Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, right, speaks during a dinner at the White House with US President Donald Trump earlier this month.
Trump ‘caught off guard’ by Israel’s actions in Gaza and Syria last week as skepticism of Netanyahu grows inside White House
WASHINGTON — US President Donald Trump was caught by surprise last week by Israeli actions in Gaza and Syria, and in both instances phoned Benjamin Netanyahu to “rectify” the matter, according to the White House.That underscores what sources have said is an increasingly tense dynamic between the two leaders.A strike last Thursday on the only Catholic Church in Gaza drew an immediate negative reaction from Trump, who phoned Netanyahu to voice his displeasure and to ensure the Israeli leader released a statement calling the strike a mistake.Trump was similarly surprised by Israel airstrikes targeting government buildings in the Syrian capital Damascus last week at a moment his administration is working to rebuild the war-torn nation.“The president enjoys a good working relationship...

Man dies after being pulled into an MRI by a metal chain he wore, police say
WASHINGTON — A man died last week after being pulled into an MRI machine by a “large metallic chain” police said he was wearing around his neck – highlighting the importance of checking for any metallic objects before going near the powerful magnets used in the medical imaging machines.The 61-year-old died Thursday, a day after Nassau County police said he was pulled into the MRI machine at Nassau Open MRI in Westbury, New York, on Long Island. The victim was wearing “a large metallic chain around his neck causing him to be drawn into the machine,” prompting an unspecified “medical episode,” police said in a news release.The man’s entry to the room “while the scan was in progress” was not authorized, police said.He was taken to a hospital in critical condition before...

Powerful Ecuador drug lord 'Fito' extradited to US
WASHINGTON — The powerful Ecuadorean gang leader Adolfo Macías Villamar has been extradited to the United States to face charges of drug and arms trafficking.Known as "Fito", he was recaptured in June, almost a year after he escaped from a high-security prison where he was serving a 34-year sentence for a series of crimes.He will appear in a US federal court on Monday, where he will plead not guilty to international charges of drug and weapons trafficking, his lawyer told Reuters.Macías was leader of Los Choneros gang, which is linked to powerful criminal organisations from Mexico and the Balkans.

Stoplights change in front of the US Capitol as Republican lawmakers struggle to pass US President Donald Trump's sweeping spending and tax bill, on Capitol Hill in Washington, DC, on June 30, 2025.
Roughly 6 in 10 Americans oppose Trump’s megabill, poll finds
WASHINGTON — Roughly 6 in 10 Americans say they oppose the GOP domestic policy bill that President Donald Trump recently signed into law, according to a new CNN poll conducted by SSRS.In the wake of his most sweeping legislative achievement since returning to office, Trump’s rating for handling the budget has slumped 11 points since March, with a rising majority also saying he’s gone too far in cutting government programs.While there are signs that opinions have yet to fully settle – fewer than a third of the public reports following news about the bill very closely, and roughly half of Americans don’t express strong feelings one way or the other – the initial strong opposition to the bill outpaces initial strong support.Americans say, 61% to 39%, that they oppose the spending...

South Korea retrying spy chief who assassinated a president
SEOUL — Two gunshots.That is how Yoo Seok-sul begins recounting the night of Friday, 26 October, 1979.A former security guard in the Korea Central Intelligence Agency, or KCIA, as the South's spy division was known, Yoo has many stories to tell. But this is perhaps the most infamous.He remembers the time — nearly 19:40 — and where he had been sitting — in the break room. He was resting after his shift guarding the entrance to the low-rise compound where President Park Chung-hee entertained his most trusted lieutenants. They called it the "safe house".In his 70s now, wiry with sharp eyes, Yoo speaks hesitantly at first — but it comes back to him quickly. After the first shots, more gunfire followed, he says. The guards were on high alert but they waited outside for...

Pam Bondi has said the memo released last week on Epstein by the Department of Justice speaks for itself
Trump says attorney general should release any 'credible' information on Epstein
WASHINGTON — US President Donald Trump has said Attorney General Pam Bondi should release "whatever she thinks is credible" on sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, as he faces a rare backlash from supporters after seeking to draw a line under the case.Bondi has been lambasted by some of Trump's political base after she said last week there was no evidence that Epstein kept a "client list" or was blackmailing powerful figures.At the weekend Trump urged supporters not to "waste time and energy" on the controversy. But allies of the president, including House of Representatives Speaker Mike Johnson, are calling for "transparency".Epstein's 2019 death in a US prison while awaiting federal trial was ruled a suicide.But many in Trump's Make America...

'Not our war' — Trump's Nato weapons deal for Ukraine sparks MAGA anger
WASHINGTON — Some conservative members of Donald Trump's "Make America Great Again" movement have reacted angrily to the president's plans to sell weapons to Nato, arguing it is a betrayal of his promise to end US involvement in foreign wars.On Monday, Trump said he would send weapons to Ukraine via Nato, while also threatening Russia with more tariffs if a deal to end the war is not reached in 50 days.Republican Congresswomen Marjorie Taylor Greene, a key Trump ally, and former Trump strategist Steve Bannon are among those who have criticised the decision, with Bannon telling his podcast listeners that Ukraine is a "European war".The White House has emphasised that Europe will pay for the US-made weapons.In an interview with the New York Times, Greene - an...

WASHINGTON — US President Donald Trump said on Monday he has struck a deal with NATO to purchase the weapons that will be delivered to Ukraine, as he met NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte in Washington."We made a deal today where we will be sending weapons to (Ukraine) and NATO will be paying for it," Trump announced at a press conference at the White House.The US is ready to implement 100% tariffs on Russia in response to President Vladimir Putin's lack of interest in ending his war in Ukraine, which could kick in in 50 days, according to Trump."We’re very unhappy with Russia and we’ll be doing very severe tariffs ... at about 100%," Trump said."We’ve spent $250 billion on this war ... and we want to see it end.
