Pete Hegseth decides that the US government will execute a man on death row - in public.

The president meets the Chinese leader in Washington DC. The red carpet is rolled out. Just about.

The frenemies are more friends than foes for now - but the two are in a battle over AI - and questions still remain if Trump would ever support Taiwan if the Chinese ever sought to take the island.

Trump versus the media. Again.

But this time, the media has fought back. After banning CNN, MS NOW and Politico from the White House, major news organisations, including Fox News, have united in protest.

The result? For the first time in decades, the president has travelled without the television press pool that usually follows him everywhere he goes.

As Donald Trump arrives in New York for a crucial week of diplomacy, Mark Stone and James Matthews unravel a row that's become about much more than journalism.

Donald Trump has begun his midterm campaign push, but not where you might expect. The president headed to North Carolina, a state Republicans usually count on winning, while Vice President JD Vance was dispatched to deep-red Kansas. So why are the party's biggest names spending time in states Trump carried comfortably in 2024?

Meanwhile, the Federal Reserve has raised interest rates for the first time in more than three years as the financial cost of America's war with Iran continues to climb.

Also a new report says there are reasonable grounds to believe the United States...

Donald Trump says their fears are being whipped up by "conspiracy theorists, treasonists and traitors".

But some of the loudest warnings about AI are coming from the tech billionaires building it.

So why is the president dismissing their concerns?

While speaking on a faith podcast, JD Vance told listeners he’s been doing ‘God’s work’ where he also said the ‘antichrist walks among us’.

Six months after Nicolás Maduro was captured and brought to the US, Washington is now entering a new relationship with Caracas. Could it solve the world’s oil crisis?

There's no sign of that simmering down anytime soon, as Iran and the US exchange fire again for the first time in weeks.
