'Worse than our enemies': Trump slams US trading allies, imposes 'reciprocal tariffs'
Thursday, 13 February 2025 US President Donald Trump announced a plan for 'reciprocal tariffs' on both allies and rivals before meeting PM Modi. The tariffs aim to address unfair trade practices and trade deficits, with emerging markets like India and Thailand potentially facing significant impacts. The plan also includes non-tariff considerations such as VAT.
US President Donald Trump signs an executive order implementing reciprocal tariffs on US trade partners and adversaries as he pushes to eliminate trade imbalances with Washington.
Weeks after Trump boasted of obliterating Iran’s nuclear program, a New York Times report raises major doubts. Israeli officials claim parts of Iran’s 60% enriched uranium stockpile survived U.S. airstrikes in June. The uranium, reportedly buried too deep at Isfahan, may remain intact and inaccessible. While the U.S. says centrifuges were likely destroyed, satellite imagery suggests otherwise. With IAEA inspectors blocked, uncertainty looms. Trump’s “Midnight Hammer” may not have delivered a fatal blow, casting doubt on U.S. intelligence and raising fears about Iran’s nuclear future.

President Donald Trump lashed out at a reporter during a Texas flood roundtable, calling the question about lack of early warnings “very evil.” Visiting Central Texas following massive flash floods that left over 100 dead, Trump praised FEMA and Governor Greg Abbott’s response team, pledging swift federal aid. The Texas “Flash Flood Alley” region suffered rapid water surges, catching communities unprepared. Trump claimed “fully funded within minutes” and commended responders. He reiterated that such rapid flooding was unprecedented, dismissing criticisms. Republican Rep. Chip Roy defended him, calling the question “ridiculous.” Trump also avoided answer on future FEMA role. With casualties including at least 27 campers in Kerr County, the event highlighted his administration's partnership with Texas officials. His remarks stirred controversy over leadership tone and disaster preparedness in face of growing climate disasters.

Rumors are flying after former Rep. George Santos posted a cryptic message suggesting Rep. Matt Gaetz could replace Pam Bondi as Attorney General. The speculation comes amid MAGA outrage over Bondi's failed promises about the Epstein files and a DOJ report debunking her claims of a “client list.” FBI Deputy Director Dan Bongino may resign over the internal feud, and FBI Chief Kash Patel could follow.
As calls for Bondi’s resignation grow louder, Santos’ viral X post—"Matt Gaetz is MIA at Turning Points USA tonight! Something is in motion!"—fueled speculation. Meanwhile, conservative voices like Megyn Kelly and Tucker Carlson slammed Bondi’s actions, with Carlson reviving theories about Epstein’s intel ties. Amid the firestorm, many MAGA loyalists are pushing for Gaetz to be installed as acting AG, even if temporarily. Will Trump make the move?
