Het ingaan van het staakt-het-vuren tussen Israël en Libanon heeft in Libanon na middernacht (lokale tijd, 23.00 uur in Nederland) tot vreugde-uitbarstingen geleid. Toch beschuldigde het Libanese leger Israël niet lang daarna van het schenden van het bestand. En volgens president Trump is een akkoord met Iran in zicht over kernwapens. Trump lijkt er op te duiden dat Iran bereid is verrijkt uranium aan de VS te overhandigen. Volg alle ontwikkelingen in het Midden-Oosten in ons liveblog.

US President Donald Trump said on Thursday that if a deal with Iran to end the war was reached and signed in Islamabad, he might go there, claiming that Iran had agreed to almost everything. He also said that the US and Iran were “very close” to signing a peace deal. Trump struck an optimistic tone about Iran as he spoke with reporters on the White House lawn on his way to a trip to Nevada and Arizona. Pakistan’s civil and military leadership has been engaged in feverish diplomacy, seeking to bring the US and Iran back to the negotiating table after the Islamabad Talks over the weekend yielded no result. Now, there are reports that the negotiating teams from the US and Iran could return to Islamabad. The talks were held as a Pakistan-brokered two-week ceasefire between Washington and Tehran remained in effect. The ceasefire paused hostilities that began with the US-Israeli strikes on February 28. During the conversation at the White House, Trump was asked if he would go to Pakistan to seal the deal himself, t...

Major World Liberty Financial investor Justin Sun called a plan to lock tokens for up to four years “the most absurd governance scams I have ever seen.” The Trump family’s crypto platform, World Liberty Financial, is facing backlash over a new proposal to lock up tokens purchased by early investors for up to four years, or in some cases, indefinitely. World Liberty posted the proposal to its governance forum on Wednesday, which outlined that early investors would have their World Liberty Financial (WLFI) tokens locked for a further two years before their tokens would be released in batches over the following two years. According to the proposal, tokenholders who do not accept the new unlock schedule would “continue to have their tokens locked indefinitely.” Read more

WLFI’s new unlock proposal feels like a move to contain a crisis, but the bigger issue is still about who actually holds the reins and how governance really works. World Liberty Financial is back on its governance forum with a proposal that covers 62.28 billion locked WLFI tokens. This comes at a time when the […] The post Trump family’s WLFI starts damage control but its new plan leaves holders who refuse the new terms locked indefinitely appeared first on CryptoSlate.

Als Jerome Powell niet vertrekt bij de Federal Reserve wil Trump hem ontslaan. De benoeming van zijn opvolger Kevin Warsh kan vertraging oplopen door de uitlatingen van de Amerikaanse president.  

US President Donald Trump, whose war and immigration policies have been condemned by Pope Leo, reiterated his criticism of the religious leader on Tuesday night. In a post on Truth Social, Trump urged that “someone please tell Pope Leo” about the killings of protesters by Iran and that “for Iran to have a Nuclear Bomb is absolutely unacceptable.” The US and Israel attacked Iran on February 28. Iran responded with its own strikes on Israel and Gulf states with US bases. US-Israeli strikes on Iran and Israeli attacks in Lebanon have killed thousands and displaced millions. Iran does not have nuclear weapons while the US does. Israel is widely believed to be the only Middle Eastern country with nuclear weapons. While Western countries have long believed that Iran wants a nuclear bomb — or at least the ability to make one very quickly — Tehran has always denied that, citing its membership of the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty. Trump’s comments come after Pope Leo warned earlier in the day of the risk of democra...

Cunoscutul analist John Bolton, fost consilier al președintelui Trump, critică politica administrației de la Washington față de Iran și susține că SUA nu vor reuși să tranșeze această problemă până când nu vor realiza o schimbare de regim la Teheran.

Those seeking VIP treatment at the next Trump meme coin event didn't need to spend nearly as much as last time. Here's a breakdown of the numbers.

US President Donald Trump said on Tuesday that talks between Washington and Tehran could resume over the next two days and that “we’re more inclined to go” to Pakistan, reported The New York Post. “You should stay there, really, because something could be happening over the next two days, and we’re more inclined to go there,” Trump said. “It’s more likely, you know why? Because the Field Marshal is doing a great job. He’s fantastic, and therefore it’s more likely that we go back there,“ he told The NY Post. “Why should we go to some country that has nothing to do with it?” This was after he earlier told the US media outlet that discussions were “happening, but, you know, a little bit slow”, before indicating that a second round of direct negotiations would likely happen somewhere in Europe. According to The NY Post, he contacted them half an hour later and told their reporter to stay in Islamabad “because something could be happening over the next two days, and we’re more inclined to go there”. He also confir...

US President Donald Trump on Tuesday launched a stinging criticism of Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni, one of his main European allies, over her unwillingness to join the Iran war. “I’m shocked at her. I thought she had courage, but I was wrong,” he said in an interview with Italian daily Corriere della Sera. The interview was published the day after Meloni condemned as “unacceptable” Trump’s criticism of Pope Leo XIV, after the pontiff’s repeated calls for an end to the war in the Middle East. Trump told Corriere that it was she who was “unacceptable”, alleging she did not care if Iran had a nuclear weapon, adding that she did not want Italy to be involved in the war, which began with Israeli-US attacks on Iran, even though it gets much of its oil from the region. Meloni, Italy’s far-right leader since October 2022, has been one of Trump’s closest allies in Europe and often seeks to act as a mediator between diverging US and European views. Meloni’s allies and political opponents were swift to offer th...

US President Donald Trump said on Monday that a picture that he posted on Truth Social, which depicted him as a Jesus-like figure and has now been deleted, was actually supposed to show him as a doctor. “I did post it, and I thought it was me as a doctor, and had to do with the Red Cross, as a Red Cross worker there, which we support. “And only fake news could come up with that one. I just heard about it, and I said how did they come up with that. It’s supposed to be me as a doctor, making people better. And I do make people better,” Trump told reporters at the White House when he was asked whether he had posted the picture. The AI-generated image of Trump as a Jesus-like figure drew widespread ​criticism, even from some religious conservatives who typically support him. It depicted Trump in a white robe with an apparently healing hand on a prone man’s head. In the painting-like image posted on Sunday, Trump was seen holding a glowing orb ​in one hand and using his other hand to touch a seemingly sick man on ...

While the world’s attention has been focused on the US-Israel war on Iran, President Donald Trump has launched a scathing verbal attack on Pope Leo XIV. Trump also suggested that Leo was only elected to lead the Catholic Church last year “because he was an American, and they thought that would be the best way to deal with President Donald J. Trump”. He also posted an AI-generated image depicting himself as Jesus, with the US flag and the Statue of Liberty in the background. The post was later removed. However, Trump has not always been critical of Leo, who is the first American pope. At the time of his election, he had called it a “great honour for our country”. So why is the US president now picking a fight with the pontiff? Why was Trump so incensed? On Saturday, the global leader of Catholics had made a plea for peace amid the war in the Middle East as talks between the US and Iran were underway in Islamabad. The 70-year-old had publicly implored leaders on Saturday to end the violence, telling worshippers...

După înfrângerea lui Viktor Orbán la alegerile din Ungaria, Donald Trump a evitat să comenteze situația, în timp ce liderii democrați din SUA au folosit rezultatul scrutinului ca pe un avertisment politic adresat direct lui Trump și susținătorilor săi.

US President Donald Trump has criticised Pope Leo as “terrible” in a rare direct attack on the pontiff, who responded that he had “no fear” of the White House administration and would continue to denounce the horrors of war. The president’s comments came after the pope had spoken out, with growing force, against the US-Israeli war on Iran and the Trump administration’s immigration policies. “Pope Leo is WEAK on Crime, and terrible for Foreign Policy,” Trump wrote in a post on Truth Social late on Sunday. Trump later posted an AI-generated image depicting himself as Jesus, with the US flag and the Statue of Liberty in the background.’ ‘Someone has to stand up’, Pope says Pope Leo, the first pontiff from the US, responded on Monday by saying he would keep raising his voice against conflict, adding that the Christian message, rooted in the primacy of peace, was being “abused”. It is extremely unusual for a pope, who leads Catholics around the world, to answer a foreign leader publicly. “I will continue to speak ...

Crypto backed Donald Trump for a reason. He gave the industry a simple political promise: less enforcement, friendlier rules, and a White House that would treat Bitcoin and digital assets as part of the American growth story instead of a threat to be contained. That bargain helped Trump build real support inside crypto during the […] The post Made in USA cryptocurrencies fall as the crypto love affair with Trump family moves close to divorce appeared first on CryptoSlate.

Large holders are accumulating TRUMP ahead of a Mar-a-Lago event for top token holders, even as the memecoin trades down over 30% since March. Crypto whales loaded up more of the TRUMP memecoin ahead of the luncheon at US President Donald Trump’s Mar-a-Lago residence in Florida this month, which offers entry to the largest holders.

Two days earlier, another whale withdrew 850,488 TRUMP from the crypto exchange Bybit. Read more
