Hamas Hostage Prisoner Swap: Lists Exchanged In Sharm

October 8, 2025 8:01 am

Hamas handed over lists on Wednesday of Israeli hostages and Palestinian prisoners proposed for a swap in indirect ceasefire talks in Sharm el Sheikh, Egypt, as U.S. envoys Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner were due to join negotiators trying to halt the two year war in Gaza. The exchange marks a key procedural step in discussions that aim to secure a ceasefire, Israeli troop withdrawal and the release of detainees on both sides.

The development is significant because it is the first time negotiators have openly exchanged names tied to a formal swap under the U.S. plan. Diplomats and mediators …

Trump Insurrection Act Threat Escalates Military Dispute

October 7, 2025 1:12 pm

President Donald Trump said Monday he would consider invoking the Insurrection Act to bypass court rulings and deploy federal troops in U.S. cities where local officials are resisting. “We have an Insurrection Act for a reason,” Trump told reporters in the Oval Office, adding, “If people were being killed and courts were holding us up, or governors or mayors were holding us up, sure, I’d do that.”

That remark marks a sharp turn in Trump’s escalating standoff with Democratic-led cities over the use of the military in domestic law enforcement. His broader campaign has already seen federalization of National Guard …

Israel Strikes Gaza As Trump Peace Plan Offers Hope

October 5, 2025 9:48 am

Israeli planes and tanks pounded areas across the Gaza Strip overnight into Sunday, destroying several residential buildings and killing at least 16 people, while Palestinians awaited talks in Egypt to discuss a U.S. plan that President Donald Trump said included an “initial withdrawal line” and would trigger an immediate ceasefire once Hamas confirmed, witnesses and local health authorities said.

The strikes came even after Trump, on his Truth Social platform on Saturday, said Israel had agreed to an initial withdrawal line inside Gaza and that a ceasefire would become “IMMEDIATELY effective” when Hamas confirmed its acceptance. Egypt prepared to host …

Trump Tells Israel To Halt Gaza Strikes, Hamas Accepts Deal

October 4, 2025 12:50 am

President Donald Trump on Friday demanded that Israel immediately stop bombing Gaza after Hamas agreed to release hostages under the terms of a U.S.-backed peace plan, setting off what may be a fragile shift in one of the world’s most volatile conflicts.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s office announced the country would begin implementing stage one of the Trump plan—hostage releases—while Israeli media reported reduced military activity. But key issues like Hamas disarmament remain unresolved.

The 20-point proposal, unveiled earlier this week, calls for a ceasefire, the return of all hostages (including remains), a phased Israeli withdrawal, and Hamas’s demilitarization. …

Pfizer Agrees To Slash U.S. Drug Prices In Medicaid Deal

October 1, 2025 9:21 am

The Trump administration has secured a landmark agreement with pharmaceutical giant Pfizer aimed at easing the burden of prescription drug costs for low-income Americans. Under the deal, Pfizer will sell its medications to Medicaid patients at the same lowest prices offered in other wealthy countries, a shift that could significantly narrow the long-standing gap between U.S. drug costs and those abroad.

New medicines launched by the company will also debut in the U.S. at prices matching those in other developed nations. For years, American consumers have paid more than triple the cost of brand-name drugs compared with their counterparts overseas, …

During UN Meeting, US Considers Restricting Iranian Shoppers

September 5, 2025 5:15 pm

The Trump administration is weighing new restrictions that could sharply curtail the movements of several foreign delegations at the United Nations, raising tensions just weeks before the annual General Assembly convenes in New York.

Palestinian leader Mahmoud Abbas and his delegation were already denied visas, a decision that signaled a broader tightening of rules for visiting officials. Now, officials are considering imposing similar limitations on delegations from Iran, Sudan, Zimbabwe, and, unexpectedly, Brazil—a country long granted ceremonial honors during the high-profile gathering set to begin September 22.

One proposal under discussion would severely limit the everyday freedoms of Iranian diplomats …

WTO Angers Trump Administration With Ruling On China Tariffs

September 16, 2020 8:15 am

The World Trade Organisation has left the Trump administration fuming after it ruled that the United States breached global trading rules by imposing multibillion-dollar tariffs in trade war with China.

The Trump administration argued its tariffs imposed two years ago on more than $200 billion in Chinese goods were justified because China was stealing intellectual property and forcing U.S. companies to transfer technology for access to China’s markets.

But the WTO’s three-member panel said the U.S. duties broke trading rules because they applied only to China and were above maximum rates agreed to by the United States.

Washington had not …

To Save His Presidency, Donald Trump May Tear America Apart

July 8, 2020 3:30 pm

He’s running to keep the Confederate flag — seen by many Americans as a symbol of slavery — flying. He’s guarding statues that honor generals who took up arms against the United States. He has attacked a Black NASCAR driver and even slammed the Washington Redskins football team for finally looking for a less offensive name.

Without a strong economy to carry him through reelection, Trump is picking the most polarizing fight possible: He hopes enough Americans will agree

Trump Should Be Worried About November

May 2, 2020 12:47 pm

Even amid a roaring pandemic, there are currently two Americas: “Unemployment America” and “Stock Market America”, dueling lenses to view the same country.

Unemployment America is bleak but in Stock Market America things are looking up. Taken together, this split reality portends a rough ride for the president’s re-election bid and even greater national discord. Donald Trump has every reason to worry.

First, Unemployment America. On Thursday, the labor department reported that another 3.8 million people filed first-time unemployment claims, bringing the total of those who are recently out of work to more than 30 million.

Most Americans Lose Faith In Trump’s Pandemic Talks

April 29, 2020 7:54 am

Many Americans appear to be losing faith in what President Donald Trump says about the coronavirus pandemic.

According to a Reuters/Ipsos poll released on Tuesday, almost everyone rejected Trump’s remark that COVID-19 may be treated by injecting infected people with bleach or other disinfectants.

The April 27-28 public opinion poll found that fewer than half of all adults in the U.S. – 47% – said they were “very” or “somewhat” likely to follow recommendations Trump makes about the virus.

That is 15 percentage points lower than the number who said they would follow Trump’s advice in a survey that ran …
