'Nothing has been done' — judge warns Trump officials in deportation case
WASHINGTON — A federal judge has given the Trump administration two weeks to submit evidence on how it is trying to return a Maryland man who officials have conceded was wrongly deported last month to a mega-prison in El Salvador.Judge Paula Xinis accused government officials of inaction in the case of Salvadoran national Kilmar Ábrego García, warning "there will be no tolerance for gamesmanship".She said she would decide if the government acted in good faith or was in contempt of court.The Supreme Court has ordered the administration to "facilitate" the 29-year-old's release, though El Salvador President Nayib Bukele said on a visit to the White House on Monday he did not "have the power" to return him.The Trump administration maintains Ábrego...

Zuckerberg defends Instagram purchase in Meta monopoly trial
SAN FRANCISCO — Meta boss Mark Zuckerberg defended his company's purchases of photo-sharing app Instagram and messaging service WhatsApp in testimony on Tuesday.He took the witness stand for a second day in a landmark monopoly case brought by the Federal Trade Commission in Washington.Lawyers for the FTC asked Zuckerberg if Meta could have built its own app to compete with Instagram instead of buying the competitor."I'm sure we could have built an app," he responded.

Nvidia expects $5.5bn hit as US tightens chip export rules to China
WASHINGTON — Microchip maker Nvidia said it would be hit with $5.5bn (£4.2bn) in costs after the US government tightened export rules to China.The chip manufacturing giant, which has been at the heart of the artificial intelligence (AI) boom, will require licenses to export its H20 AI chip to China, which has been one of its most popular.The rules come amid an escalating trade war between the US and China, with both countries introducing steep trade tariffs on each other covering various goods.Nvidia shares plunged almost 6% in after-hours trading.Nvidia announced on Tuesday that the US government had told it last week that the H20 chip required a permit to be sold to China, including Hong Kong.The tech giant said federal officials had advised them the license requirement "will be...

WASHINGTON — Meta boss Mark Zuckerberg has taken the witness stand in a landmark antitrust trial to defend his company against allegations that his company operates a social media monopoly.His testimony is part of a case first brought by the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) in 2020 during the final days of the first Trump administration.The US competition watchdog alleges Meta unfairly dominated the market through its acquisitions of photo-sharing app Instagram in 2012 and the messaging service WhatsApp in 2014.The FTC is seeking to break up Meta by forcing a spinoff of Instagram or WhatsApp. Meta says there's plenty of competition in social media, including from apps such as TikTok, X, and YouTube.Wearing a dark suit and light blue tie, Zuckerberg was the first witness in the case on...
