U.S. President Donald Trump addressed his administration's record in a CBS 60 Minutes interview following midterm election defeats for the Republican Party. Evaluating his border security policy, Trump stated he earned an "A+" grade for closing the border, but acknowledged enforcement was sometimes overly strict, noting that deporting individuals who should have remained damaged his political standing.

Trump also defended his economic policies and actions regarding Iran, while conceding communication shortcomings on the economy. Shortly after the broadcast, administration personnel reshuffles were announced. Republican losses expanded to over 40 House seats and at least seven Senate seats.

Despite initially promising to accept the election outcome, Trump subsequently posted messages on social media questioning whether the vote was "fair," citing polling inaccuracies and high early voting turnouts.

US Representative Thomas Massie has introduced articles of impeachment against Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, setting up a potential vote in the House of Representatives within two days. The resolution follows Republican losses in the US midterm elections and mounting pressure over the administration's military campaign in Iran. Massie, a persistent Republican critic of President Donald Trump who has repeatedly clashed with the administration, presented the charges on Monday.

Hegseth dismissed the action, calling the impeachment attempt an "attack on Trump" and stating that the administration would make no apologies regarding its military strategy in Iran. Despite the filing, political analysts observe that the resolution has virtually no chance of securing sufficient support to pass in Congress.

Trilateral discussions involving Ukrainian, American, and Russian representatives have begun in Abu Dhabi. United States officials cited a "real chance" for progress toward ending the war, though European representatives expressed skepticism over Russia's commitment. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy rejected any proposal requiring Ukrainian troops to withdraw from Donbas, stating international pressure should target Moscow instead of Kyiv.

Separately, Polish Defence Minister Władysław Kosiniak-Kamysz stated that talks with US Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth yielded positive outcomes regarding a permanent US military presence in Poland. Concurrently, Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk faces growing domestic challenges following controversial leadership changes at the Constitutional Tribunal.

The 24-year-old suspect in the Krakow mass shooting, identified as Michal O., died in hospital on Monday after being critically wounded by police officers during his arrest.

Authorities confirmed that before opening fire from a car on Krakow's main square on Saturday—killing six people and injuring at least 15 others—the suspect killed his parents and sister at the family home. Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk described the discovery at the residence as "the next act of this tragedy" during an emergency crisis meeting.

Police revealed that the suspect was a licensed gun club member who carried out the attack using a civilian semi-automatic rifle. Polish President Karol Nawrocki declared Sunday and Monday as days of national mourning across the country while law enforcement continues searching for a motive.
