Amtrak Service Halted Between NYC-Boston For "Electric Power Issue"

An "ongoing electric power issue" suspended train service in the Northeast Corridor between Boston and New York City on Saturday afternoon, Amtrak wrote in a press release.

"Our crews are working hard to correct the issues," Amtrak said but did not explain the cause of the service disruption.

Amtrak noted that "this service interruption" will be in place for the "remainder of the day."

Over 60 Foreign Policy Experts Issue Letter Urging NATO Against Advancing Ukraine Membership

The United States is hosting this year's major annual NATO Summit in Washington DC on July 9,10, and 11. Heads of state, foreign ministers, and diplomats from across Europe will be in attendance, as will of course President Joe Biden.

A big question that remains is how far the alliance will go in encouraging Ukraine's ambitions to join. Currently the US is pushing the ambiguous language of offering Kiev a "bridge" to NATO while demanding reforms especially in the area of corruption. Zelensky is not happy, given that not even a timeline for membership appears to be on the table.

Still, there are enough hawks among Western leaders to present the possibility of launching Ukraine on an 'irreversible' path to membership, which many observers fear will only eventually trigger WW3 with Russia.
