Oregon governor says Trump does not have authority to deploy troops to Portland
Oregon sues Trump administration over plans to deploy troops
PORTLAND – The National Guard will be deployed to Portland, Oregon, for the next two months, following an order by US President Donald Trump.At least 200 National Guard members will be deployed to the city to "protect federal property" where protests are "occurring or likely to occur", according to a memo sent by US Defence Secretary Pete Hegseth on Sunday.Trump on Saturday said he had authorised the use of "full force" if needed to suppress protests targeting immigration detention centres.Oregon has responded by suing the Trump administration, arguing that the deployment of the National Guard to Portland is "unlawful".The lawsuit, filed on Sunday by Oregon Attorney General Dan Rayfield, called the move "provocative and arbitrary", and...

New York Mayor Eric Adams ends his reelection bid
NEW YORK – Mayor of New York City Eric Adams is ending his reelection bid, a move long sought by rivals of Democratic nominee Zohran Mamdani who have wanted to consolidate the opposition against him.Adams announced his decision Sunday in a video posted to X, saying “despite all we’ve achieved, I cannot continue my reelection campaign, the constant media speculation about my future and the campaign finance board’s decision to withhold millions of dollars have undermined my ability to raise the funds needed for a serious campaign.”“This campaign was for the underserved, the marginalized, the abandoned and betrayed by government,” Adams said. “Since then, it has been my honor to be your mayor, and I’m proud to say that we took that victory four years ago and turned it into...

Trump signals to Erdoğan US could lift ban on F-35 sales to Turkey
WASHINGTON – US President Donald Trump held talks with Turkey's President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan at the White House on Thursday and signalled that Washington might soon lift its hold on sales of advanced fighter jets to Ankara.During Trump's first term, the US removed Turkey from its flagship F-35 fighter jet programme after Turkey, a NATO ally, purchased an air defence system from Russia.US officials worried that Turkey's use of the S-400 surface-to-air missile system could be used to gather data on the capabilities of the F-35 and that the information could end up in Russian hands.Trump started his two-hour meeting with Erdoğan by offering hope that a resolution to the matter could be found during the leaders' talks."He needs certain things, and we need certain...

WASHINGTON – Hundreds of US generals and admirals around the globe have been called to Virginia for a meeting with Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth next Tuesday, several US officials told CNN, though the reason for the meeting is unclear.The meeting is expected to be held at the military installation in Quantico, Virginia, multiple officials said, adding that no one seems to know what the meeting is about, including the general and flag officers themselves, or why it was suddenly added to the calendar.One source familiar said they’d heard theories ranging from a group physical fitness test, to receiving a briefing on the state of the Defense Department, to a mass firing of officers, but regardless of the reason the sudden convening of so many senior military officers is highly...

Trump demands investigation into alleged ‘triple sabotage’ at the United Nations
NEW YORK – US President Donald Trump is demanding an investigation following what he described as a “triple sabotage” during his visit to the United Nations General Assembly on Tuesday, taking to social media to claim that a series of technical mishaps, involving a stopped escalator, a teleprompter failure and audio issues, were deliberate acts meant to undermine him. “A REAL DISGRACE took place at the United Nations yesterday — Not one, not two, but three very sinister events!” Trump said in a Truth Social post on Wednesday laying out the series of events. During his speech on Tuesday morning in New York, Trump opened by referencing the technical issues, saying, “These are the two things I got from the United Nations: a bad escalator and a bad teleprompter.” The...

Colombian President Gustavo Petro
Colombia's president calls US attacks on alleged drug boats 'act of tyranny'
BOGOTA – US airstrikes on alleged drug-trafficking boats in the Caribbean Sea are an "act of tyranny", Colombia's President Gustavo Petro told the BBC in an interview where he also called for criminal proceedings against US officials if investigations find Colombians were killed in the attacks.President Donald Trump has cast the strikes, which have reportedly killed 17 since they began this month, as needed to stop the flow of fentanyl and other illegal narcotics into the US.Legal experts and lawmakers, though, have questioned if they violate international human rights laws."Why launch a missile if you could simply stop the boat and arrest the crew?" said Petro. "That's what one would call murder."Speaking to the BBC on Wednesday, Petro said there...

White House threatens mass firings if government shuts down
WASHINGTON – The White House budget office is telling federal agencies to prepare plans for mass firings in the event of a government shutdown, with instructions to target programs they are not legally required to continue.The directive, outlined in an Office of Management and Budget memo to agencies and obtained by CNN, represents a sharp break from the government’s handling of past shutdown scenarios — and an escalation by the Trump administration amid a standoff with congressional Democrats over federal funding.In the memo, OMB directs agencies to identify programs whose funds will lapse if Congress fails to meet the September 30 funding deadline and that have no alternative source of funding. Those programs should then be targeted for sweeping reductions in force that could...
