  • Trump goes all-in on Israel's Iran offensive amid early success, but holds back on U.S. role
    Haaretz - 07:40 Jun 14, 2025
    Regardless of any recent hesitations, it defies logic that Israel would launch an operation if Trump was explicitly flashing a red light behind the scenes. It remains to be seen whether Trump's support will evolve into participating in any offensive action targeting Iran's underground nuclear facilities

    Trump discloses $57.4 million in income tied to World Liberty Financial, a DeFi project that has raised over $550 million from investors. US President Donald Trump has disclosed $57.4 million in income from his involvement with World Liberty Financial, a cryptocurrency venture he backs alongside his sons Donald Jr. and Eric. The details emerged in Trump’s 2025 public financial disclosure, filed with the US Office of Government Ethics on June 13. The filing reveals that Trump holds 15.75 billion governance tokens in World Liberty Financial, which also grants him voting rights. While the document does not elaborate on the precise structure or market value of the governance tokens, the substantial reported income suggests that Trump has monetized some portion of the position or that the tokens were valued for disclosure at a high internal rate.

  • How Israel's attack on Iran could ultimately backfire on Netanyahu – and hand Trump a win
    Haaretz - 17:59 Jun 13, 2025

  • US court allows Trump to keep National Guard in LA with Marines on the way
    Dawn - 13:54 Jun 13, 2025
    A US appeals court on Thursday allowed President Donald Trump to maintain his deployment of National Guard troops in Los Angeles amid protests over stepped-up immigration enforcement, temporarily pausing a lower court ruling that blocked the mobilisation. The 9th US Circuit Court of Appeals’ decision does not mean that the court will ultimately agree with Trump, but it does leave the command of the Guard with the president for now. Earlier on Thursday, San Francisco-based US District Judge Charles Breyer found that Trump’s deployment of the Guard was unlawful. Breyer’s 36-page ruling had ordered the National Guard to return to the control of California Governor Gavin Newsom, who had brought the case. It was a short-lived victory for Newsom, as Breyer’s order was paused about two and a half hours later. Asked for a comment, Newsom’s press office referred to the governor’s statement after the initial ruling and noted that the appeals court put a temporary pause on the ruling but did not reverse it. “I’m confide...

  • ‘I can solve anything’: Trump once again offers to be arbitrator in Kashmir dispute
    Dawn - 18:10 Jun 12, 2025
    United States President Donald Trump on Thursday once again offered to arbitrate the Kashmir dispute between Pakistan and India, echoing comments made by the US State Department a day prior. Trump had offered to work on the Kashmir issue after he brokered a ceasefire between the two nuclear powers following their most intense military confrontation in decades. In a message lauding the countries’ leaders for achieving peace, he remarked, “I will work with both of you to see if, after a ‘thousand years’, a solution can be arrived at concerning Kashmir.” Responding to a question on the steps the US plans to take in the wake of Trump’s offer, State Department spokesperson Tammy Bruce noted, “[Trump] has been the only one to bring certain people to the table to have conversations that nobody thought was possible,” remaining hopeful that the Kashmir issue can also get resolved. Fielding questions after a bill-signing ceremony on Thursday, the US president said that he “stopped a war” between Pakistan and India. “Ev...
  • Trump addresses Coinbase summit to discuss crypto plans
    Cointelegraph.com - 17:17 Jun 12, 2025
    The US president has spoken in person at the Bitcoin 2024 conference in Nashville and released a video message for the Digital Asset Summit in New York City. US President Donald Trump released a prerecorded message for attendees of Coinbase’s State of Crypto Summit as Congress considers legislation to regulate payment stablecoins and establish a digital asset market structure framework. In his second message directly addressing a crypto conference since becoming president in January, Trump said he was “not done” implementing crypto policies in the US government. These, according to the president, have included efforts through executive orders to establish a national Bitcoin (BTC) reserve, creating a working group on digital assets and nominating Paul Atkins to chair the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). “My administration is working with Congress to pass the GENIUS Act supporting the creation of dollar-backed stablecoins, and we also will be working to create clear and simple market frameworks that wi...
  • Bitcoin adoption fueled by ‘deglobalization,’ Trump’s ‘big, beautiful bill’
    Cointelegraph.com - 14:12 Jun 12, 2025
    Bitcoin adoption may benefit from continued global uncertainty until a trade agreement between the world’s two largest economies is finalized. Bitcoin’s institutional adoption is seeing a new wave of corporate investments, which stand to benefit from more global uncertainty before a trade agreement is finalized or a controversial US spending bill is passed. US President Donald Trump is pushing forward the “One Big Beautiful Bill Act,” which he says would cut as much as $1.6 trillion in federal spending. “The great, big, beautiful bill will grow the economy like it has never grown before,” Trump wrote in a Truth Social post on Thursday. “It puts put our country on the right track, plus!” Read more
  • Trump says Los Angeles ‘safe and sound’ for two nights after protests
    Dawn - 13:48 Jun 12, 2025
    Los Angeles was “safe and sound for the last two nights”, United States President Donald Trump said on Thursday morning, as he hailed troops for helping to restore order in the city after days of anti-deportation protests. “Our great National Guard, with a little help from the Marines, put the LA Police in a position to effectively do their job,” Trump said on Truth Social, adding that without the military, the city “would be a crime scene like we haven’t seen in years”. The mostly peaceful protests ignited last week over a sudden escalation in efforts to apprehend migrants in the country illegally. But there were also pockets of violence, including the burning of self-driving taxis and hurling stones at police. Trump deployed several thousand National Guard troops and some 700 active-duty Marines over the objections of Democratic California Governor Gavin Newsom, the first such action by a US president in decades. In his post, Trump said Newsom “had totally lost control of the situation”. “He should be sayin...

    screengrab via Truth Social/@realDonaldTrumpUS President Donald Trump touted a new website for his planned $5 million US residency permit on Wednesday, saying the waiting list for the golden visa has opened on TrumpCard.gov. “Thousands have been calling and asking how they can sign up to ride a beautiful road in gaining access to the greatest country and market anywhere in the world,” Trump wrote in a social media post. screengrab via Truth Social/@realDonaldTrump Trump unveiled the first such visa aboard Air Force One in April, holding a golden prototype that bore his face and promising the special permit would probably be available “in less than two weeks.” The visas are not available yet, but the website announced on Wednesday allows interested parties to submit their name, desired visa and email address under a header that says “The Trump Card is Coming.” Trump previously said the new visa, a high-priced version of the traditional green card, would bring in job creators and could be used to reduce the US national deficit.

  • Curfew in LA as protests spread across US despite Trump threats
    Dawn - 03:23 Jun 12, 2025
    • Authorities impose overnight curfew, arrest 25 protesters • US president warns protests at army parade will be met with force LOS ANGELES: Protests against Donald Trump’s harsh immigration policies spread on Wednesday across the United States despite a military-backed crackdown in Los Angeles and a threat by the Republican president to use “heavy force.” In Los Angeles, where the unrest began last Friday, the downtown area was calm but tense after an overnight curfew saw police make 25 arrests. Heavily armed officers patrolled near government buildings, and storekeepers boarded up windows to protect against vandalism. US Marines — ordered by Trump to deploy in addition to more than 4,000 National Guard soldiers — were expected to make their first appearance on the streets on Wednesday. “US military troops deployed to Los Angeles are allowed to temporarily detain individuals until law enforcement agents arrive to arrest them,” a senior US military official said. The mostly peaceful protests ignited over a su...

  • US favourability tumbles since Trump return: global survey
    Dawn - 18:22 Jun 11, 2025
    The image of the United States has deteriorated sharply in much of the world since President Donald Trump’s return, with low marks both on his character and policies, a global survey said on Wednesday. The Pew Research Centre found that favorability of the US has dropped in 15 of the 24 countries surveyed. Trump received his lowest marks in neighbouring Mexico, which he has long disparaged and pressed on migration, with 91 per cent of Mexicans saying they did not have confidence that Trump would do the right thing on world affairs. Trump led to a downward shift in perceptions of the US as a whole. In both Mexico and fellow neighbour Canada, which Trump has provocatively said should be the 51st US state, majorities now see the US unfavourably after seeing the country favourably last year when Joe Biden was president. Views of the US also darkened in most of Europe, with an especially sharp drop in Poland, a frontline ally of Ukraine, as Trump reduces US support for Kyiv and seeks a negotiated solution with Rus...

  • US begins uneasy FIFA World Cup countdown as Trump moves Marines to Los Angeles
    Dawn - 16:31 Jun 11, 2025
    US cities hosting next year’s FIFA World Cup faced questions on Wednesday about how to reassure international fans concerned by President Donald Trump’s immigration crackdown and travel ban as the year-to-go countdown began. The United States, along with Canada and Mexico, is set to co-host the finals, which will feature 48 teams and a record 104 matches in a tournament that FIFA boss Gianni Infantino said would usher in a new generation of football fans. Celebrities and football stars were due to walk the red carpet at the Fox Studio Lot in Los Angeles — one of the host cities — for the year-to-go event there, a day after President Trump deployed Marines and the National Guard to quell protests. California Governor Gavin Newsom described the deployment as an “unmistakable step toward authoritarianism”, while Trump officials defended it and branded the protests as lawless, blaming local and state Democrats for permitting upheaval. Los Angeles is one of several host cities that will mark the year-to-go occasio...
  • Trump’s CFTC chair pick won’t push president for bipartisan commission
    Cointelegraph.com - 15:26 Jun 11, 2025
    Senators questioned Brian Quintenz on prediction markets, his experiences dealing with debanking, and how he would potentially handle an entirely Republican-staffed CFTC. Brian Quintenz declined to say whether he supports maintaining a bipartisan balance at the Commodity Futures Trading Commission during a Senate nomination hearing on Tuesday, avoiding a key question from lawmakers weighing his potential return as chair. Quintenz, a former commissioner at the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) and US President Donald Trump’s nominee to chair the agency, addressed several questions about his potential policy stance on crypto if confirmed as the new head of the agency. Senators Tina Smith of Minnesota and Raphael Warnock of Georgia pressed him about whether he would make recommendations to Trump in support of having both Democratic and Republican commissioners at the CFTC. Quintenz avoided a direct answer, steering the conversation toward his experience. Read more

Bitcoin is closing in on a new high, buoyed by renewed optimism that the United States and China have reached a final agreement on their long-awaited trade deal. The world’s largest trading economies have nearly completed their trade agreement, according to a Wednesday post on Truth Social by US President Donald Trump. “Our deal with China is done, subject to final approval with President Xi and me,” Trump said. “We are getting a total of 55% tariffs, China is getting 10%. Relationship is excellent.” Read more
  • Musk regrets some of his Trump criticisms, says they ‘went too far’
    Dawn - 10:26 Jun 11, 2025
    Elon Musk, the world’s richest person and Donald Trump’s former adviser, said on Wednesday he regretted some of his recent criticisms of the United States president, after the pair’s public falling-out last week. “I regret some of my posts about President [Donald Trump] last week. They went too far,” Musk wrote on his social media platform X. Musk’s expression of regret came just days after Trump threatened the tech billionaire with “serious consequences” if he sought to punish Republicans who voted for a controversial spending bill. Their blistering break-up — largely carried out on social media before a riveted public since Thursday last week — was ignited by Musk’s harsh criticism of Trump’s so-called “big, beautiful” spending bill, which is currently before Congress. Some lawmakers who were against the bill had called on Musk — one of the Republican Party’s biggest financial backers in last year’s presidential election — to fund primary challenges against Republicans who voted for the legislation. “He’ll ...
  • Trump willing to work on Kashmir issue, confirms US State Dept

    US Department of State on Wednesday reiterated US President Donald Trump’s resolve to work on the Kashmir dispute, saying each step that he takes “is made to solve generational differences between countries”.

She further said, “[Trump] has been the only one to brin...
