A bitcoin treasury and mining company linked to the Trump family began trading Wednesday on the Nasdaq stock market. American Bitcoin's listing follows a completed merger with Gryphon Digital Mining. The company is backed by President Donald Trump's sons, Donald Trump Jr and Eric Trump. Our Nasdaq debut marks a historic milestone in bringing bitcoin into the core of US capital markets, Eric Trump said in a statement. He is a co-founder and chief strategy officer of American Bitcoin. Public companies accumulating bitcoin as a corporate treasury has become a popular trend in crypto as the world's most popular digital asset is priced near an all-time high. The parent company of Trump's Truth Social has also moved to accumulate bitcoin. American Bitcoin said it plans to use self-mining operations and opportunistic bitcoin purchases to stand out in a growing field. Wednesday's listing gives investors yet another chance to put money in a Trump-linked crypto project. The Trump family has
Poland's new president Karol Nawrocki is set to visit the White House on Wednesday, looking to strengthen his relationship with President Donald Trump and make the case that the US needs to maintain its strong military presence in his country. The visit to Washington is Nawrocki's first overseas trip since taking office last month. It comes after Trump took the unusual step of involving himself in the elections of a longtime ally, Poland, and endorsing Nawrocki, the nationalist Law and Justice party candidate. Now in office, Nawrocki, a former amateur boxer and historian, is hoping to deepen his relationship with Trump at a fraught moment for Warsaw. Trump is increasingly frustrated by his inability to get Russian President Vladimir Putin and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy to sit down for direct talks aimed at ending the more than three-year-old war between Poland's neighbours. Trump last month met with Putin in Alaska and then with Zelenskyy and several European leaders a
A federal appeals court panel ruled Tuesday that President Donald Trump cannot use an 18th century wartime law to speed the deportations of people his administration accuses of membership in a Venezuelan gang, blocking a signature administration push that is destined for a final showdown at the US Supreme Court. A three-judge panel of the 5th US Circuit Court of Appeals, one of the most conservative federal appeals courts in the country, in a 2-1 decision agreed with immigrant rights lawyers and lower court judges who argued the Alien Enemies Act of 1798 was not intended to be used against gangs like Tren de Aragua, the Venezuelan group Trump targeted in his March invocation. The administration deported people designated as Tren de Aragua members to a notorious prison in El Salvador where, it argued, US courts could not order them freed.

Rudy Giuliani said Tuesday he experienced more pain than I ever felt after a car crash last weekend but expects to recover fully, making his first public remarks on video about the rear-end wreck in New Hampshire. After multiple days in a hospital, Giuliani returned wearing what appeared to be a metal brace under his suit jacket to his America's Mayor Live online program and his eponymous show on Lindell TV. It's an online media platform launched by MyPillow founder Mike Lindell. The 81-year-old former New York City mayor described Saturday's crash, which happened shortly after but separately from a roadside encounter with someone Giuliani said flagged his vehicle down to seek help. God was very, very good to us. He looked after us, Giuliani said, accompanied by spokesperson Ted Goodman. We did the right thing, so we can feel good about ourselves, and we can be an example. The former mayor also used his shows to celebrate President Donald Trump's decision to award him the ...
President Donald Trump announced on Tuesday that US Space Command will be located in Alabama, reversing a Biden-era decision to keep it at its temporary headquarters in Colorado. The long-expected decision from Trump caps a four-year tug of war between two states and opposing administrations about where to locate US Space Command, an intense fight because the headquarters would be a significant boon to the local economy. Alabama and Colorado have long battled to claim Space Command, with elected officials from both states asserting their state is the better location. The US Space Command headquarters will move to the beautiful locale of a place called Huntsville, Alabama, forever to be known from this point forward as Rocket City, said Trump, flanked by Republican members of Alabama's congressional delegation, from the Oval Office on Tuesday. We had a lot of competition for this and Alabama's getting it." Trump said Huntsville won the race for the Space Command headquarters, in par
President Donald Trump said Tuesday that the US has carried out a strike in the southern Caribbean against a drug-carrying vessel that departed from Venezuela and was operated by the Tren de Aragua gang. The president said 11 were killed in the operation. The strike occurred while the terrorists were at sea in International waters transporting illegal narcotics, heading to the United States, Trump said in a social media posting. No US Forces were harmed in this strike. Please let this serve as notice to anybody even thinking about bringing drugs into the United States of America. Secretary of State Marco Rubio said earlier on X that the vessel was being operated by a designated narco-terrorist organization. He described the operation as a lethal strike. Rubio addressed the strike on Tuesday shortly before he was scheduled to depart for Mexico and Ecuador for talks on drug cartels, security, tariffs and more. The US recently announced plans to boost its maritime force in the waters
Sometimes it feels like barely an hour can go by without hearing from President Donald Trump. So when he didn't appear for one day, then two, then three, speculation started to swirl online about his health. Not even a few glimpses of the president visiting his golf course over the weekend were enough to stanch the social media rumor mill fueled by political opponents. Trump was asked directly about it Tuesday at his first public event in a week. How did you find out over the weekend that you were dead?" asked Fox News' Peter Doocy. "Did you see that? No, the 79-year-old Trump responded flatly. The senators and administration officials gathered around him for the Space Command headquarters announcement shifted their weight and smiled. The president said he wasn't aware that people were wondering if he had died, but he had heard there were concerns about his health. I knew they were saying, like: Is he OK? How is he feeling? What's wrong?' Trump said, calling the speculation fake n

President Donald Trump has shredded decades of Western efforts to wean India away from Russia and caution it on the threat posed by China, US' former National Security Adviser John Bolton has said, noting that the American leader's tariff policies and claims of ending the recent India-Pakistan military conflict worsened the situation. Bolton, who served as NSA in the first Trump administration, has been very critical of his former boss. The West has spent decades trying to wean India away from its Cold War attachment to Soviet Union Russia, and cautioning India on the threat posed by China. Donald Trump has shredded decades of efforts with his disastrous tariff policy, Bolton said in a post on X Monday. In an interview with Sky News, Bolton elaborated that the West, and the US in particular, has spent decades trying to wean India away from Russia, buying sophisticated weapons from them and cautioning New Delhi on the danger posed by China.
