President Donald Trump, Secretary of State Marco Rubio, and Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth appeared together during the NATO Summit in Ankara, Turkey on July 8, 2026. The Logoff, a daily newsletter, reported on the US administration's current state, which remains largely quiet following a significant defeat in the midterms. There are indications of potential changes in the Cabinet, such as resignations or firings, especially as Democrats take control of Congress.
