awarded the Purple Heart to Staff Sergeant Andrew Wolfe and deceased Army Specialist Sarah Beckstrom, two National Guard members who were critically injured and fatally shot by a gunman who ambushed them while on duty last year in Washington, D.C.

“I’m going to ask a highly respected General James Seward to present Staff Sergeant Andrew Wolfe and the great family of Sarah Beckstrom, with the award created by our late, great president, George Washington himself,” Trump, who invited her parents as his State of the Union guests, said. “It’s called the Purple Heart. We love you all.”

As Trump spoke, Major General James “Jim” D. Seward, Adjutant General of the West Virginia National Guard, presented Specialist Beckstrom’s medal to her parents and pinned the Purple Heart on Staff Sergeant Wolfe in the viewing gallery above.

Guests like O’Leary and Ellison did not receive a shoutout from the president, but mingled with multiple lawmakers.

O’Leary, primarily known for his television presence on ABC’s Shark Tank, owns companies like O’Leary Ventures and O’Leary Fine Wines.

In recent years, O’Leary has surfaced as a political commentator, giving his thoughts on the effectiveness of political party messaging, voter sentiments and more.

Ellison is the current chairman and CEO of Paramount Skydance Corporation keeps a relatively low political profile but, in the past, has made several high-dollar donations to many Democratic candidates despite now calling himself a friend of President Trump.

Trump has boasted publicly about a personal relationship with Ellison.

Most recently, Ellison has made headlines for his attempt to purchase Warner Bros. Discovery — a move that would solidify Ellison and Paramount as titans in the media world.

He was seen walking into the House of Representatives on Tuesday alongside Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., who invited him.

“Honored to have David Ellison as my guest to POTUS’ State of the Union address this evening,” Graham said in a post to X.

• DHS denies ICE presence at polling locations during elections
• ICE may appear at polls only for public safety threats
• Trump’s immigration campaign criticized by activists and Democrats

WASHINGTON, Feb 25 (Reuters) – The U.S. Department of Homeland Security said on Wednesday it was not planning immigration operations targeting polling locations during this year’s midterm election, after an official made similar comments to state election officials earlier in the day.

The department, which has virtual oversight for immigration, joined the federal Election Assistance Commission and other agencies for a virtual briefing on Wednesday with state election officials.

During that call, Heather Honey, a deputy assistant secretary for election integrity at the U.S. Department of Homeland Security, told state officials, “Any suggestion that ICE will be present at any polling location is simply not true,” according to Arizona Secretary of State Adrian Fontes.

Maine Secretary of State Shenna Bellows said during a briefing it would be unconstitutional for the Trump administration to deploy Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) to the polls.

The comment was in response to California Secretary of State Shirley Weber’s question about whether or not states would be alerted to immigration operations at polling sites, her office said.

A Homeland Security official told Reuters it is possible that ICE would have to appear at a polling location “if an active public safety threat endangered” that location. The official said an arrest would have to be carried out as a result of targeted enforcement action.

The U.S. will hold its midterm elections for gubernatorial, congressional and other offices on Nov. 3. Primary races start next month to determine which candidates will be their parties’ standard bearers.

The election will be held as President Donald Trump embarks on an aggressive immigration campaign. That campaign, which has been decried by immigrant activists and Democrats, has resulted in crackdowns led by masked federal immigration agents.

朝鲜劳动党九大闭幕 金正恩在阅兵式上宣布扩充核武器 | 联合早报

发布/2026年2月26日 11:23

朝鲜领导人金正恩宣布，他将致力于扩大朝鲜的核武库，并称改善朝鲜与美国关系的前景完全取决于华盛顿的态度。

路透社引述朝鲜中央通讯社星期四（2月26日）的报道说，为期一周的朝鲜劳动党第九次代表大会25日在首都平壤金日成广场举行的阅兵式后闭幕。金正恩指出，随着朝鲜制定未来五年的主要政策目标，“国际地位显著提升”。他说：“我们计划加强国家核力量，并确立核国家地位与行使权力。我们将重点推进增加核武器数量和扩大核作战手段的项目。”

新华社引述金正恩说，在亚太地区，以美国为首的侵略集团军事活动严重威胁朝鲜半岛和地区安全。扩大和加强国家核力量，彻底行使核国家地位，是朝鲜坚定不移的意志。朝鲜的核国家地位在遏制潜在威胁、维护地区稳定方面发挥着重要作用，国家核力量是国家安全、利益和发展权的基本保证和强有力的安全机制。

他说，为在新五年计划期间提升朝鲜武装力量的军事技术能力，朝鲜提出了新的秘密武器和特殊战略资产在朝军服役的重大课题，研究制定新的国防发展计划，并批准了前瞻性计划。

据斯德哥尔摩国际和平研究所（SIPRI）去年估计，朝鲜已组装约50枚核弹头，拥有足以制造多达40枚核弹头的裂变材料，并且正在加速生产更多裂变材料。朝中社报道称，金正恩还阐述了朝鲜发展更强大的洲际弹道导弹的计划，包括水下发射导弹、利用人工智能的攻击系统以及无人机。

金正恩：韩国为“最具敌意的敌人”

朝鲜官方媒体发布的阅兵式照片显示，士兵们列队行进在灯火通明的金日成广场上，金正恩及其女儿与高级官员站在讲台上。一些士兵身着迷彩服和特种作战装备，一队战机进行了飞行表演。目前尚不清楚是否有任何军事装备展出。金正恩的女儿金珠爱出席阅兵式，将进一步引发外界对她是否获培养为金正恩接班人的猜测。

金正恩也说，如果美国撤回对朝敌视政策，朝鲜没有理由不与美国友好相处。如果美国不改变对朝一贯做法，坚持对抗到底，朝鲜也将坚决予以应对。“朝美关系前景完全取决于美方态度。”

在美国总统特朗普的第一任期内，特金曾三度会面；而在特朗普第二任期至今，金正恩并未接受特朗普提出的邀约。

此外，金正恩称韩国为“最具敌意的敌人”，排除与韩国对话的可能，还说若韩国对朝鲜有“恶劣行径”，朝鲜可以采取任意行动。他说：“不排除韩国彻底崩溃的可能性。”

U.S. women’s hockey star Kelly Pannek reiterates team missed State of the Union over logistical challenges, not Trump joke

February 25, 2026 / 7:38 PM EST / CBS News

Minneapolis — A member of the Olympic gold medal-winning U.S. women’s hockey team indicated to CBS News on Tuesday that her team’s absence from President Trump’s State of the Union address was due to logistical challenges and not the controversy surrounding a joke Mr. Trump made while on a video call with the U.S. men’s team.

“I know, like, later on, there’ll be a full invite for all Team USA athletes to go to the White House like there has been in the past,” decorated U.S. women’s hockey veteran Kelly Pannek told CBS News during a practice with her pro team in Minneapolis.

Asked if she wants the women’s team to receive their own White House invite, Pannek responded, “We want it to be about how great of an experience it was for us. You know, having team gold medals come out of USA hockey. It’s something we’ve never done before.”

While both the men’s and women’s teams returned from the Milano Cortina Games with gold medals — both thanks to 2-1 overtime wins over Canada — their celebrations have been entirely different.

The U.S. men received a hero’s welcome Tuesday, as the U.S. Air Force flew them from Miami to Joint Base Andrews before the players were hosted at the White House by Mr. Trump. They were then brought into the House Chamber to tumultuous applause during his State of the Union address.

During his address, the president also made the surprising announcement that he would be awarding U.S. goalkeeper Connor Hellebuyck the Medal of Freedom, the nation’s highest civilian honor, for his heroics that helped secure the U.S. men their first gold medal since the 1980 “Miracle on Ice” team.

On Monday, meanwhile, the U.S. women’s team said it had declined an invitation to attend the State of the Union, with a spokesperson stating the athletes had “previously scheduled academic and professional commitments.” Several members of the women’s team were already back on the ice this week, practicing for their various professional and college teams.

On a video call Sunday with Mr. Trump from the U.S. men’s locker room after defeating Canada, the president suggested he would fly the men’s team to Washington to meet with him at the White House, and then joked, “I must tell you, we’re gonna have to bring the women’s team, you do know that?” The comment drew a large laugh from the players in the room.

Mr. Trump then joked again on the call that he “probably would be impeached” if he failed to invite the women’s team.

Amid the fallout over the call, U.S. men’s backup goalie Jeremy Swayman, a member of the Boston Bruins, told reporters Wednesday that his team “should have reacted differently” to Mr. Trump’s comments.

“We know that we are so excited for the women’s team, we have so much respect for the women’s team,” Swayman said. “To share that gold medal with them is something that we’re forever grateful for.”

Pannek reiterated Swayman’s remarks, saying the two teams “felt like” one family while in Italy, and have nothing but mutual admiration for one another.

“It really did feel like that, you know, full team USA. And that’s part of the great thing about being at the Olympics.”

Independent Sen. Bernie Sanders and Republican Sen. Markwayne Mullin were involved in a heated back and forth during a Senate hearing Tuesday that sparked immediate reactions across social media.

“Everybody we bring up here, you guys chastised for trying to make changes,” Mullin said during a Senate Committee on Health, Education, Labor and Pensions hearing Wednesday. The committee was discussing issues with Obamacare during a hearing on the nomination of Casey Means as U.S. surgeon general.

“God forbid we change and try to fix our broken system,” Mullin continued. “Anyway, I ranted too long.”

As Mullin was attempting to return to the topic, he was cut off by Sanders, who said, “Yes, you did.”

Mullin responded, “I’m sorry. I didn’t ask your opinion on that, and if I cared about your opinion I would ask you. But I don’t care about your opinion. You’re part of the system. You’re part of the problem. You’ve been sitting here longer than I’ve even been alive. This is your problem. You should have fixed this a long time ago. You’ve been railing on it for so long. What have you been doing?”

Sanders responded by sarcastically saying, “I decided not to run for surgeon general, You’re the nominee I’ve decided.”

“That is definitely something we would never accept,” Mullin said before moving on.

The exchange was quickly picked up by conservatives on social media, including from “Charlie Kirk Show” executive producer Andrew Kolvet, who wrote in a post on X that “things did not end well for the octogenarian socialist” after he took a “cheap shot” at Mullin.

“That’s what his commie supporters can’t figure out,” comedian Tim Young posted on X.”Bernie has been in office so long that he should have solved their problems by now.”

“Finally,” journalist Anna Matson posted on X. “Someone put Bernie Sanders in his place. He’s all talk and no action. He’s been in office longer than I’ve been alive and he has nothing to show for it.”

“Swamp being DRAINED,” political and sports commentator Dan Dakich posted on X.

“HOLY SMOKES,” conservative journalist Eric Daughterty posted on X. “Sen. Markwayne Mullin just PUMMELED Bernie Sanders to his FACE.”

Senate clashes involving Sanders and Mullin have been increasingly common in recent years, including a viral moment in 2023 when Mullin and Teamsters President Sean O’Brien almost came to blows during an exchange Sanders was in the middle of.

In December, the two clashed on the Senate floor, also over Obamacare, in an exchange that Mullin posted on X in which he referred to Sanders as “The Grinch” and said the Vermont senator “blocked our bipartisan bill, the Mikaela Naylon Give Kids a Chance Act, to give kids fighting cancer more treatment options.”

伊朗外长：伊朗已将导弹射程限制在2000公里以内 | 联合早报

伊朗外交部长阿拉格齐反驳了美方所谓伊朗正在研发能打到美国的远程导弹的说法，表示伊朗已将导弹射程限制在2000公里以内。

伊朗迈赫尔通讯社星期三（2月25日）报道说，阿拉格齐当天接受《今日印度》报采访时说，有关伊朗正在研发能够打到美国的远程导弹的说法是“假新闻”，特朗普是“假新闻”的受害者。他指出，伊朗已经特意将导弹射程限制在2000公里以内，这些导弹纯粹用于防御和威慑，而非构成全球威胁。

阿拉格齐说，伊朗的导弹计划旨在维护国家安全，并以去年6月的战争为例，说明伊朗当时是在自卫。他指责以色列和美国挑起战争，且以色列是该地区唯一寻求冲突的国家。伊朗将继续保持防御能力。

阿拉格齐说，伊朗认为美国的政策是建立在误解和外部影响下形成的，而不是与伊朗直接对话的结果。他说，美国对伊朗的看法并非基于直接了解，而是基于外部叙事，“因为他们对伊朗和伊朗人民一无所知，他们被虚假信息和宣传所蒙蔽，而这些宣传大多来自以色列游说团体”。

新华社引述报道说，阿拉格齐进一步指出，如果美国改变政策，伊朗仍愿开启关系发展的新路径，“对话的唯一途径是用尊重的语言与伊朗人民对话，如果他们尝试这种语言，他们就会看到结果。我们也会用同样的语言与他们对话”。

阿拉格齐25日抵达瑞士日内瓦，将于星期四（26日）与美国代表就伊朗核计划举行第三轮间接谈判。美国总统特朗普星期二（24日）称：“他们（伊朗）已研制出能够威胁欧洲和我们海外基地的导弹，并且正在研制很快能打到美国的导弹。”

欧盟：美国新关税或高于协议15%上限 涉42亿欧元商品

发布/2026年2月26日 09:52

据欧洲联盟对税率的评估，按美国的新关税计划，欧洲商品面临的关税高于欧美贸易协议所设的15%上限。 （法新社）

美国总统特朗普的新关税计划将使约42亿欧元(62.63亿新元)的欧洲联盟出口商品面临的关税高于欧美贸易协议所设的15%上限。

据了解欧盟税率评估的知情人士指出，特朗普的新政策将把奶酪、黄油、部分农产品，以及若干塑料制品、纺织品和化学品在内的欧洲出口商品关税升至高于协议允许的最高水平。

彭博社引述因讨论未公开消息而要求匿名的知情人士说，另一些商品如部分烈酒的税率将低于15%。

在美国最高法院裁定特朗普无权依据紧急状态法在全球范围内征收所谓“对等关税”后，特朗普旋即宣布新的10%全球关税，他随后威胁将税率提高至15%，但尚未正式落实。

这一关税是在所谓“最惠国待遇”税率基础上额外征收，可以持续五个月。

问及此事时，欧洲委员会发言人奥洛夫·吉尔（Olof Gill）重申2月24日的声明称，“欧盟产品必须继续享有最具竞争力的待遇，关税不得超过先前商定的明确且全面的上限。”

吉尔还指出，在新的美国关税机制下，约7%的欧盟出口将面临高于15%上限的税率。
