You'll make US less safe: Haley to Ramaswamy at Republican Party's debate

Indian-American US presidential aspirants Nikki Haley and Vivek Ramaswamy clashed during the Republican Party's maiden presidential primary debate over foreign policy issues, with the former South Carolina Governor criticising her rival and entrepreneur for lacking foreign policy experience and supporting Russia. Haley, 51, and Ramaswamy, 38, have been clashing over foreign policy issues over the past few days on social media. During the debate in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, on Wednesday, Haley accused Ramaswamy of supporting America's foreign adversaries and abandoning its friends after he said he would not support Ukraine in the war against Russia. Form Standing next to him, Haley, the former US Ambassador to the UN, slammed her fellow Indian-American that he is taking the side of a murderer Russian president and said that the US would be unsafe under his presidency. He wants to hand Ukraine to Russia, he wants to let China eat Taiwan, he wants to go and stop funding Israel, Haley sai

Donald Trump seems inescapable but many Republicans embrace his absence

Donald Trump's decision to skip the first Republican debate may hurt television ratings and put more pressure on the eight contenders who will be on stage. But plenty of rank-and-file conservatives said they were eager to see their options without the former president dominating the conversation. People are just so focused on the circus, said Melissa Watford, a 53-year-old Republican from suburban Atlanta. He's just a distraction. Distraction, distraction, distraction. Watford's husband, Jack, said he would still consider supporting Trump if he wins the nomination, but he described the former president as clickbait and expressed relief that he is yielding the stage Wednesday in Milwaukee. When he's out of the picture, the 61-year-old said, you can actually hear other candidates, actually listen to them. The Watfords represent a notable share of Republican primary voters who, regardless of their feelings about Trump, want the party to wrestle with its identity and choices rather tha

Will surrender Thursday on Georgia charges on 2020 election: Donald Trump

Former President Donald Trump says he will surrender to authorities in Georgia on Thursday to face charges in the case accusing him of illegally scheming to overturn his 2020 election loss. Can you believe it? I'll be going to Atlanta, Georgia, on Thursday to be ARRESTED, Trump wrote on his social media network Monday night, hours after court papers said his bond was set at $200,000. The Fulton County Sheriff's Office said in a news release Monday afternoon that when Trump surrenders there will be a hard lockdown of the area surrounding the main county jail. Trump, according to the papers, is also barred from intimidating co-defendants, witnesses or victims in the case including on social media according to the bond agreement signed by Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis, Trump's defense attorneys and the judge. It explicitly includes posts on social media or reposts of posts made by others. Trump has repeatedly used social media to attack people involved in the criminal

Donald Trump's bond has been set at $200,000 in the Georgia case accusing the former president of illegally scheming to overturn his 2020 election loss, according to court papers filed Monday. Trump is also barred from intimidating co-defendants, witnesses or victims in the case including on social media according to the bond agreement signed by Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis, Trump's defense attorneys and the judge.

He is also prohibited from communicating in any way about the facts of the case with any co-defendant or witness, except through attorneys.

Trump and his allies double down on election lies after indictment

A federal indictment and one in Georgia charging Donald Trump with lying about the 2020 election to overturn President Joe Biden's win have done nothing to slow the geyser of election falsehoods flowing from the former president and his supporters. Just two days after the Georgia indictment, one of Trump's most enthusiastic backers took the stage at a conference in Missouri to again spread election misinformation. Mike Lindell, the owner of MyPillow who is a vocal promoter of the myth that the 2020 presidential election was stolen, kicked off an event on purported election crimes with a video about fraud. It included footage from November 2020 that purported to show a Fulton County, Georgia, election worker pulling a briefcase of ballots from under a desk to surreptitiously add them to the tally. As evidence has since shown, the worker, Ruby Freeman, was simply doing her job pulling out a standard government container full of real ballots that had to be counted. Three different ...

India levies high taxes, would return favour if voted to power: Trump

Former US president Donald Trump, who is seeking his term, has once again raised the issue of high tax by India on certain American products in particular the iconic Harley-Davidson motorcycles, and has threatened to slap with reciprocal tax if voted to power in the 2024 presidential elections. During his first term as the US president, Trump described India as a tariff king and in May 2019, terminated India's preferential market access -- Generalised System of Preferences (GSP) -- to the United States alleging India has not given the United States equitable and reasonable access to its markets. In an interview to Larry Kudlow of Fox Business News, Trump said came down heavily on India tax rates, which he alleged was quite high. The other thing I want to have is a matching tax where, if India charges us -- India is very big with tariffs. I mean, I saw it with Harley-Davidson. I was saying, how do you do in a place like India? Oh, no good sir. Why? They have 100 per cent and 150 per

Former US President Trump to skip GOP presidential primary debates

Former President Donald Trump confirmed Sunday that he will be skipping Wednesday's first Republican presidential primary debate and others as well. The public knows who I am & what a successful Presidency I had, Trump wrote on his social media site. "I WILL THEREFORE NOT BE DOING THE DEBATES!" His spokesman did not immediately clarify whether he plans to boycott every primary debate or just those that have currently been scheduled. The former president and early GOP frontrunner had said for months that he saw little upside in joining his GOP rivals on stage when they gather for the first time in Milwaukee Wednesday, given his commanding lead in the race. And he had made clear to those he had spoken to in recent days that his opinion had not changed. Why would I allow people at 1 or 2% and 0% to be hitting me with questions all night? he said in an interview in June with Fox News host Bret Baier, who will be serving as a moderator. Trump has also repeatedly criticized Fox, the ...

Trump lawyers seek Apr 2026 trial date in federal election subversion case

Lawyers for Donald Trump asked a federal judge in Washington to push back until years after the election a trial in Washington on charges that the former president conspired to overturn the results of the 2020 election. The suggested April 2026 date is a dramatic counter to the Justice Department's recommendation last week that the trial should begin Jan. 2, 2024. The question is ultimately up to U.S. District Judge Tanya Chutkan, who is expected to set at least a tentative trial date during an Aug. 28 court hearing. In a filing, Trump's lawyers say the years-long delay is necessary both because of the unprecedented nature of the case and the massive amount of information 11.5 million pages that they have to review. They said they would have to review about 100,000 pages per day in order to meet the Justice Department's proposed trial date. If we were to print and stack 11.5 million pages of documents, with no gap between pages, at 200 pages per inch, the result would be a tower o

Trump cancels scheduled press conference on election fraud claims

Former President Donald Trump now says he won't be holding a news conference next week to unveil what he claims is new evidence of fraud in Georgia's 2020 presidential election even though no fraud has ever been substantiated citing the advice of lawyers as he prepares to face trial in two criminal cases that stem from his election lies. No compelling evidence of the wide-scale fraud Trump alleges has emerged in the two-and-a-half years since the election in Georgia or elsewhere, despite Trump's baseless claims. Republican officials in the state have long said he lost fairly and three recounts there confirmed President Joe Biden's win. Rather than releasing the Report on the Rigged & Stolen Georgia 2020 Presidential Election on Monday, my lawyers would prefer putting this, I believe, Irrefutable & Overwhelming evidence of Election Fraud & Irregularities in formal Legal Filings as we fight to dismiss this disgraceful Indictment," Trump wrote on his social media site ...

Biden's approval rating stagnates despite slowing inflation: Polls

President Joe Biden has devoted the past several weeks to promoting the positive impacts of his policies but his efforts have yet to meaningfully register with the public. Only 36 per cent of U.S. adults approve of Biden's handling of the economy, slightly lower than the 42 per cent who approve of his overall performance, according to the new poll from The Associated Press-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research. Both figures are close to where Biden's approval numbers have stood for about the past year and a half, including just two months ago. Signs of an improving economic outlook have done little to sway how people feel about the Democratic president as he gears up for a 2024 reelection campaign that could pit him against his predecessor and 2020 opponent, Republican Donald Trump. Job growth has stayed solid with the unemployment rate at 3.5 per cent, while the pace of inflation has slowed sharply over the past year to the annual rate of 3.2 per cent. Both Biden and Trump have

Mar-a-Lago property manager pleads not guilty to charges in Trump's case

Mar-a-Lago property manager Carlos De Oliveira pleaded not guilty on Tuesday to scheming with Donald Trump to try to delete security footage sought by investigators probing the former president's hoarding of classified documents. An attorney for De Oliveira entered the plea on his behalf during a brief hearing in the Fort Pierce, Florida, federal court, where Trump is charged with illegally holding onto top secret records at his Palm Beach club and thwarting government efforts to retrieve them. It's the third court appearance for De Oliveira, who twice before had his arraignment postponed because he hadn't yet finalised a Florida-based attorney, which is required under court rules. De Oliveira spoke only to answer the magistrate judge's questions, such as whether he understood the charges against him. De Oliveira and his new attorney, Donnie Murrell of West Palm Beach, walked out of the courthouse without speaking to reporters. De Oliveira's arraignment comes a day after Trump was
