5 h. ago Israel strike on Hamas leaders in Doha draws rare rebuke from Trump

US President Donald Trump made a rare public break with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, saying the leader’s decision to launch a unilateral attack against Hamas in Qatar “does not advance Israel or America’s goals”. The strike on the militant group’s leadership in Doha, the capital of a US ally, dramatically escalated regional tensions and risked derailing US-backed efforts to broker a ceasefire in Gaza. “This was a decision made by Prime Minister Netanyahu, it was not a decision made...

5 h. ago US Supreme Court to decide legality of Trump tariffs, puts case on fast track

The US Supreme Court agreed on Tuesday to decide the legality of Donald Trump’s sweeping global tariffs, setting up a major test of one of the Republican president’s boldest assertions of executive power that has been central to his economic and trade agenda. The justices took up the US Justice Department’s appeal of a lower court’s ruling that Trump overstepped his authority in imposing most of his tariffs under a federal law meant for emergencies. The court swiftly acted after the...

14 h. ago Department of War? US defence needs deeper reforms, not a name change

US President Donald Trump has ordered that the Department of Defence be renamed the Department of War, harking back to pre-1947 America. This is puzzling, to say the least. A name change will simply cause administrative disruption, burdening the Pentagon’s bloated bureaucracy with no meaningful improvements in military performance. Across a sprawling bureaucracy of more than 2 million people, every logo, document, website, plaque and building sign would have to be updated. Up to billions of...
