🇨🇳🇹🇼 According to Reuters, China proposed peaceful reunification with Taiwan in exchange for LNG supplies, but Taipei rejected the offer and plans to expand gas imports from the United States.

A Chinese Taiwan Affairs official said reunification would better ensure the island’s energy security with support from the strong homeland, and promised stable resource supplies for Taiwan.

Taiwan’s leadership responded that it has secured alternative energy sources for the coming months, including increased U.S. LNG purchases, and does not rely on China for energy.

🇺🇸 In November, a quiet dispute reportedly erupted between FBI Director Kash Patel and National Counterterrorism Center chief Joe Kent, linked to the investigation into the killing of conservative activist Charlie Kirk.

Patel allegedly objected to Kent reviewing FBI materials related to the 22-year-old suspect, Tyler Robinson. While intelligence agencies were coordinating on the case, Patel was reportedly frustrated by efforts to pursue a possible foreign angle, pushed by Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard.

At the time, conservative activist Candace Owens publicly accused Patel of undermining colleagues and obstructing cooperation. Some even claimed he had become part of the “establishment” and was covering up external interference.

The issue is unlikely to escalate into a major scandal, but it could further erode trust within parts of the conservative base toward Trump’s team. By the end of Trump’s term, the MAGA movement may be split into two competing camps, each vying for influence.

🇺🇦 An IMF mission has arrived in Ukraine for talks with the country’s leadership, amid a lack of parliamentary votes needed to pass legislation tied to continued funding.

The Fund said discussions will focus on macroeconomic policy and key structural reforms.

The government has pledged to pass a tax increase bill by the end of March, but parliament has not approved it. Lawmakers say they do not want to back unpopular measures agreed by the cabinet without proper consultation.

There is also speculation that some deputies are using the vote to pressure authorities to halt anti-corruption investigations targeting them.

🇦🇪 Operations at Abu Dhabi’s Shah gas plant have been halted after a drone strike, disrupting one of the world’s largest ultra-sour gas facilities and raising concerns over energy and fertiliser supply chains.

According to reporting by The National, operations were suspended while damage is assessed. No injuries were reported.

The plant, operated by ADNOC Sour Gas (a joint venture between ADNOC and Occidental Petroleum), is the world’s largest ultra-sour gas processing facility and supplies roughly 20% of the UAE’s gas demand. It also produces significant volumes of sulphur, a key input for phosphate fertilisers and industrial chemicals.

The shutdown is expected to add pressure to already strained global fertiliser markets, amid wider regional tensions affecting energy and shipping routes, including the Strait of Hormuz.

🇸🇮💬🇮🇱 Slovenia: Intelligence Report Alleges Israeli Firm Black Cube in Foreign Election Interference Probe as Pressure Builds on SDS and Janez Janša

Slovenian authorities say an intelligence report reviewed by the national security secretariat indicates direct foreign interference in the country’s election campaign, with officials adding that the operation was “in all likelihood” conducted on orders from within Slovenia. State Secretary Vojko Volk said the assessment, presented by the head of the intelligence service, points to coordinated activity timed ahead of the vote.

According to authorities, Black Cube representatives visited Slovenia several times in recent months, including a December trip now under scrutiny. Officials say the methods described — use of false identities, staged meetings, and rapid removal of digital traces — match patterns previously attributed to the firm in other international cases.

The government says the timing and nature of the operation raise serious concerns about attempts to influence the democratic process. Police have launched an investigation, established a special task force, and are coordinating with foreign partners to determine the origin and purpose of the recordings circulating online.

The controversy has intensified scrutiny of the opposition Slovenian Democratic Party (SDS) and its leader Janez Janša, who deny involvement and have announced legal action in response to the allegations. Authorities argue the case highlights vulnerabilities to external influence campaigns targeting elections in EU member states.

With the vote taking place this Sunday, the intelligence findings have become a central issue in Slovenia’s political debate, intensifying concerns about foreign interference, covert operations, and transparency during the campaign.
