In recent weeks, significant changes have occurred in the field of international security. This was reported by Zamin.uz. The United States Air Force has deployed B61-12 thermonuclear bombs at the Lakenheath (Suffolk) airbase in the UK for the first time. This was reported by the UK Defence Journal on July 20, based on an analysis by OSINTDefender. According to the information, the bombs were brought from the Kirtland airbase in New Mexico, USA, using a C-17A Globemaster aircraft. On July 17, this aircraft landed at the Suffolk airbase, carrying the first batch of B61-12 bombs intended for deployment in Europe. This information has not yet been confirmed by official sources. The US Department of Defense did not comment on the transfer of nuclear weapons, while the British Ministry of Defence stated that it generally does not comment on the presence of nuclear weapons at specific locations. Historically, during the Cold War, American nuclear bombs were stored at the Lakenheath airbase, but they were removed in 2008. If the return of the bombs is confirmed, it will be seen as a fundamental change in NATO's policy in Europe against the backdrop of tensions with Russia. The B61-12 bomb is the first guided and modern thermonuclear weapon in the US nuclear arsenal. This modification is the latest type in the B61 bomb family, which has been developed since the 1960s. In 2022, Politico reported that the US was rapidly replacing old nuclear weapons in Europe with modern ones. In 2023, the Pentagon announced plans to further modernize the B61-12 bombs due to "enhanced enemy threats," transitioning to the B61-13 version. Experts assess this step as the beginning of a new era of inequality among global nuclear powers. Analysts believe that this event will significantly impact the security balance in the European region and will initiate a new phase in relations between NATO and Russia. Any changes in the number and location of nuclear weapons will remain a source of serious challenges and new concerns for the entire world. Therefore, these processes are being closely monitored.

In America, significant changes are occurring in Donald Trump's position on foreign policy. This was reported by Zamin.uz. The main reason for these changes is the active involvement of his wife, Melania Trump. According to Republican Party representative Don Bacon, Melania Trump is playing an active role not only in family matters but also in political issues. According to Bacon, Melania Trump is constantly reminding Donald Trump of Russia's ongoing missile strikes against Ukraine, prompting him to reconsider his views. As a result, Trump has changed his previously soft statements, issuing an ultimatum to Moscow and demanding a halt to the strikes within 50 days. Earlier, Trump had faced criticism for trying to restore close ties with Russia. However, Melania's influence forced him to change this approach. Every morning, Melania demands that her husband comment on the events in Ukraine and calls for condemnation of Russia's actions. Political analysts are assessing this situation as unusual but effective. They believe that if the U.S. president changes his policy due to family pressure, it demonstrates how important personal relationships are in the democratic process. Currently, Trump is actively criticizing Russia and showing a firm resolve to resolve the conflict. Observers believe that Melania's personal influence is affecting not only the family but also the foreign policy of the entire country. This is a rare occurrence in American history. News related to the topic is generating widespread interest, and Melania's political influence may grow even larger in the future. Therefore, the "First Lady factor" in U.S. foreign policy may usher in a new era.
