Three Republican-led states to send hundreds of National Guard troops to Washington
WASHINGTON — Three Republican-led states announced Saturday the deployment of hundreds of National Guard troops to Washington, D.C., intensifying President Donald Trump’s federal intervention aimed at reshaping local policing and addressing crime and homelessness in the nation’s capital.West Virginia said it is sending 300 to 400 troops, South Carolina committed 200, and Ohio pledged 150 military police in the coming days.The reinforcements follow Trump’s executive order federalizing the D.C. police force and activating around 800 District of Columbia National Guard members.By expanding the military footprint in the Democratic-controlled city, Trump is tightening federal control under the justification of a public safety emergency, despite city leaders noting that violent crime is...

Appeals court backs Trump's foreign aid freeze, triggering global concerns
WASHINGTON — A US Court of Appeals ruled on Wednesday that the Trump administration can suspend or terminate billions of dollars of congressionally appropriated funding for foreign aid, seven months after the US president's executive order triggered a global crisis in the humanitarian aid sector.A divided panel of appeals court judges concluded that grant recipients challenging the freeze did not meet the requirements for a preliminary injunction restoring the flow of funds.The ruling clears any controversy surrounding the issue for US President Donald Trump, who, on the first day of his second term in the White House, issued an executive order directing the US State Department and the US Agency for International Development (USAID) to freeze spending on foreign aid.After groups of...

Melania Trump threatens to sue Hunter Biden for $1bn over Epstein claim
WASHINGTON — First Lady Melania Trump has threatened to sue Hunter Biden for more than $1bn after he claimed she was introduced to her husband by sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.Lawyers acting on behalf of the first lady, who married US President Donald Trump in 2005, described the claim as "false, disparaging, defamatory and inflammatory".Biden, son of former US President Joe Biden, made the comments during an interview earlier this month, in which he strongly criticised the president's former ties to Epstein.Donald Trump was a friend of Epstein, but has said the pair fell out in the early 2000s because the financier had poached employees who worked at the spa in Trump's Florida golf club.A letter from the first lady's lawyers and addressed to an attorney for Hunter...

Peru president issues amnesty for hundreds accused of atrocities
LIMA — Peru's president has signed a controversial new law pardoning soldiers, police and civilian militias on trial for atrocities during the country's two-decade armed conflict against Maoist rebels.Dina Boluarte enacted the measure that was passed by Congress in July, despite an order from the Inter-American Court of Human Rights to suspend it pending a review of its impact on victims.The law will benefit hundreds of members of the armed forces, police and self-defence committees accused of crimes committed between 1980 and 2000.It will also mandate the release of those over 70 serving sentences for such offences.During the conflict, the Shining Path and Tupac Amaru rebel groups waged insurgencies in which an estimated 70,000 people were killed and more than 20,000...

US officials race to prepare for historic Trump-Putin summit
WASHINGTON — American officials scrambling this weekend to identify and lock down a venue for Friday’s summit between President Donald Trump and his Russian counterpart quickly discovered a major snag: summertime is peak tourist season in Alaska, and options both available and equipped to host the two world leaders were severely limited.When word reached certain prominent Alaskans that Trump and Putin were coming, a few began reaching out to the president’s allies with a proposition: could their home be an option? It’s unclear if those offers ever reached White House officials, who were calling sites in Juneau, the state capital, along with Anchorage and Fairbanks.Organizers of the summit soon came to believe the only city in the massive state with viable options for the summit...

Trump demands homeless people 'immediately' move out of Washington
WASHINGTON — US President Donald Trump has said homeless people must "move out" of Washington DC as he vowed to tackle crime in the city, but the mayor pushed back against the White House likening the capital to Baghdad."We will give you places to stay, but FAR from the Capital," he posted on Sunday.

WASHINGTON — US fashion designer Willy Chavarria has apologized after a shoe he created in collaboration with Adidas Originals was criticized for "cultural appropriation".The Oaxaca Slip-On was inspired by traditional leather sandals known as huaraches made by Indigenous artisans in Mexico.The Mexican president was among those who spoke out against the footwear, which was reportedly made in China without consultation or credit to the communities who originated the design.Chavarria said in a statement sent to the BBC: "I am deeply sorry that the shoe was appropriated in this design and not developed in direct and meaningful partnership with the Oaxacan community."Cultural appropriation is defined as "the unacknowledged or inappropriate adoption of the customs,...
