U.S. President Donald Trump has announced that negotiations with Iran could resume “in the near future,” as the White House weighs whether to join Israel in military operations targeting Iranian nuclear facilities. The president said he would make a final decision within two weeks, signaling a potential pause in American escalation amid rising Middle East tensions. “Based on the fact that there’s a substantial chance of negotiations… I will make my decision whether or not to go within the next two weeks,” Trump said in a statement read by White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt on Thursday. Leavitt confirmed that…

As former President Donald Trump ramps up calls for a sweeping deportation campaign, comparisons are once again being drawn between his immigration record and that of his predecessor, Barack Obama. While Trump has repeatedly vowed to carry out the largest deportation operation in U.S. history, data reveals that the Obama administration deported significantly more people during its time in office. Obama: “Deporter-in-Chief” Over the course of eight years, the Obama administration recorded more than 3.1 million deportations carried out by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), according to data from Syracuse University’s Transactional Records Access Clearinghouse (TRAC). The peak occurred in…

President Donald Trump has once again extended the deadline for a U.S. ban on the popular video-sharing platform TikTok, granting its Chinese parent company, ByteDance, an additional 90 days to finalize a deal that satisfies national security concerns. This marks the third such delay since Congress passed legislation requiring TikTok to either divest from Chinese ownership or face a ban in the United States. The latest extension, formalized through an executive order signed by Trump on June 19, pushes the deadline to September 17. The ban was originally enacted into law by former President Joe Biden as part of a…

President Donald Trump has added a new, towering feature to the White House grounds: two 88-foot-tall flagpoles, one installed on the North Lawn and the other on the South Lawn, calling them a personal gift to the American people and a patriotic enhancement to the historic property. Installation began early on the morning of June 18, with the first U.S. flag raised around 1 p.m. during a brief ceremony on the South Lawn. Trump was joined by Ivanka Trump and Jared Kushner, who were at the White House for the swearing-in of Charles Kushner, Jared’s father, as the U.S. Ambassador…

President Donald Trump’s latest escalation in trade measures against China is casting serious doubt on the possibility of any near-term “grand bargain” between the world’s two largest economies. Economists and analysts now warn that the U.S. is inching closer to a “hard decoupling” from China, a move that could derail trade negotiations and global economic stability. This week, the Trump administration announced new “reciprocal” tariffs of 34% on Chinese exports, pushing the total levies on Chinese goods to over 60%. These increases come on top of existing tariffs imposed since Trump returned to the White House in 2024. Economic Fallout…

President Donald Trump is set to sign an executive order this week extending the deadline for TikTok to divest from its Chinese parent company ByteDance, marking the third delay in a long-running effort to force a U.S.-approved ownership structure for the popular social media platform. The White House confirmed on Tuesday that the new 90-day extension will allow TikTok to continue operations in the United States while the administration works to finalize a deal that would address national security concerns tied to the app’s Chinese ownership. “President Trump will sign an additional executive order this week to keep TikTok up…

The Federal Reserve has revised down its economic forecast for the U.S. and held interest rates steady for the fourth consecutive meeting, signaling a cautious stance amid rising inflationary pressures tied to President Donald Trump’s tariff policies. In its latest policy announcement on Wednesday, the Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) maintained the federal funds rate at 4.25%–4.5%, resisting political pressure from the White House to cut rates sharply. Just hours before the Fed’s decision, President Trump lashed out at Fed Chair Jay Powell, calling him “stupid” and asking if he could “appoint myself” to the central bank. Trump also demanded…

Washington, D.C. — The Trump administration’s use of a “golden share” to approve the $14.9 billion sale of U.S. Steel to Japan’s Nippon Steel has unsettled dealmakers and global investors, raising fears it could signal a new precedent in how politically sensitive foreign takeovers are handled in the United States. Announced last week, the agreement allows the U.S. government to hold a perpetual golden share in U.S. Steel, granting it veto power over key corporate decisions, including delays to Nippon’s investment commitments, closure of plants, and changes to raw material sourcing. Notably, this golden share does not include an equity…

Washington, D.C. — U.S. President Donald Trump has made his most pointed remarks yet about possible American military action against Iran, telling reporters Wednesday that a decision could come within days and that the next week would be “very big” in shaping the future of the escalating war between Israel and the Islamic Republic of Iran. “I may do it. I may not do it. Nobody knows what I’m going to do,” Trump said at the White House. “The next week is going to be very big — maybe less than a week.” Trump’s comments came hours after Iran’s Supreme…
