On the second day of her visit to the United States, former President Tsai Ing-wen met with Pelosi, the former Democratic speaker of the House of Representatives, at her hotel. Pelosi praised Tsai Ing-wen on Facebook as a brave defender of democracy. The two sides talked about Taiwan-US relations and world changes. Tsai Ing-wen also presented a silk scarf from a Taiwanese designer as a souvenir.

North Korean leader Kim Jong-un sent a letter to Russian President Vladimir Putin to congratulate him on his birthday on the 7th. In the letter, he promised that North Korea would continue to support Russia and called the war launched by Russia in Ukraine "sacred." North Korea's official media "Korean Central News Agency" reported that Kim Jong-un emphasized that he maintained good friendship with Putin and reiterated his confidence in Russia's victory. Since Russia invaded Ukraine in 2022, North Korea has become an important ally of Russia, sending troops to support war operations in exchange for economic benefits and military technology. South Korean intelligence agencies estimate that about 2,000 North Korean soldiers were killed in the Russia-Ukraine conflict, and recent estimates put the number of dead or injured at about 6,000. Kim Jong-un sent the letter at a time when relations between Ukraine and South Korea were tense. Ukrainian President Zelensky revealed that two captured North Korean soldiers had been handed over to South Korea. South Korea accused Ukraine of leaking important information. This matter complicated Ukraine's request for South Korea to provide weapons, because South Korea has not yet provided lethal weapons to Ukraine on the grounds that its law prohibits the provision of military assistance to belligerent countries.

Several ASEAN members have increased bilateral engagement with Myanmar recently, prompting analyst concerns that such moves could undermine efforts to end the country's civil war. This comes amid a repatriation scheme under which 1,479 returnees were transported from Malaysia via two navy warships and a hospital ship, a program criticized by human rights groups and the UN refugee agency.

After a US soldier stationed in Okinawa was arrested on suspicion of robbing and killing a Japanese woman at a hotel in Naha City, Okinawa Prefecture, Watson, the top commander of the US military stationed in Okinawa, ordered a 30-day travel restriction for all personnel starting from the 9th, and suspended daily duties for disciplinary training. During this period, drinking and going out outside of duty hours were prohibited. The Japanese government has lodged a strong protest with the United States.

The FBI arrested a Chinese woman named Zhang Wanying who was suspected of spying on Lai Ting, the son of Taiwan President Lai Ching-te, and his family for the Chinese government. Former U.S. Vice President Mike Pence said that China is the biggest economic and strategic threat facing the United States in the 21st century. The Wall Street Journal editorial pointed out that this incident was the latest evidence of Chinese espionage, saying that Beijing's actions harmed U.S. interests and failed to act as a force for world peace.

During an inspection at a Maryland shipyard, U.S. President Trump said that the United States bears almost all the responsibility alone in the conflict with Iran, and that global allies have shifted the burden to the United States. He criticized allies for being unwilling to fund or send ships to assist, emphasizing that the United States is willing to take responsibility and thus becomes stronger, while other countries become weaker.
