WASHINGTON/NEW YORK — The final holiday weekend of 2025 has been thrown into chaos as two major stories break simultaneously. In the United States, Winter Storm Devin is crippling holiday travel, while overseas, the U.S. military has launched its most significant operation of the year in West Africa.
1. The Fury of Storm Devin
More than 40 million Americans are currently under winter storm warnings. Heavy snow and freezing rain have snared major hubs in the Northeast and Great Lakes regions. In New York, Governor Kathy Hochul has urged residents to stay off the roads as visibility drops to near-zero in some counties.
2. US Strikes in Nigeria
On orders from President Donald Trump, the U.S. Armed Forces launched coordinated airstrikes on over 70 locations in Sokoto State, Nigeria today. The strikes targeted entrenched Islamic State (ISIS) camps. This massive escalation follows reports of rising threats to non-combatants in the region. Casualties are confirmed, though exact numbers remain under investigation.
3. The "Zelenskyy Meeting" Countdown
Amidst the domestic storms, preparations are finalizing for tomorrow's high-stakes meeting between President Trump and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy. Russia has already signaled its rejection of the proposed "20-point peace plan," heightening tensions ahead of the Sunday summit in Florida.
