Facebook Tweet Email Link Donald Trump looked like the last king of Scotland. To the skirl of bagpipes, the president welcomed Keir Starmer to one of his Scottish golfing palaces in his mother’s ancestral homeland. The prime minister flew in Monday as a guest and a supplicant in a corner of his own United Kingdom. Starmer was a mere extra as Trump held court in a mind-bending news conference that rollicked through topics like his hatred of wind power, the window frames in his ballroom and Windsor Castle. Trump capped his protocol-reversing day by flying the PM across Scotland on…

Facebook Tweet Email Link President Donald Trump on Tuesday threatened to raise tariffs on Indian imports as high as 25% if the allied nations cannot complete a long-sought trade agreement. “They are going to pay 25%,” Trump said.

Facebook Tweet Email Link Diana Koshyk’s friends said the 23-year-old struggled to get pregnant and suffered several miscarriages before she and her husband finally got the news they were hoping for: they were expecting. Doctors said the pregnancy was high risk, so Koshyk was sent to what she believed was the safest place for her and her baby – the maternity hospital in Kamianske in eastern Ukraine. Early on Tuesday morning, the Russian military struck the hospital with a ballistic missile, killing Koshyk, her unborn child, and two other people. At least 22 were injured, including several nurses and midwives,…
Facebook Tweet Email Link Chinese and American trade negotiators concluded their two-day meeting in Stockholm without a resolution to avert tariffs from skyrocketing back to ultra-high levels that formed an effective blockade on trade between the world’s two largest economies. But President Donald Trump’s trade advisers and their Chinese counterparts sounded a hopeful note. Without an agreement, the United States and China are set to once again place historic tariffs on each other’s imports starting August 12. However, speaking to reporters from Stockholm, Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent and United States Trade Representative Jamieson Greer said the two-day meeting was “constructive,”…
Facebook Tweet Email Link President Donald Trump wants to move on from his administration’s fiasco over the Jeffrey Epstein files, but he keeps hampering that effort by opening his mouth. The most recent instance has to do with precisely why the two men had a falling out about two decades ago. Trump acknowledged on Tuesday that the employees who he said Monday that Epstein poached from him, triggering their breakup, were young women who worked in the spa at his Mar-a-Lago club. “The answer is yes, they were,” he told reporters on Air Force One while traveling back from Scotland.…
