United States President Donald Trump said on Friday that he is considering agreeing to a deal to supply Saudi Arabia with F-35 stealth fighter jets, which are made by Lockheed Martin. “They wanna buy a lot of jets,” Trump told reporters aboard Air Force One. “I’m looking at that. They’ve asked me to look at it. They want to buy a lot of ‘35’ — but they want to buy actually more than that, fighter jets.” The potential sale comes as Trump plans to host Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman at the White House next week, when they are expected to sign economic and defence agreements. Asked about the talks, Trump told reporters it was “more than meeting, we’re honouring” Saudi Arabia. He repeated that he hoped Saudi Arabia would soon join the Abraham Accords, which have normalised relations between Israel and Muslim-majority nations. Riyadh has resisted such a step absent agreement on a roadmap to Palestinian statehood. A Pentagon intelligence report has raised concerns over the potential F-35 deal, warning that ...

US President Donald Trump said on Friday he would likely sue the BBC next week for as much as $5 billion after the British broadcaster admitted it wrongly edited a video of a speech he gave but insisted there was no legal basis for his claim. The British Broadcasting Corporation has been plunged into its biggest crisis in decades after two senior leaders resigned following accusations of bias, including over the editing of Trump’s speech on January 6, 2021, when his supporters stormed the Capitol. Trump’s lawyers had initially set a Friday deadline for the BBC to retract its documentary or face a lawsuit for “no less” than $1bn. They also demanded an apology and compensation for what they called “overwhelming reputational and financial harm,” according to a letter seen by Reuters. The BBC, which has admitted its editing of Trump’s remarks was an “error of judgement,” sent a personal apology to Trump on Thursday but said it would not rebroadcast the documentary and rejected the defamation claim. “We’ll sue the...

Volgens de advocaten van Trump is er sprake van smaad. De Amerikaanse president heeft gezegd de omroep toch aan te klagen. Volg alle ontwikkelingen in ons liveblog.

De Venezolaanse president Nicolás Maduro heeft zijn Amerikaanse collega Donald Trump opgeroepen te zorgen voor vrede in het Caribisch gebied, meldt CNN.

United States President Donald Trump said on Friday he wants the Justice Department and Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) to investigate links between the late alleged sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein and former Democratic president Bill Clinton. Seeking to turn the tables after a new trove of Epstein emails reignited questions over his own ties to the disgraced financier, Trump also demanded a probe into US bank JPMorgan Chase, ex-Harvard president Larry Summers and others. Republican Trump accused rival Democrats of “using the Epstein Hoax” to distract from the party’s recent compromise to end a record US government shutdown, and said the scandal involved “Democrats, not Republicans.” “I will be asking AG Pam Bondi, and the Department of Justice, together with our great patriots at the FBI, to investigate Jeffrey Epstein’s involvement and relationship with Bill Clinton, Larry Summers, Reid Hoffman, JP Morgan, Chase and many other people and institutions,” Trump said on Truth Social. “Records show that the...

Administrația Trump propune reguli noi prin care solicitanților de viză de imigrant li s-ar putea refuza accesul în SUA dacă suferă de obezitate, diabet sau alte boli.

US President Donald Trump on Wednesday signed legislation ending the longest government shutdown in US history, roughly two hours after the House of Representatives voted to restart disrupted food assistance, pay hundreds of thousands of federal workers and revive a hobbled air-traffic control system. The Republican-controlled chamber passed the package by a vote of 222-209, with Trump’s support largely keeping his party together in the face of vehement opposition from House Democrats, who are angry that a long standoff launched by their Senate colleagues failed to secure a deal to extend federal health insurance subsidies. Trump’s signature on the bill, which cleared the Senate earlier in the week, will bring federal workers idled by the 43-day shutdown back to their jobs starting as early as Thursday, although just how quickly full government services and operations will resume is unclear.

The key question now is how far the Trump administration will go - and whether this entire process of regional realignment will ultimately produce a security arrangement between Israel and Syria

Trump's intervention in Netanyahu's trial, breaking all bounds of U.S. involvement in Israeli politics, is a cause for celebration for the prime minister, proving Trump is doing all he can to shield him from the consequences of his own actions

Democrats released emails on Wednesday in which convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein suggested that United States President Donald Trump was aware of the financier’s sexual abuse and definitely “knew about the girls”. Trump has denied any involvement in or knowledge of the sex-trafficking activities of his former friend, who died by suicide in federal prison in 2019 as he was awaiting trial. But Democrats on the House Oversight Committee said the emails “raise serious questions about Donald Trump and his knowledge of Epstein’s horrific crimes”. The furore around the disgraced financier is still roiling Trump’s administration four months after his Justice Department effectively closed the case, announcing there was no more information to share. Democrats in the House — keen to capitalise on the simmering controversy — have been trying to force a vote that would compel publication of the full Epstein case files. The newly released emails were written to longtime associate Ghislaine Maxwell, who was convicted ...

Calling Netanyahu's trial 'a political, unjustified prosecution,' Trump asked Israel's President Herzog in a formal letter to pardon Netanyahu, who faces charges of bribery, fraud, and breach of trust in three separate criminal cases; Netanyahu responded to Trump: 'You get right to the point and call it like it is'

With the US government shutdown expected to end this week, the Senate Agriculture Committee scheduled a hearing to consider President Donald Trump’s pick to head the CFTC. Michael Selig, currently serving as chief counsel for the crypto task force at the US Securities and Exchange Commission, will face questioning from senators next week in a hearing to consider his nomination as the chair of the Commodity Futures Trading Commission. On Tuesday, the US Senate Agriculture Committee updated its calendar to include Selig’s nomination hearing on Nov. 19. The notice came about two weeks after the SEC official confirmed on social media that he was US President Donald Trump’s next pick to chair the agency following the removal of Brian Quintenz. Hearings for Quintenz, whom Trump nominated in February, were put on hold in July amid reports that Gemini co-founders Cameron and Tyler Winklevoss were pushing another candidate. Quintenz later released private texts between him and the Winklevoss twins, signaling that the ...

Earlier this year, President Donald Trump promised a “21st Century” payments upgrade without requiring a central bank digital currency, putting the GENIUS Act at the center of the plan. The law is already on the books; the operating rulebook is not yet. In July, Trump praised the crypto industry, declaring: “You have certainly as an […] The post Upgrading “ancient” financial system with crypto by 2028: Is Trump on track? appeared first on CryptoSlate.

Syrian President al-Sharaa said Trump will help the country in reaching negotiations with Israel, but stated that Syria's potential participation in the Abraham Accords differs from that of other countries that have normalized ties with Israel: 'Syria has a border with Israel, and Israel has occupied the Golan Heights since 1967'

Syrië sluit zich aan bij de internationale coalitie tegen Islamitische Staat. Dit markeert een verandering in het Amerikaanse buitenlandse beleid in het Midden-Oosten, bevestigde een hoge functionaris van de regering-Trump aan CBS, zo meldt de BBC.

The director general of Britain’s BBC, Tim Davie, and the chief executive of news, Deborah Turness, have resigned following criticism over bias at the corporation, including in the way it edited a speech by United States President Donald Trump. The BBC has been embroiled in a spate of allegations that it had failed to maintain political neutrality in its reporting, including in its coverage of Trump, the Israel-Hamas war and over transgender issues. In the most recent controversy, The Daily Telegraph had reported for days on an internal document produced by a former BBC adviser on standards who had listed a raft of errors, including in the way a speech by Trump on January 6, 2021, was edited. The document suggested the flagship ‘Panorama’ programme had edited two parts of Trump’s speech together so he appeared to encourage the Capitol Hill riots of January 2021. “This is entirely my decision, and I remain very thankful to the Chair and Board for their unswerving and unanimous support throughout my entire tenu...

Investors saw the announcement as a positive catalyst for crypto markets, but the proposed stimulus hinges on a Supreme Court ruling. United States President Donald Trump announced on Sunday that most Americans will receive a $2,000 “dividend” from the tariff revenue and criticized the opposition to his sweeping tariff policies. “A dividend of at least $2000 a person, not including high-income people, will be paid to everyone,” Trump said on Truth Social. The US Supreme Court is currently hearing arguments about the legality of the tariffs, with the overwhelming majority of prediction market traders betting against a court approval. Kalshi traders place the odds of the Supreme Court approving the policy at just 23%, while Polymarket traders have the odds at 21%. Trump asked: Read more

United States President Donald Trump has been talking up the prospects of Saudi Arabia agreeing to normalise ties with Israel, but it is unlikely to happen when Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman visits the White House this month. The establishment of diplomatic relations between Israel and Saudi Arabia after decades of enmity could shake up the political and security landscape in the Middle East, potentially strengthening US influence in the region. Trump said last month he hoped Saudi Arabia would “very soon” join other Muslim countries that signed the 2020 Abraham Accords normalising ties with Israel. But Riyadh has signalled to Washington through diplomatic channels that its position has not changed: it will sign up only if there is agreement on a roadmap to Palestinian statehood, two Gulf sources told Reuters. Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed Bin Salman speaks with US President Donald Trump on the day of the Saudi-US Investment Forum, in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia on May 13. — Reuters/File The intention is to a...

Binance co-founder CZ pushed back against allegations that his pardon was motivated by close ties or business deals with the Trump family. Binance co-founder CZ said he was somewhat surprised at receiving a pardon from United States President Donald Trump and denied having a business relationship with the Trump family during an interview on Friday. CZ told Fox News that he never physically met or spoke with Trump before or after receiving a presidential pardon in October, and only met with Trump’s son Eric once at the Bitcoin Middle East and North Africa conference in Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates. “There is no business relationship between me, Binance, and World Liberty Finance,” CZ said.
