White House reveals ‘evolving intelligence’ as Biden jets to Europe

US President Joe Biden says Vladimir Putin is strongly considering deploying chemical weapons in his invasion of neighbouring Ukraine

Biden says Moscow is leaning on false claims that Kyiv is storing its own biological and chemical weapons setting up new false flags as a pretext to using its own.

The US President was speaking at a Business Round Table Event where he also spoke of these uncertain times and the future emergence of a “New World Order”

It comes as the White House delivers its strongest indication yet that Russia is exploring the use of cyber-attacks, potentially targeting critical infrastructure.

The Biden administration is pledging to “use every tool to deter, disrupt, and respond to cyberattacks”, but warns the Federal Government “can’t defend against this threat alone.”

Officials are urging all businesses to bolster their defences and prepare for any eventuality.

Ticker News spoke with a former U.S. Department of Homeland Security official who says businesses need to urgently ramp up their safeguards.

This all comes as Biden prepares to travel to Europe to meet with fellow world leaders.

According to the United States, Russian forces have also begun to use hypersonic missiles, all in an attempt to evade Ukrainian defence systems.

Ukraine’s President Volodymyr Zelensky says his country will never bow down to Russian aggression and cities like Kyiv, Mariupol or Kharkiv will not accept Russian occupation.

In the capital of Kyiv, at least eight people have died after a shopping centre was targeted in an attack, as an official death toll is determined.

A shopping centre and the adjacent parking lot caught fire following Russian shelling, with 63 firefighters working to extinguish the blaze.

Kyiv’s Prosecutor General says an enemy missile strike and resulting fire is the reason behind the destruction and chaos.

It’s feared the number of fatalities will only continue to rise.

Ukraine refused an offer to surrender the key port city of Mariupol on Monday, after Russian forces offered safe passageway to civilians if the city was handed over.

This is leading to an evergrowing humanitarian crisis, with residents left trapped without access to basic supplies like food and water.

The port city has been under near-constant attack from Russian forces since early March… with reports up to 90 percent of its building have now been damaged.

Russia has reportedly been targeting civilians during its attacks on the area, with the European Union’s top diplomat describing the situation on the ground as a “war crime”.

AI sector drives economic growth; Meta adjusts strategy, Palantir’s valuation sparks questions, and Nvidia leads amid rising competition.

The artificial intelligence sector continues to be a major driver of growth for both the U.S. and global economies. Companies at the forefront of AI innovation are influencing market trends and reshaping industries worldwide.

Meta’s stock has rebounded slightly following reports of potential cost-cutting measures and job reductions in its Reality Labs division. Investors are watching closely as the company adjusts its strategy to manage rising expenses and optimize innovation.

Palantir is trading at over 120 times forward sales and 180 times forward earnings, signaling investor confidence but also raising questions about valuation risks. Meanwhile, Nvidia maintains a market cap of $4.2 trillion as a leading AI chip supplier, yet competition is ramping up.

These moves highlight the growing tension between tech giants’ AI ambitions and the practical need to balance profits with heavy R&D spending.

Some analysts, however, warn that rapid growth may not be sustainable, with current levels of AI-related spending potentially overshooting realistic returns.

Analysts forecast $500 billion AI investment by 2026, transforming corporate spending priorities and enhancing economic productivity.

Analysts predict that artificial intelligence companies could invest over $500 billion in 2026, signaling a major shift in corporate spending priorities. This surge in capital allocation comes as businesses look to harness AI to drive growth and efficiency across multiple sectors.

Following strong third-quarter earnings, overall capital spending estimates for 2026 have been revised upward. However, investors are becoming more selective, focusing on companies that can clearly demonstrate revenue benefits from their AI investments, separating hype from tangible results.

AI adoption is expected to boost economic productivity, with significant investment already flowing into AI infrastructure such as semiconductors and data centres. The coming year could redefine how companies leverage technology to gain a competitive edge.
