But that is a more distant future. The rest of the year and into 2025, with a new president in the White House, are uncertain and full of danger.
During an election campaign visit to Anglesey, with UK shadow chancellor Rachel Reeves, the first minister said: "I'm not expecting to lose a vote of no confidence."He said he was "very, very proud to be first minister" and was "being very positive about my future as the leader of my party and, indeed, all the things I want to do as a leader of my country".
Mr Gething added that he was "very focused" on the election campaign and "getting on with the day job of being the first minister - that's my job, it's exactly what I'm doing".Ms Reeves said she had "absolute confidence in Vaughan Gething" and called the no confidence vote a "really a desperate gimmick from the Conservative Party".Plaid withdrew from its co-operation agreement with the Welsh Labour government in the Senedd earlier in May ahead of the original expiration date of December.
The agreement saw Plaid support Welsh Labour ministers in getting their budget through the Senedd in return for joint work on 46 policy areas, including free school meals, Senedd reform and farming subsidies.Plaid Cymru leader Rhun ap Iorwerth said: “It’s Labour themselves, and Keir Starmer in particular who’ll decide if Vaughan Gething stays or goes, and they'll back him.
"In accepting £200,000 from a convicted polluter, we obviously believe Vaughan Gething has undermined the office of first minister and the people of Wales’ confidence."
He added: "There's such an irony in the Conservatives, mired in so many scandals of their own, bringing forward this vote."She had been returning from a night out when the man kicked her and beat her with his crutch. The force of the strike was so strong that it broke the crutch.
When the police arrived, the man showed them a document proving he had been in Ukraine and claimed that because of his service “nothing will happen to him”.The attack on Irina is just one of many reported to have been committed by soldiers returning from Ukraine.
Verstka, an independent Russian website, estimates that at least 242 Russians have been killed by soldiers returning from Ukraine. Another 227 have been seriously injured.Like the man who beat Irina, many of the attackers have previous criminal convictions and were released from prison specifically to join Russia’s war in Ukraine.
