Open to health care deal but government must reopen first, says Trump

President Donald Trump cracked the door slightly to negotiations with Democrats on the health care subsidies they've made central to the shutdown fight, then abruptly closed it Monday, leaving the two sides once again at a seemingly intractable impasse. Democrats are conditioning their support for a short-term funding patch on extending the health subsidies that lessen the cost of plans offered under the Affordable Care Act, commonly referred to as Obamacare. We have a negotiation going on right now with the Democrats that could lead to very good things, Trump told reporters. And I'm talking about good things with regard to health care. The comments were one of the few hopeful signs Monday as the government shutdown hit its sixth day. Negotiations between the two parties have been virtually nonexistent since the start of the shutdown despite the impact on federal services. But Trump later followed up those comments on his social media site to reinforce what GOP leaders in Congress

US to impose 25% tariffs on imported trucks from Nov 1, says Trump

President Donald Trump on Monday announced that his administration will impose 25 per cent tariffs on all medium and heavy-duty trucks coming into the US from other countries beginning next month. Trump, in a post on his social media platform Truth Social, said, Beginning November 1st, 2025, all Medium and Heavy Duty Trucks coming into the United States from other Countries will be Tariffed at the Rate of 25%. The US trucking industry is a cornerstone of the national economy, moving roughly 73 per cent of all domestic freight, according to the American Trucking Associations, Fox Business reported. Around two million Americans work as heavy and tractor-trailer truck drivers, with many more employed as mechanics and support staff, according to data provided by the US Chamber of Commerce. The top five import countries by customs value are Mexico, Canada, Japan, Germany and Finland, it said.

Trump says US got $17 trn in new investments; real number likely lower

The economic boom promised by President Donald Trump centres on a single number: USD 17 trillion. That's the sum of new investments that Trump claims to have generated with his tariffs, income tax cuts and aggressive salesmanship of CEOs, financiers, tech titans, prime ministers, presidents and other rulers. The USD 17 trillion is supposed to fund new factories, new technologies, more jobs, higher incomes and faster economic growth. Under eight months of Trump, we've already secured commitments of USD 17 trillion coming in, the president said in a speech last month. There's never been any country that's done anything like that. But based on statements from various companies, foreign countries and the White House's own website, that figure appears to be exaggerated, highly speculative and far higher than the actual sum. The White House website lists total investments at USD 8.8 trillion, though that figure appears to be padded with some investment commitments made during Joe Biden's

Judge halts Trump admin from sending National Guard troops to Oregon

President Donald Trump is sending 300 California National Guard members to Oregon after a judge blocked the administration from deploying that state's guard to Portland, according to California Gov. Gavin Newsom. Newsom pledged Sunday to fight the move in court. There was no official announcement from Washington that the California National Guard was being called up and sent to Oregon, just as was the case when Illinois' governor made a similar announcement Saturday about troops in his state being activated. Newsom, a Democrat, said in a statement that California personnel were on their way Sunday and called the deployment a breathtaking abuse of the law and power. The commander-in-chief is using the US military as a political weapon against American citizens, Newsom said in the statement. We will take this fight to court, but the public cannot stay silent in the face of such reckless and authoritarian conduct by the president of the United States. A Trump-appointed federal judge

History won't forget it were US SEALs who killed Osama bin Laden: Trump

Trump also repeated his claim that a year before Al Qaeda terrorists attacked the World Trade Centre twin towers in September 2001, he had warned about bin Laden. History will never forget that it was the SEALs who stormed the compound (of) Osama bin Laden and put a bullet in his head. Remember that, Trump said in a speech at Norfolk, Virginia Sunday during a special celebration to mark the US Navy's 250th birthday. Trump said that he had asked authorities to keep track of bin Laden a year before the 9/11 attack, and went on to add that the "fake news would never let me get away with that statement unless it was true". "Please remember I wrote about Osama bin Laden exactly one year before he blew up the World Trade Center. And I said, You got to watch Osama bin Laden'," he said. "But I said one year before tha
