Biden's move on missiles for Ukraine angers Trump allies
WASHINGTON — President Joe Biden's apparent green light for Ukraine to strike Russia with US-made long-range missiles has caused consternation among some of Donald Trump's allies.Trump himself has not commented, but he won the election after promising to end the war — and several people close to him have condemned the move as a dangerous escalation.Biden has committed tens of billions of dollars to Kyiv's war effort, and at the weekend he reportedly ditched a long-standing red line on Ukraine's use of American weaponry to launch attacks deep into Russia.Donald Trump Jr tweeted that the president was trying to "get World War Three going" before his father took office.Biden's decision has not been formally confirmed and it may never be.When asked about how...

Trial begins for men accused of smuggling Indian family who froze to death at US-Canada border
TORONTO — Nearly three years after an Indian family of four froze to death in Canada during an ill-fated attempt to enter the US, two men are facing trial, accused of trying to help smuggle them across the border.It was a backpack with child’s clothing and toys that first worried US Border Patrol agents.That winter morning in January 2022, after a fierce blizzard, authorities had arrested a man driving a van near the US-Canada border, suspecting him of smuggling migrants.Along with the driver, border guards picked up seven Indian nationals.

Top Republican says Trump nominees are ‘disruptors’
WASHINGTON — Washington's highest-ranking Republican has said that President-elect Donald Trump is tapping "disruptors" to lead his incoming administration."They are persons who will shake up the status quo," House Speaker Mike Johnson said Sunday on CNN's State of the Union. "I think that's by design."Trump continues to announce officials who he wants to fill high-ranking positions in his administration, seeming to favour close allies over those with related policy experience.Some of those picks have sent shockwaves through Washington and caused bipartisan concern. But those close to Trump say there are back-up plans in place if these nominees can't muster the support needed to be approved.Trump's defense secretary pick Pete Hegseth has...

Tropical Storm Sara closes in on Central America
WASHINGTON — Tropical Storm Sara is here and closing in on Central America where it will unleash disastrous flooding rain and mudslides in the region.Earlier forecasts from the National Hurricane Center told residents along the eastern Gulf of Mexico to monitor the storm for its potential to reach the US, but the center now believes the storm might not survive its trek through Central America and Mexico’s Yucatán Peninsula.Sara, which formed Thursday afternoon as it closed in on the Honduras-Nicaragua border, is the 18th named storm of the 2024 Atlantic hurricane season. It’s a season that’s lived up to initial hyperactive forecasts and hasn’t played by the rules.Tropical activity should be winding down in November, but Sara is now the third named storm this month thanks to...
