Trump and his emissaries talk directly to Netanyahu, and his envoys are in direct contact with Hamas' leaders outside the Gaza Strip. The question is whether Hamas can be persuaded that the U.S. president will keep his word and force Netanyahu to end the war

United States President Donald Trump told reporters late on Friday he wanted to assure Chinese international students in the country that they would be fine amid his administration’s crackdown on academia. Trump’s administration this week said it would specifically target permissions for Chinese students, in its latest broadside against US higher education. But when asked on Friday what message he would send to Chinese college students in the country, Trump insisted: “They’re going to be ok. It’s going to work out fine. “We just want to check out the individual students we have. And that’s true with all colleges,” he told reporters. The softer tone comes after a judge on Thursday extended a temporary block on Trump’s bid to prevent Harvard from enrolling international students. US Secretary of State Marco Rubio vowed on Wednesday to “aggressively” revoke visas to students from China. Rubio has already revoked thousands of visas, largely over students’ involvement in activism critical of Israel’s offensive in ...

US President Donald Trump said on Friday that representatives from Pakistan are coming to the United States next week as Islamabad seeks to make a deal on tariffs. Pakistan faces a potential 29 per cent tariff on its exports to the US due to a $3 billion trade surplus with the world’s biggest economy, under tariffs announced by Washington last month on countries around the world. Pakistan’s formal negotiations with the United States on reciprocal tariffs started earlier in the day with a phone call between Finance Minister Muhammad Aurangzeb and US Trade Representative Jamieson Greer, a press release from the finance ministry said. “Pakistan representatives are coming in next week,” Trump told reporters at Joint Base Andrews after departing Air Force One. “And India, as you know, we’re very close to making a deal with India. And I wouldn’t have any interest in making a deal with either (Pakistan and India) if they were going to be at war with each other. I went that and I let them know,” the US president stre...

In zijn handelsoorlog kreeg Trump deze week tegenslagen te verduren. Maar het lijkt hem nauwelijks te deren. De president heeft zijn strategie klaar – en de rechterlijke macht moet eraan geloven.

In Duitsland nemen door de komst van president Trump in het Witte Huis de zorgen toe over de veiligheid van de Duitse goudvoorraden die zijn opgeslagen in New York. De Nederlandsche Bank (DNB), die daar ook goud heeft liggen, maakt zich vooralsnog geen zorgen.

Een Amerikaans hof van beroep heeft donderdag de meest verstrekkende importheffingen van president Donald Trump weer van kracht verklaard. Dat gebeurde een dag nadat een handelsrechtbank had geoordeeld dat Trump zijn bevoegdheid had overschreden bij het opleggen van deze heffingen en een onmiddellijke blokkade ervan had bevolen. Volg alle ontwikkelingen in Amerika in ons liveblog.

Senior Trump administration officials on Thursday downplayed the impact of a U.S. trade court ruling that blocked the most sweeping of President Donald Trump’s tariffs, expressing confidence it would be overturned on appeal and insisting there are other legal avenues to employ in the interim. Financial markets, which have whipsawed wildly in response to every twist and turn […]

Harvard University has been flooded with requests from foreign students to transfer to other institutions as US President Donald Trump’s administration seeks to ban it from hosting international scholars, a staff member said on Wednesday. “Too many international students to count have inquired about the possibility of transferring to another institution,” Maureen Martin, director of immigration services, wrote in a court filing. Trump has upended the United States’ reputation among foreign students, who number around one million, as he presses a campaign against US universities he sees as obstructing his “Make America Great Again” populist agenda. He has blocked Harvard from hosting international scholars in a manoeuvre being challenged legally, targeted non-citizen campus activists for deportation, and most recently suspended student visa processing across the board. The president’s crackdown has prompted “profound fear, concern, and confusion” among students and staff at the elite university, which has been...

The billionaire Tesla CEO did not have a formal conversation with Trump before announcing his exit, a source said. While the precise circumstances of his exit were not immediately clear, he leaves a day after criticizing Trump's marquee tax bill

Billionaire Elon Musk on Wednesday announced he was leaving his role in the US government, which was intended to reduce federal spending, shortly after his first major break with US President Donald Trump over his signature spending bill. “As my scheduled time as a Special Government Employee comes to an end, I would like to thank President Donald Trump for the opportunity to reduce wasteful spending,” he wrote on his social media platform X. “The DOGE mission will only strengthen over time as it becomes a way of life throughout the government,” he added. The South African-born tech tycoon had said Trump’s bill would increase the deficit and undermine the work of Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), which has fired tens of thousands of people. Musk — who was a constant presence at Trump’s side before pulling back to focus on his Space X and Tesla businesses — also complained that DOGE had become a “whipping boy” for dissatisfaction with the administration. “I was disappointed to see the massive spendin...

Een federale rechtbank in de Verenigde Staten heeft woensdag de beoogde importheffingen van president Donald Trump geblokkeerd. Een handelshof oordeelde dat Trump zijn bevoegdheden te buiten ging door algemene heffingen op te leggen voor invoer uit landen die meer aan de Verenigde Staten verkopen dan ze inkopen.

Alle importheffingen die president Trump de afgelopen maanden heeft opgelegd aan vele tientallen landen zijn ongrondwettelijk. Dat is de conclusie van een Amerikaanse federale rechtbank. De gevolgen van dat vonnis zijn nog onduidelijk: het Witte Huis gaat in elk geval in hoger beroep.

A new YouGov/The Economist poll has reported trump's approval ratings at 44%, up one point among U.S. adults and 46% among voters.

Elon Musk exits Trump administration role after calling the president’s ‘big beautiful bill’ a spending failure.

Trump cautioned Netanyahu against attacking Iran after a reportedly 'tense' phone call, while his envoy Witkoff hinted at an imminent Gaza cease-fire proposal he was 'feeling good about'

President Trump komt naar de Navo-top, maar Mark Rutte heeft nu een nieuw probleem met de gastenlijst. Volgens ingewijden moet Zelensky genoegen nemen met een bijrol, vooral omdat de VS hem geen podium gunt. Rutte moet dus Trump paaien zónder Zelensky te vernederen. Al zou een royale ontvangst bij koning Willem-Alexander voor Oekraïne nog wat kunnen goedmaken.

U.S. President Donald Trump on Tuesday said Vladimir Putin was “playing with fire” by refusing to engage in ceasefire talks with Kyiv as Russian forces made gains in Ukraine’s northeast. With his frustration increasing, Trump has lashed out at the Russian president as Moscow has hit Ukraine with some of the three-year-old war’s deadliest drone […]

This groundhog-day cycle of unverified leaks and negotiation stagnation, mimicking the Israel-U.S. dynamic of the Biden days, won't end as long as Trump and Witkoff allow Netanyahu and Dermer hold on to their demand for a partial deal
