Trump signs order aimed at overhauling US elections
WASHINGTON — US President Donald Trump has signed an executive order that aims to overhaul US federal elections, including by requiring voters to show proof of citizenship and limiting when states can receive mail-in ballots.Experts warn the move could disenfranchise millions of Americans who do not have easy access to a passport or other legal documents proving they have the right to vote.It is unclear how enforceable the order is, given US states have wide legal leeway to determine how they run their elections. It is expected to be challenged in court.The order, titled "Preserving and Protecting the Integrity of American Elections", was signed by Trump on Tuesday at the White House."Election fraud. You've heard the term. We're going to end it, hopefully. At least...

The leak happened despite a crackdown on sensitive information leaks
Trump's national security team's chat app leak stuns Washington
WASHINGTON — There are few US presidential actions more sensitive, more fraught with peril, than when and where to use American military force.If such information were obtained by American adversaries in advance, it could put lives – and national foreign policy objectives — at risk.Fortunately for the Trump administration, a group chat with information about an impending US strike in Yemen among senior national security officials on the encrypted chat app Signal did not fall into the wrong hands.Unfortunately for the Trump administration, the message thread was observed by an influential political journalist, Jeffrey Goldberg.The Atlantic Magazine editor-in-chief, in an article posted on Monday on his publication's website, says he appears to have been inadvertently added to the...

US cuts to HIV aid will cost millions of lives  — UNAids chief
GENEVA — US funding cuts will lead to an additional 2,000 new HIV infections each day and over six million further deaths over the next four years, the UNAids chief has warned.It would mark a stark reversal in the global fight against HIV, which has seen the number of deaths from the disease decrease from more than two million in 2004 to 600,000 in 2023, the most recent year for which figures are available.UNAids Executive Director Winnie Byanyima said the US government's decision to pause foreign aid — which included funding for HIV programs — was already having devastating consequences.She called on the US to reverse the cuts immediately, warning women and girls were being hit particularly hard.US President Donald Trump announced the pause on foreign aid, for an initial 90...

US will put 25% tariff on countries that buy Venezuelan oil
WASHINGTON — In a Truth Social post, Trump said Venezuela has been "very hostile" to the US and countries purchasing oil from it will be forced to pay the tariff on all their trade to the US starting April 2.The tariffs would most likely add to the taxes facing China, which in 2023 bought 68% of the oil exported by Venezuela, according to a 2024 analysis by the US Energy Information Administration. Spain, India, Russia, Singapore and Vietnam are also among the countries receiving oil from Venezuela, the report shows.But even the United States — despite its sanctions against Venezuela — buys oil from that country. In January, the United States imported 8.6 million barrels of oil from Venezuela, according to the Census Bureau, out of roughly 202 million barrels imported that...

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...

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.
