Speaking at the Pentagon — struck by one of the hijacked planes 25 years ago — Trump framed the US-Israeli war on Iran as a continuation of the post-9/11 fight. The conflict is now seven months old and has reached a stalemate, with Iran still holding the Strait of Hormuz.
The proposals would remove questions on race, ethnicity and sexual orientation, and limit the count to citizens and lawful permanent residents. The changes could redraw House apportionment and shift federal resources — and are expected to face legal challenges.
The German chancellor used the term in a Bundestag confrontation with AfD leader Alice Weidel, saying the party's remigration policy would target people by origin and skin colour.

Foreign Secretary Ed Miliband said Britain could no longer just "call out" injustice and had to act. Israel responded by closing Britain's consulate in East Jerusalem and excluding the UK from a US-led Gaza mission.
A forthcoming book by Haaretz reporters claims Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan called Netanyahu a week and a half before the attack — and that Netanyahu kept the warning from Israeli security chiefs. Netanyahu's office called the account an absolute lie.

The deal covers 65 billion barrels — more than the entire current US reserve base — and would make the new joint venture the world's second-largest corporate holder of proven oil, behind Saudi Aramco. Key details, including when extraction begins and who the private partners are, have not been disclosed.
The administration says a DC appeals court ruling that blocked the removal of currently serving transgender troops was 'gravely erroneous.' The Supreme Court allowed the wider ban to take effect last year, but has not yet ruled on whether those already in uniform can be forced out.

The US tariff dispute has galvanised both camps — pro-unity groups say it proves Canada must stand together, while separatists say it proves Ottawa cannot protect the province.
A new poll puts his Progressive Conservatives back in first place after his combative stance against US tariffs won over voters. His personal approval had hit 24 per cent in July; it now stands at 36.

Six months of polling show a near-unbroken decline in public backing for the conflict. Even among Republicans, enthusiasm has slipped sharply — a warning sign ahead of the midterms.

The White House will temporarily suspend import tariffs on 300,000 metric tons of ground beef, hoping to ease prices before November's elections. Republican lawmakers and the cattle industry say it will punish ranchers who are only now enjoying profitable years.
Scott Bessent described the coming measures as a 'one-two punch' alongside the naval blockade of Iranian ports in place since April. Details are due at a press conference on August 24, but Bessent made clear that any country still buying Iranian oil or moving Iranian money would face US enforcement action.
The US Treasury has rewritten Hezbollah's designation to make explicit that it operates as a direct arm of Iran's Revolutionary Guard. Separately, ten people accused of moving hundreds of millions of dollars by courier across four countries have been sanctioned.

US officials secretly moved the president to a smaller military jet in Ankara on 8 July 2026, leaving reporters and some White House staff on the decoy aircraft with no idea he had gone. The elaborate ruse involved three separate planes and a staged public boarding.
