A proposal to include around $1 billion in funding for security upgrades at the White House campus has been dealt a setback after the Senate parliamentarian ruled it does not meet procedural rules for inclusion in a fast-track budget bill. The decision affects a Republican-backed package linked to broader immigration enforcement funding and security improvements requested for the White House, including enhancements connected to a new ballroom project associated with Donald Trump. The ruling means the security funding cannot be included in a budget bill designed to pass the Senate with a simple majority under special rules that bypass a…

Fred Robinson remembers walking into a struggling suburban Atlanta church with just nine members, a leaking building, and barely enough money to survive. The church had been hit hard by the COVID-19 pandemic, which forced closures, reduced attendance, and left many congregations across the United States in financial and physical decline. At the time, the future looked uncertain. The building needed major repairs, including rotting floors and mold in the basement. Yet instead of shutting down, the small congregation chose to rebuild. Over the next few years, attendance slowly grew, repairs were completed, and new members joined. Today, the church…

Donald Trump has returned from a high-level visit to Beijing after talks with Chinese leader Xi Jinping, with both sides agreeing on limited cooperation but leaving major trade and strategic disputes unresolved. The two-day summit was described by analysts as producing modest results, reinforcing the view that relations between the United States and China remain in a long-term state of competition rather than cooperation. While the meeting avoided escalation, it also failed to deliver major breakthroughs on trade, technology, or security issues. The talks highlighted what many experts describe as a return to a “managed stalemate” between the world’s two…

Donald Trump has triggered widespread controversy after ordering changes to the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool in Washington, D.C., with critics raising concerns about design choices, rising costs, and how the project was awarded. The plan to repaint the historic reflecting pool in a shade described by Trump as “American flag blue” has drawn strong reactions from preservation groups and local residents. The pool, located between the Lincoln Memorial and the Washington Monument, is designed to reflect the sky and surrounding monuments, and many argue that changing its colour would damage its historic purpose and visual effect. Trump said he initially…

US President Donald Trump and Chinese President Xi Jinping have concluded high-level talks in Beijing, describing the meeting as “very successful” and “historic,” but offering few confirmed details on concrete agreements.

The United States Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) says there are currently no confirmed new cases of hantavirus infection in the country, even as health officials continue monitoring dozens of people who may have been exposed.

At the same time, officials are closely monitoring at least 41 individuals across 16 US states who were potentially exposed to the virus during a recent international cruise-related health investigation.
