WASHINGTON — Top national security officials in the Trump administration, including Defence Secretary Pete Hegseth, have reportedly sent war plans for upcoming military strikes against the Houthis to a group chat in a messaging app that included The Atlantic's editor-in-chief, the magazine reported in a story published on Monday.The US National Security Council stated that the text chain "appears to be authentic".Editor-in-chief Jeffrey Goldberg reported that the material in the text chain "contained operational details of forthcoming strikes on Iran-backed Houthis in Yemen, including information about targets, weapons the UK would be deploying, and attack sequencing."It was not immediately clear whether the specifics of the military operation were classified, but...

Mark Carney
Trump looms over Canada's election as campaign begins
TORONTO — Canada's newly appointed Prime Minister Mark Carney has called a snap election, sending the country to the polls on 28 April.The election comes as Canada faces a trade war with the US and calls from President Donald Trump for it to become the 51st American state, issues which are expected to be top of mind for voters.It also comes nine days after Carney, a Liberal, was sworn in as Canada's prime minister following Justin Trudeau's resignation.Carney must now face Conservative leader Pierre Poilievre, whose party had been leading in national polls since mid-2023, though recent polls suggest the race is now neck-and-neck.Speaking in Ottawa on Sunday, Carney said he needed a clear, positive mandate to deal with Trump."We are facing the most significant crisis of...

CARACAS — The first flight carrying Venezuelan migrants deported from the United States is on its way to Venezuela after the two governments reached an agreement Saturday to resume repatriation flights.The US Bureau of Western Hemisphere Affairs confirmed the flight departed from the US and stopped in Honduras, where a change of planes took place.“Today, deportation flights of Venezuelan illegal aliens to their homeland resumed via Honduras,” the department wrote on X.“These individuals had no legal basis to remain in the United States.

Orlando air traffic controller stops pilots mistakenly trying to take off on a taxiway
ORLANDO — The pilots of a Boeing 737 started to mistakenly take off from a taxiway at a Florida airport on Thursday before an air traffic controller told them to stop, the Federal Aviation Administration said, announcing it was investigating the incident.Southwest Airlines Flight 3278 was cleared to take off on a runway at Orlando International Airport, bound for Albany, New York, the FAA said in a statement. The plane, however, started to accelerate on a parallel taxiway instead, prompting an air traffic controller to cancel the takeoff clearance.Taxiways are used by planes to travel between gates and runways, but are not intended for take offs or landings.“The Crew mistook the surface for the nearby runway,” the airline said in a statement. “Southwest is engaged with the NTSB...

US court blocks deportation of Georgetown University researcher
WASHINGTON — A US court has blocked the Trump administration from deporting a Georgetown University researcher who was detained by immigration authorities earlier this week.Badar Khan Suri, an Indian national, is a postdoctoral fellow studying and teaching at the prestigious Washington DC institution on a student visa.The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) accused him of "spreading Hamas propaganda" and having "close connections to a known or suspected terrorist".Suri's lawyer and employer have denied the allegation. His lawyer said in a court filing that his client was targeted because of his wife's "identity as a Palestinian and her constitutionally protected speech".In an order on Thursday, Judge Patricia Tolliver Giles said Suri "shall...

Prior Cybertruck recalls involved failing windshield wipers, trapped accelerator pedals, possible loss of drive power to the wheels, and other issues
Tesla makes largest ever Cybertruck recall
WASHINGTON — Thousands of Tesla Cybertrucks have been recalled in the US due to concerns about part of the electric car's trim falling off in the model's eighth and largest-ever recall.The issue affects more than 46,000 trucks made starting in November 2023, which analysts say amounts to nearly all Cybertrucks.It comes as Tesla, which did not respond to a request for comment, grapples with falling sales amid a backlash against the firm and its boss Elon Musk.On Thursday, US Attorney General Pam Bondi said three unnamed people would face charges for setting fire to Tesla cars and charging stations, accusing them of "domestic terrorism".Tesla does not break out sales of the Cybertruck, but car tech firm Cox Automotive has estimated roughly 39,000 were sold in the US last...

US denies French claims a space researcher was expelled over messages about Trump
WASHINGTON — Competing narratives have emerged between Washington and Paris over why a researcher was recently denied entry to the United States, in the latest example of an immigration refusal under the Trump administration testing international relations.France on Thursday said the unnamed researcher was blocked from entering the US earlier this month after authorities found messages about President Donald Trump on his phone. US officials have since rejected that claim and said the researcher held “confidential information” on an electronic device.France’s minister of higher education and research Philippe Baptiste said that the researcher was traveling to a conference near Houston on March 9 when US authorities found that his phone “contained exchanges with colleagues and...

The executive order comes as the US president tries to reduce America's reliance on imports of the vital materials
Trump uses emergency powers to boost mineral production
WASHINGTON — US President Donald Trump has invoked emergency powers to expand domestic production of critical minerals as he tries to reduce US reliance on imports from countries like China. The executive order, which uses cold war era legislation, instructs government agencies, including the defense department, to prioritise mining projects as well as providing technical and financial support to boost critical mineral production. It comes as a trade war escalates with China, which has overwhelming control over the supply chain of some critical minerals. Last year, Beijing banned the sale of some critical minerals to the US, forcing American firms to look for other sources of the vital materials. "Our national and economic security are now acutely threatened by our...

Trump signs executive order to begin dismantling Education Department
WASHINGTON — President Donald Trump on Thursday signed an executive order to begin dismantling the US Department of Education, seeking to fulfill decades of conservative ambition to get rid of the agency, but raising new questions for the country’s millions of public schools, student-loan holders and parents.No president in modern history has tried to close down a Cabinet-level agency. Shutting down the department wholesale would require an act of Congress, which created the agency in 1979. Trump officials acknowledge they don’t have the necessary votes to dissolve the department that way; instead, the order Trump signed Thursday instructed Education Secretary Linda McMahon to take “all necessary steps to facilitate the closure of the Department of Education and return education...

Venezuela’s Maduro calls US deportation of migrants to El Salvador ‘kidnapping'
CARACAS — Venezuela’s leader has described the deportation of more than 200 mostly Venezuelan migrants sent by the United States to a notorious mega-prison in El Salvador as “kidnapping,” and denied they are criminals while backing calls for their return.“Nayib Bukele should not be an accomplice to this kidnapping, because our boys did not commit any crime in the United States, none,” Nicolas Maduro told supporters Wednesday, referencing El Salvador’s leader, who has struck a deal with US President Donald Trump.“They were not brought to trial, they were not given the right to a defense, the right to due process, they were deceived, handcuffed, put on a plane, kidnapped, and sent to a concentration camp in El Salvador,” Maduro added.The Venezuelan leader, who has ruled...
