September 3, 2025 11:29 am

American businesses could be in line for refunds exceeding $200 billion if the Supreme Court upholds a recent federal appeals court ruling that President Donald Trump unlawfully imposed sweeping tariffs during his second term.

The case centers on Trump’s use of the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA) to levy duties on imports from countries including India, Brazil, and China—at rates as high as 50% and, in China’s case, 145%. The appeals court determined his actions exceeded his legal authority.

As of August 24, US companies had paid more than $210 billion in tariffs now deemed illegal. Trump acknowledged Tuesday …

Antony Rejects Ronaldo’s Call, Picks Real Betis Over Al-Nassr

Antony Rejects Ronaldo’s Call, Picks Real Betis Over Al-Nassr

September 3, 2025 10:00 am

Cristiano Ronaldo’s influence at Al-Nassr has been undeniable, but even his pull was not enough to persuade Brazilian winger Antony to join the Saudi Pro League. Reports in Spain suggest that Ronaldo personally pushed the club to secure Antony’s signature, pressuring Al-Nassr’s hierarchy to present a huge financial offer.

The Saudi side indeed came forward with a lucrative proposal that would have made Antony one of the best-paid players in the league. However, the 24-year-old winger ultimately rejected the approach, choosing instead to return to Spain and commit his future to Real Betis until 2030.

Antony’s decision was driven by …

Iñigo Martínez: ‘Real Madrid could never keep up with us’

Iñigo Martínez: ‘Real Madrid Could Never Keep up With Us’

September 3, 2025 9:02 am

Barcelona defender Iñigo Martínez has spoken with confidence about his side’s recent dominance over Real Madrid, insisting that Los Blancos struggled to match Barça’s intensity on the pitch.

“Real Madrid respected us, and that was clear on the pitch,” Martínez said. “We always felt like they could never keep up with us.”

The Spanish centre-back, who joined Barcelona from Athletic Club in 2023, has quickly become a reliable figure in Xavi Hernández’s defensive setup. Known for his composure, aerial strength and ball-playing ability, Martínez has often been tasked with organizing the backline in high-pressure fixtures, including El Clásico.

His remarks …

Appeals Court Reinstates Fired FTC Commissioner Slaughter

Appeals Court Reinstates Fired FTC Commissioner Slaughter

September 3, 2025 8:51 am

A federal appeals court has ruled that Rebecca Kelly Slaughter, a Federal Trade Commission (FTC) commissioner removed by President Donald Trump earlier this year, can be temporarily reinstated. The decision marks a significant setback for Trump’s effort to curb the power of independent federal regulators.

Slaughter, along with fellow Democratic commissioner Alvaro Bedoya, was fired by Trump in March. In July, a district court ordered Slaughter’s reinstatement, but the Justice Department quickly secured an emergency stay blocking that move. On Tuesday, the appeals court lifted the stay in a 2-1 ruling and also rejected the administration’s request to accelerate the …

September 3, 2025 8:42 am

Barcelona wonderkid Lamine Yamal has shared his thoughts on the ongoing speculation linking Athletic Club star Nico Williams with a move to the Camp Nou. Speaking candidly about the transfer rumors, Yamal made it clear that while he has spoken with Williams, he ultimately respects that the decision lies solely with the winger himself.

“I talked to Nico Williams, but in the end I told him it’s his path,” Yamal said. “I’m too young to tell someone what they should do. The important thing is that he enjoys himself and is happy wherever he is.”

The comments highlight Yamal’s maturity …
