The US Congress has passed legislation directing the Department of Justice to release its investigative files on the late financier Jeffrey Epstein, sending the bill to President Donald Trump for signature.

Trump said he will sign the bill, reversing his earlier opposition. Over the weekend, he had criticised the push for disclosure but later urged Republicans to support transparency, insisting he had “nothing to hide” while framing the files as a distraction from other priorities.

The files include documents from federal …

At the core of the resolution is the creation of an International Stabilisation Force, a multinational contingent that Washington says several nations are prepared to join. The force would work alongside Israel, …
