One day, three crises and Trump's free-wheeling foreign policy on display
WASHINGTON — On Wednesday, in a series of high-stakes diplomatic episodes around the globe, Trump's free-wheeling attitude toward foreign policy was on full display, playing out in real-time through posts on his Truth Social account.For his supporters, it was the president's "art of the deal" in action, using every negotiating tool and tactic at his disposal.For critics, it was another day of disruption for its own sake – with little apparent concern for the risks involved or the potential consequences.Wednesday began with news that the US is directly negotiating with Hamas leaders for the release of American hostages still in Gaza. Contacting a group designated a foreign terrorist organization by the US since 1997 represents a dramatic shift away from decades of US...

Record number of Americans applied for UK citizenship after Trump re-election

WASHINGTON — Six weeks into his presidency, Donald Trump came to a US Capitol controlled by his Republican Party to take a lengthy victory lap."We have accomplished more in 43 days than most administrations accomplished in four years or eight years, and we are just getting started," he told the joint session of Congress.In typical Trumpian hyperbole, he said that "many" believed his to be the most successful start to a presidency in US history.

SpaceX’s Starship calls off first flight attempt since explosive mishap
WASHINGTON — SpaceX is standing down from the eighth uncrewed test flight of its gargantuan Starship mega rocket.The mission was expected to lift off during an hourlong launch window that opened at 5:30 p.m. CT (6:30 p.m. ET) from SpaceX’s Starbase facilities in South Texas.But a couple of issues, including an undisclosed issue with the Super Heavy booster, cropped up during the countdown to the launch.

Donald Trump
Trump's tariffs risk economic turbulence and voter backlash
WASHINGTON — Donald Trump has been threatening major tariffs on America's two largest trading partners, Canada and Mexico, for more than a month. It now appears that the day of reckoning is at hand.The risk for the president is that his sweeping tariffs, which also target China, may drive up prices for businesses and consumers in the months ahead, damaging the health of the US economy — the issue that Americans say they care about most.The economy and inflation was at the top of voter concerns last November – concerns Trump promised to address as he stormed back to the White House, partly on the back of lingering discontent about soaring prices early in the Biden presidency.Trump can comfortably boast that he has delivered many of his most striking campaign promises – including...

Hegseth orders pause in US cyber-offensive against Russia
WASHINGTON — US President Donald Trump's administration is pausing its offensive cyber operations against Russia, officials say, as a diplomatic push continues to end the war in Ukraine.The reasoning for the instruction has not been publicly stated, and it is not clear how long the halt might last. The defense department has declined to comment.The directive reportedly came before Trump ended up in a televised row with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky at the White House on Friday.Since returning to office, Trump has markedly softened the American position towards Moscow in eagerness to reach a deal to end the war — following Russia's full-scale invasion more than three years ago.He appeared to echo Moscow's justification for starting the war and announced plans to...
