US President Donald Trump on Tuesday said Saudi Arabia was being designated as a “major, non-Nato ally”. “Tonight, I’m pleased to announce that we’re taking our military cooperation to even greater heights by formally designating Saudi Arabia as a major non-Nato ally, which is something that is very important to them,” Trump said during a formal black-tie dinner at the White House. “And I’m just telling you now for the first time, because they wanted to keep a little secret for tonight,” Trump said of the designation, which only 19 other countries have previously received.

The status provides a US partner with military and economic privileges but does not entail security commitments. US strikes on Iranian nuclear facilities in June had made Saudi Arabia safer, Trump added. Meanwhile, bin Salman had earlier promised to increase his country’s US investment to $1 trillion from a $600 ...

Asked at his White House meeting with the Saudi crown prince on how the U.S. sale of F-35 fighter jets to Saudi Arabia would affect the joint U.S.–Israel policy of preserving Israel's qualitative military edge, Trump said that both Israel and the Saudi kingdom are 'at a level where they should get top-of-the-line' jets

The United Nations Security Council on Monday voted to adopt a US-drafted resolution endorsing President Donald Trump’s plan to end the war in Gaza and authorising an international stabilisation force for the Palestinian enclave. Israel and Hamas agreed last month to the first phase of Trump’s 20-point plan for Gaza — a ceasefire in their two-year war and a hostage-release deal — but the UN resolution is seen as vital to legitimising a transitional governance body and reassuring countries that are considering sending troops to Gaza. The text of the resolution says member states can take part in the Board of Peace, envisioned as a transitional authority that would oversee the reconstruction and economic recovery of Gaza. It also authorises the International Stabilisation Force (ISF), which would ensure a process of demilitarising Gaza, including by decommissioning weapons and destroying military infrastructure. Trump’s 20-point plan is included as an annexe to the resolution. Russia, which holds a veto on the ...

De Epstein-zaak maakt een scheur zichtbaar in de voorheen ijzersterke Maga-coalitie. En het is niet het enige onderwerp waarop Trump en zijn achterban van mening verschillen. „Maga was mijn idee, van niemand anders”, zei Trump afgelopen week nog op Fox News. „Ik weet beter wat Maga wil dan wie dan ook.” Maar verschillende Maga-prominenten denken daar anders over.

At the end of his first term, Trump intended to link the Abraham Accords to a deal to sell F-35s to the UAE. But now, the president views the sale as a key element of U.S. foreign policy, contradicting the longstanding U.S. policy of preserving Israel's qualitative military edge in the Middle East

De Amerikaanse president Donald Trump heeft zich gekeerd tegen zijn bondgenoot van het eerste uur, Congreslid Marjorie Taylor Greene. De parlementariër uitte recent meermaals kritiek op de president. Ze vindt dat Trump te veel zijn best doet om de Epstein-files geheim te houden.

The United States Justice Department said on Friday it will fulfil President Donald Trump’s request to investigate convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein’s ties to former Democratic President Bill Clinton and JPMorgan, as Trump sought to shift the focus from his relationship with the convicted sex offender. The move comes two days after a congressional committee released thousands of documents that raised new questions about Trump’s relationship with the late financier, and marks the latest in a series of demands by Trump for federal law enforcement to pursue his perceived political enemies. Attorney General Pam Bondi said Jay Clayton, the top federal prosecutor in Manhattan, will lead the investigation. The Epstein scandal has been a political thorn in Trump’s side for months, partly because he amplified conspiracy theories about Epstein to his own supporters. Many Trump voters believe Bondi and other Trump officials have covered up Epstein’s ties to powerful figures and obscured details surrounding his deat...

A federal judge ruled that the Trump administration ran a 'concerted campaign' to purge 'woke,' 'left' and 'socialist' viewpoints from top universities, after demanding the University of California pay $1.2 billion to restore frozen research over alleged campus antisemitism

The potential deal comes as Trump plans to host the Saudi Crown Prince at the White House next week, when they are expected to sign economic and defense agreements. Last week, Trump said that Kazakhstan is set to join the Abraham Accords

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...

Donald Trump is niet tevreden met het antwoord dat hij van de Britse omroep BBC heeft gekregen na zijn klacht over een montage in een documentaire die de indruk wekte dat hij zijn achterban had opgeroepen tot de bestorming van het Capitool op 6 januari 2021. 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 ...
