Communist candidate Jeannette Jara has won Chile’s leftwing primary with over 60% of the vote, setting up a high-stakes presidential showdown against far-right frontrunner José Antonio Kast—often dubbed the “Chilean Trump.” Jara, backed by a united left, vows to raise taxes on the wealthy and boost job creation, while Kast leads polls with a tough-on-crime, anti-immigration platform. The race is sharply polarized, as Jara seeks to overcome President Boric’s low approval and rally progressive forces ahead of the November election.

U.S. President Donald Trump has warned that New York City could lose over $100 million in federal funding if Democratic Socialist Zohran Mamdani becomes mayor. In a fiery Fox News interview, Trump labeled Mamdani a “pure communist” and said his election would be “inconceivable.”
Mamdani, a rising progressive voice, has hit back, accusing Trump of using xenophobic and racially charged attacks to derail serious policy debate. The mayoral race is heating up as Mamdani promises to tax the wealthy and shift the burden off working-class New Yorkers.
Meanwhile, former Governor Andrew Cuomo may re-enter the race as an independent, turning this into a high-stakes national battle. Is Trump using funding threats as political blackmail—or is Mamdani’s rise shaking the conservative establishment?

Iran’s top Shiite cleric, Grand Ayatollah Naser Makarem Shirazi, has issued a fatwa against Donald Trump and Benjamin Netanyahu, declaring them "enemies of God and Islam." Labeling them mohareb—those who wage war against God—he warned that under Islamic law, such individuals face severe punishments. The fatwa forbids Muslim support for the U.S. or Israel and calls for global Islamic unity to resist Western aggression. Issued after a deadly 12-day war, the decree intensifies Iran’s religious-political stance amid the fragile ceasefire.

Canada has officially scrapped its controversial 3% Digital Services Tax after former U.S. President Donald Trump halted all trade talks and threatened new tariffs. The tax, set to target tech giants like Amazon, Google, and Meta, faced intense U.S. backlash. Finance Minister Champagne said rescinding the tax is essential to reviving stalled negotiations. Ottawa had previously vowed not to yield, but with over 80% of Canadian exports reliant on the U.S., the rollback clears the way for renewed talks ahead of a July 21, 2025 deadline.

U.S. President Donald Trump has reignited speculation about a possible diplomatic breakthrough with North Korea, stating he will "get the conflict solved" while referencing his previous “great relationship” with Kim Jong Un. At a White House event, Trump sidestepped questions about a recent letter allegedly sent to the North Korean leader.
However, NK News reports that Pyongyang’s UN delegation refused to accept any such letter, suggesting a strained atmosphere. Trump and Kim had met thrice during Trump’s first term, but nuclear talks ultimately collapsed over disarmament disagreements.
Trump now hints at reviving that momentum, framing his personal diplomacy as a unique path to resolution. The situation remains murky amid the absence of official confirmation from either side. Still, Trump’s remarks have sparked new questions about a potential U.S.-North Korea thaw—especially as global tensions remain high and his foreign policy narrative pivots back toward high-stakes summits and unconventional outreach.

In a landmark diplomatic moment, DR Congo and Rwanda signed a historic U.S.-brokered peace deal in Washington aimed at ending decades of deadly conflict. President Donald Trump called it a “glorious triumph” while hosting the signing ceremony in the Oval Office, flanked by VP JD Vance and Secretary of State Marco Rubio.
The agreement includes “disengagement, disarmament and conditional integration” of armed groups and signals potential U.S. access to DR Congo’s rare earth minerals. Yet deep questions remain—especially regarding the M23 rebels, Rwandan troop presence, and humanitarian access. With both countries denying support for rival militias, the full terms remain classified, fueling skepticism.
Trump, however, hailed it as a generational victory. Previous similar treaties have failed. But this deal, supported by earlier Qatari mediation, might offer a sliver of hope in a region long marred by instability and mineral-fueled warfare.

Speaking at the ‘Big Beautiful Event’ at the White House, Donald Trump hinted at a “very big” trade deal with India, weeks after high-level bilateral talks concluded in Washington. The potential agreement, focused on boosting market access and slashing tariffs, could push annual trade from $190B to $500B by 2030. Trump also confirmed a trade deal with China targeting rare earth shipments. As global trade tensions simmer, India finds itself at the heart of U.S. trade strategy under Trump’s renewed protectionist yet high-stakes approach to bilateral negotiations.

White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt publicly rebuked CNN reporter Natasha Bertrand, accusing her of spreading "false narratives" in a report about leaked U.S. intelligence on strikes against Iranian nuclear facilities. Leavitt’s comments came just after President Trump called for Bertrand’s firing, escalating tensions between the press and the administration. CNN and anchor Jake Tapper defended Bertrand, stating her reporting was both accurate and in the public interest. The clash underscores growing hostility between the Trump-aligned White House and mainstream media outlets.
