Trump feels very positive about future of India-US ties: White House

US President Donald Trump feels "very positive and strongly" about the future of India-US relationship, White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt has said. I think he feels very positive and strongly about it. As you know, he recently, a few weeks back, spoke to Prime Minister (Narendra Modi) directly when he celebrated Diwali in the Oval Office with many high-ranking Indian-American officials at the White House, Leavitt said on Tuesday during a press briefing in response to a question about the future of India-US ties. She also said that in Sergio Gor, the US has a great Ambassador to India who will represent Washington very well. The president and his trade team continue to be in very serious discussions with India with respect to that topic.

FBI fires additional agents who participated in investigating Trump

The FBI has continued its personnel purge, forcing out additional agents and supervisors tied to the federal investigation into efforts to overturn the 2020 US presidential election. The latest firings took place despite efforts by Washington's top federal prosecutor to try to stop at least some of the terminations, people familiar with the matter told The Associated Press. The employees were told this week that they were being fired but those plans were paused after DC US Attorney Jeanine Pirro raised concerns, according to two people, who spoke on the condition of anonymity because they were not authorised to publicly discuss personnel matters. The agents were then fired again on Tuesday, though it's not clear what prompted the about-face. The total number of fired agents was not immediately clear. The terminations are part of a broader personnel upheaval under the leadership of FBI Director Kash Patel, who has pushed out numerous senior officials and agents involved in ...

Trump threatened by our campaign: NYC Mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani

New York City Mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani said US President Donald Trump is threatened by his campaign, as the American leader warned voters that the city's survival is at risk if the Democratic nominee wins. You can clearly see that Donald Trump is threatened by our campaign. He's threatened by it because, like his, we've diagnosed the crisis in working class New Yorkers' lives - the cost of living," Mamdani said in an interview to CNN on election eve Monday. "But unlike him, we're actually going to deliver on that. And that is a contrast that he can't bear to see, because while he is spending USD 300 million remodelling a White House ballroom, the same amount of money that could provide SNAP benefits for 100,000 New Yorkers, he added. He made a reference to the American food aid programme that is impacted amid the ongoing government shutdown. As the New York City mayoral race entered its final lap with New Yorkers going to polls on Election Day Tuesday, Trump warned voters t

Trump admin to partially fund SNAP in Nov amid govt shutdown, court rulings

US President Donald Trump's administration has said that it will partially fund SNAP for November, after two judges issued rulings requiring the government to keep the nation's largest food aid programme running. The Department of Agriculture, which oversees the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Programme (SNAP), had planned to freeze payments starting November 1 because it said it could no longer keep funding it during the federal government shutdown. The programme serves about 1 in 8 Americans and is a major piece of the nation's social safety net. It costs more than USD 8 billion per month nationally. The government says an emergency fund it will use has USD 4.65 billion -- enough to cover about half the normal benefits. Exhausting the fund potentially sets the stage for a similar situation in December if the shutdown isn't resolved by then. It's not clear exactly how much beneficiaries will receive, nor how quickly they will see value show up on the debit cards they use to buy
