Trump said "great progress" had been made toward ending the war, but warned the U.S. would "obliterate" Iran's power plants, oil wells and Kharg Island if a deal isn't reached shortly.

The U.S. president is conditioning the end of the war on Iran giving up its uranium, and is considering seizing it by force, WSJ cited officials as saying. Such an operation would rank among the most challenging operations Trump has ordered, former U.S. military officials said

Protests driven by backlash against Iran conflict, Trump policies

As the war in Iran threatens to imperil United States President Donald Trump’s legacy, the political stakes also are rising for two of his top lieutenants: Vice President JD Vance and Secretary of State Marco Rubio. The pair, widely viewed as potential successors to Trump, have been thrust into still-developing negotiations to end the war at a moment when the Republican Party is already weighing its post-Trump future. Vance has taken a cautious approach, reflecting his scepticism toward prolonged US military involvement, while Rubio has aligned himself closely with Trump’s hawkish stance and emerged as one of the administration’s most vocal defenders of the campaign. Trump has said both men were involved in efforts to force Iran to accept US demands to dismantle its nuclear and ballistic missile programmes and allow oil traffic to pass freely through the Strait of Hormuz. With the next presidential election due in 2028 and term limits barring Trump from running again, the president has been putting the succes...

WASHINGTON: Demonstrators decrying President Donald Trump’s policies took to city streets across the United States on Saturday in the third edition of the “No Kings” rallies that organisers hoped will be the largest single-day non-violent protest in US history. The two previous No Kings events attracted millions of participants. Singers Bruce Springsteen and Joan Baez headlined a rally at the state capitol in Minnesota, where upward of 100,000 people gathered in an area that became a flashpoint over Trump’s crackdown on illegal immigration and the incursion of federal immigration agents into Democratic-led urban centres. Other major rallies took place in New York, Los Angeles and Washington, but two-thirds of the events were happening outside major city centres, a nearly 40 per cent jump for smaller communities from the movement’s first mobilisation last June. “The defining story of this mobilisation is not just how many people are protesting, but where they are protesting,” said Leah Greenberg, co-founder of...

Milioane de americani sunt așteptați să participe sâmbătă, 28 martie, la protestele „No Kings”, organizate împotriva administrației Trump, în ceea ce ar putea deveni cea mai amplă mobilizare de acest tip din istoria recentă a Statelor Unite.

Analiștii au un deja-vu în ceea ce privește „jocul” președintelui Trump cu ultimatumurile: la fel s-a întâmplat și cu ultimatumurile acordate Rusiei, susține profesorul Radu Carp. Nici cel de-al treilea ultimatum - de 10 zile - trimis Iranului nu va putea stopa creșterea prețului petrolului.

United States President Donald Trump said on Friday that “Cuba is next” in his latest threat against the Caribbean island, as he dismissed concerns that recent American military actions would cost him political support. Cuba’s communist government has faced mounting pressure from Trump, who imposed a de facto oil blockade in January and mused about “taking” the country. Speaking at the Saudi-backed FII Priority investment forum in Miami, Trump said his Make America Great Again (MAGA) movement wanted “strength” and “victory”, citing the January raid where US forces seized Venezuelan leader Nicolas Maduro. “I built this great military. I said, “You’ll never have to use it,” but sometimes you have to use it,” Trump said. “And Cuba is next, by the way. But pretend I didn’t say that.” Trump did not specify what he planned to do with Cuba, telling the media to “disregard that statement” before repeating “Cuba’s next” to laughter from the audience. In his Friday speech, the Republican president also made a teasing c...

US paper currency will bear ‌President Donald Trump’s signature starting this summer, the first time a sitting president has signed American money, the Treasury Department said on Thursday. The redesigned notes, planned to mark the 250th anniversary of American independence, will also, for the first time in 165 years, drop the signature of the ​US treasurer, who reports to the Treasury Secretary and oversees the Bureau of Engraving and Printing, the US ​Mint and other Treasury functions. The first $100 bills with Trump’s signature and that of US Treasury Secretary ⁠Scott Bessent will be printed in June, followed by other bills in subsequent months. The new bills may take several ​weeks to circulate through banks. The Treasury is still producing notes bearing the signatures of former president Joe Biden’s Treasury secretary, Janet ​Yellen, and former Treasurer Lynn Malerba. Malerba will be the last of an unbroken line of treasurers whose signatures have appeared on US federal currency since 1861, when the US g...

David Sacks will lead a new tech-focused advisory group established by the White House, which will include key leaders like Nvidia’s Jensen Huang and Meta’s Mark Zuckerberg. David Sacks, a venture capitalist who became a special White House official under US President Donald Trump last year, has wrapped up his 130-day tenure as crypto and AI czar but will continue to shape policy in a new role. “We've now used up that time,” Sacks told Bloomberg on Thursday, noting that he will continue making policy recommendations across a broad range of tech industries as co-chair of the President’s Council of Advisors on Science and Technology (PCAST). Sacks has been an influential figure in the White House since Trump tabbed him in December 2024 as his key adviser on technology. Reuters noted that under ​US rules, such special ⁠government employees are limited to 130 days of work in a 12-month period. Read more

The Treasury Department announced plans to add US President Donald Trump’s signature to US currency, reportedly starting with the $100 bill in June.  US President Donald Trump is set to become the first sitting president in history to have his signature put on US paper currency. In an announcement on Thursday, the US Department of the Treasury said the move would mark the 250th anniversary of the US. It will put both Trump and Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent’s signatures on future US notes. “There is no more powerful way to recognize the historic achievements of our great country and President Donald J. Trump than U.S. dollar bills bearing his name, and it is only appropriate that this historic currency be issued at the Semiquincentennial,” Bessent said. Read more

Calling the Iran conflict a shame, Trump says the only reason he is doing it is to stop death

'They're great negotiators and are begging for a deal, but I don't know if we'll do that,' Trump says

Israel launched strikes across Iran on Thursday, hours after US President Donald Trump said Tehran wanted a deal to end the nearly four-week war despite its top diplomat rejecting any talks with Washington. The conflict has mushroomed to draw in nations around the Middle East, sending energy markets into a tailspin and threatening to torpedo the global economy. Iran, under near-daily bombardment since a joint US-Israeli attack started the war on February 28, was hit early on Thursday by what the Israeli army said was “a wide-scale wave of strikes targeting infrastructure”, including in the central city of Isfahan. In turn, an Iranian missile attack activated sirens across central Israel, including Tel Aviv and parts of Jerusalem, on Thursday morning, according to the Israeli military, the first launches it identified from Iran in more than 14 hours. Trump, whose daily statements have swung wildly from threatening to conciliatory, said talks to end the war were ongoing with Iran, but that officials in Tehran w...
