Allowing skilled immigrants to train US workers 'is MAGA', says Trump

President Donald Trump has made hardline immigration policies a signature issue, but acknowledged on Wednesday that he's been criticised for recently saying some skilled immigrants should be allowed into the country from his Make America Great Again supporters. Trump told an audience of business executives that the US needs immigrants who can train domestic workers in high-tech factories and insisted that doing so is not inconsistent with his core political beliefs. I love my conservative friends. I love MAGA. But this is MAGA, Trump said during an address to the US-Saudi Investment Forum, which he attended with Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman. Those people are going to teach our people how to make computer chips, and in a short period of time, our people are going to be doing great. And those people can go home. The comments drew applause in the room. But last week, Trump sparred with Fox News host Laura Ingraham over the same issue. Ingraham suggested during an interview

What to know about F-35 fighter jet that Trump is selling to Saudi Arabia

President Donald Trump says he has agreed to sell the nation's most advanced fighter jet to Saudi Arabia despite concerns that China could gain access to the plane's vaunted American technology. The sale to the Middle Eastern nation, whose top trading partner is China, was reaffirmed Tuesday during Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman's visit to Washington. Some in the Republican administration also have been wary that selling the F-35 to Saudi Arabia will upset Israel's qualitative military edge over its neighbours, especially at a time when Trump is depending on Israeli support for the success of his Gaza peace plan. Israel, which deployed the F-35 in its 12-day war against Iran in June, is among 19 other nations that already have the plane or have agreements to buy it. It was nearly 20 years ago when the first F-35 Lightning strike fighter rolled off an assembly line in Fort Worth, Texas, hailed as a technological leap and lamented as a military money pit. Since then, more th

Before he could answer, she directed a question to the Saudi leader: Your Royal Highness, the US intelligence concluded that you orchestrated the brutal murder of a journalist. 9/11 families are furious that you are here in the Oval Office. Why should Americans trust you? And the same to you, Mr President. After asking Bruce who she worked for, Trump called ABC fake news and defended his family's business operations in Saudi Arabia. The president dismissed the US intelligence findings that the prince likely had so

Have another one to go with, Putin. I'm a little surprised at Putin. It's taken longer than I thought, but we stopped India and Pakistan. Wish I could go through the list. You know the list better than I do," Trump said. "I'm very proud. And I stopped one that was almost ready to start again. You know, there's one that was ready to start, and they're doing very well.

US Congress passes bill to force release Epstein files, sends bill to Trump

Both the House and Senate acted decisively Tuesday to pass a bill to force the Justice Department to publicly release its files on the convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, a remarkable display of approval for an effort that had struggled for months to overcome opposition from President Donald Trump and Republican leadership. When a small, bipartisan group of House lawmakers introduced a petition in July to maneuver around House Speaker Mike Johnson's control of which bills reach the House floor, it appeared a longshot effort especially as Trump urged his supporters to dismiss the matter as a hoax. But both Trump and Johnson failed in their efforts to prevent the vote. Now the president has bowed to the growing momentum behind the bill and even said he will sign it. Just hours after the House passed the bill, the Senate agreed to pass the bill with unanimous consent once it is sent to the Senate. The bill passed the House 427-1, with the only no vote coming from Rep. Clay Higgins
