Crypto industry once saw Trump as ally, now fears his profit-first approach

It seems like a triumph for a cryptocurrency industry that has long sought mainstream acceptance: Top investors in one of President Donald Trump's crypto projects invited to dine with him at his luxury golf club in Northern Virginia on the heels of the Senate advancing key pro-crypto legislation and while bitcoin prices soar. But Thursday night's dinner for the 220 biggest investors in the $TRUMP meme coin has raised uncomfortable questions about potentially shadowy buyers using the anonymity of the internet to buy access to the president. While Democrats charge that Trump is using the power of the presidency to boost profits for his family business, even some pro-Trump crypto enthusiasts worry that the president's push into meme coins isn't helping their efforts to establish the credibility, stability and legitimacy they had thought his administration would bring to their businesses. After feeling unfairly targeted by the Biden administration, the industry has quickly become a ...

US government didn't follow court order on deportations, says judge

The White House violated a court order on deportations to third countries with a flight linked to the chaotic African nation of South Sudan, a federal judge said Wednesday, hours after the Trump administration said it had expelled eight immigrants convicted of violent crimesbut refused to reveal where they would end up. The judge's statement was a notably strong rebuke to the government's deportation efforts. In an emergency hearing he called to address reports that immigrants had been sent to South Sudan, Judge Brian E. Murphy in Boston said the eight migrants aboard the plane were not given a meaningful opportunity to object that the deportation could put them in danger. Minutes before the hearing, administration officials accused activist judges of advocating the release of dangerous criminals. The department actions in this case are unquestionably in violation of this court's order, Murphy said Wednesday, arguing that the deportees didn't have meaningful opportunity to object to

Trump admin to weigh request for leasing seabed mining of critical minerals

The Trump administration said Wednesday that it will consider selling leases to extract minerals from the seabed off the South Pacific island of American Samoa, a potential first step in a wider industry push to allow deep-sea mining that environmentalists oppose because they say it could irreparably harm marine ecosystems. The Department of Interior said it is responding to an April request from California-based company Impossible Metals for a commercial auction. The company wants to mine the ocean floor for deposits of nickel, cobalt and other critical minerals. Last month, President Trump signed an executive order directing the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration to fast-track permits for companies to mine the ocean floor in US and international waters. The move comes amid the Trump administration's trade war with China, which controls many critical minerals such as nickel, cobalt and manganese used in high-tech manufacturing, including for military uses.

Defense Department accepts luxury Boeing 747 from Qatar for Trump's use

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth has accepted a luxury Boeing 747 jet from Qatar for President Donald Trump to use as Air Force One, the Pentagon said Wednesday, despite ongoing questions about the ethics and legality of taking the expensive gift from a foreign nation. The Defense Department will work to ensure proper security measures on the plane to make it safe for use by the president, Pentagon spokesman Sean Parnell said. He added that the plane was accepted in accordance with all federal rules and regulations. Trump has defended the gift, which came up during his recent Middle East trip, as a way to save tax dollars. Why should our military, and therefore our taxpayers, be forced to pay hundreds of millions of Dollars when they can get it for FREE, Trump posted on his social media site during the trip. Others, however, have said Trump's acceptance of an aircraft that has been called a palace in the sky is a violation of the Constitution's prohibition on foreign gifts. Democrats

Iran vows to keep enriching uranium ahead of nuclear talks with US

Iran's top diplomat insisted Wednesday that Tehran will never stop enriching uranium, reinforcing the Islamic Republic's hard line ahead of a new round of indirect talks with the United States over its fast-advancing nuclear programme. The comments by Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi come after multiple rounds of talks between the two nations, including at an expert level over the details of a possible deal. However, none has been reached yet, and American officials including President Donald Trump, Mideast envoy Steve Witkoff and Secretary of State Marco Rubio maintain that Iran must give up enrichment something it didn't do in its 2015 nuclear deal with world powers. I have said it before, and I repeat it again: uranium enrichment in Iran will continue with or without an agreement, Araghchi said, according to state television. Araghchi added that Iran is currently reviewing whether to participate in the next round and when to take part in talks with the US. Trump's trip

Trading with India will be 'quicker, cheaper, easier' post-FTA, says UK

It will be quicker, cheaper and easier for British companies to trade with India as a result of the bilateral Free Trade Agreement (FTA) struck earlier this month, the UK government said on Wednesday. Business and Trade Secretary Jonathan Reynolds described the FTA as the best deal India has ever agreed to as he convened a revamped advisory board for its first meeting, tasked with boosting exports to grow the UK economy. The Board of Trade, made up of UK business experts, is charged with delivering targeted support for small businesses across the country and helping firms utilise the exporting opportunities from the UK's recent FTAs with the India pact followed by a US deal. Today marks the beginning of a new chapter for British trade. This Board isn't just a talking shop it's a hands-on, dynamic force that will help businesses of every size access global markets and seize the opportunities created by our landmark trade deals, said Reynolds, who concluded the UK-India FTA ...

Trump hosts Ramaphosa as South African leader seeks to mend US ties

President Donald Trump is hosting South African President Cyril Ramaphosa for White House talks Wednesday at a moment when relations between the two countries are at a nadir, with Trump laying into South African officials on widely rejected charges of allowing a genocide against minority white farmers. South African officials have strongly pushed back against Trump's accusation and Ramaphosa sought the meeting to set the record straight and salvage his country's relationship with the United States. The bilateral relationship is at its lowest point since South Africa enforced its apartheid system of racial segregation, which ended in 1994. Ramaphosa was greeted by Trump as he arrived at the White House shortly after noon for Oval Office talks and lunch with Trump. "The president is a truly respected man in many, many circles," Trump said of the South African president at the start of the Oval Office meeting. "And in some circles he's considered a little controversial. Ramaphosa said
