Houthis Backstab Trump? US MQ-9 Reaper Blown Out of Sky Days After Ceasefire Deal | SHOCKING Video

Tensions reignite in Yemen as Houthi rebels reportedly shoot down a U.S. MQ-9 Reaper drone over Saada Governorate—just days after Donald Trump announced a ceasefire deal. Dramatic footage circulating on social media appears to show the drone being hit midair and crashing in flames. The strike raises serious questions about the durability of the U.S.-Houthi truce, which Trump claimed was brokered with help from Oman to end attacks on vital Middle East shipping lanes. U.S. officials confirm multiple drone losses in recent months, and this latest downing suggests the Houthis may no longer be holding back. #Houthis #YemenConflict #MQ9Reaper #USDroneShotDown #HouthiRebels #ReaperDroneDown #HouthiStrike #DroneWarfare #YemenNews #HouthiVsUS #USMilitary #MiddleEastTensions #ReaperDown #DroneCrash #HouthiAttack

Trump stated the repeals will reduce unnecessary burdens, lower energy costs, and return decision-making power to consumers.

Donald Trump has stunned America by ordering the reopening and expansion of the infamous Alcatraz prison.

Once home to criminals like Al Capone, Alcatraz shut down in 1963 and is now a popular tourist attraction. Critics, including top Democrats, have slammed the move as theatrical and legally dubious. Trump insists it’s a powerful symbol of law and order. But is this about justice, or just politics?

Big Win for Trump: U.S Senate rejects bill to undo Trump’s Reciprocal Tariffs

In a major political victory for Donald Trump, the U.S. Senate has rejected a resolution aimed at overturning his reciprocal tariffs, solidifying his economic stance even as the American economy shows signs of contraction. The resolution—introduced by Democrat Ron Wyden and backed by some Republicans-was narrowly defeated in a 49-49 vote. Vice President J.D. Vance broke the tie, blocking further Senate efforts to challenge Trump's use of emergency powers to impose tariffs.The vote came just hours after official data showed the U.S. economy shrinking for the first time in three years. Critics warn the tariffs could fuel inflation and worsen the economic outlook, but Trump maintains they are vital to counter global trade imbalances. #TrumpTariffs #SenateVote #USPolitics #BreakingNews #TradeWar #USEconomy #JDVance #RonWyden #Trump2025 #TariffDebate #Inflation #EconomicEmergency #CapitolHill #Republicans #Democrats #TariffWar #Trump #Vance ~ED.103~HT.336~GR.124~

Karoline Leavitt Fires Back at MSNBC Host Over ‘People of Color Are Next’ Deportation Comment

Karoline Leavitt, Press Secretary for President Trump, pushed back during a press briefing on claims made by MSNBC host Symone Sanders-Townsend. Sanders warned that “people of color” could be next following the deportation of Kilmar Abrego Garcia—a 29-year-old illegal immigrant sent to El Salvador’s megaprison, CECOT. While the administration first called it an error, officials now say Garcia may be tied to MS-13, a claim his lawyers deny. As Democrats and media voices raise alarm, the Trump team accuses them of spreading fear for political gain. #Trump #KarolineLeavitt #SymoneSanders #MSNBC #Deportation #ImmigrationPolicy #AbregoGarcia #MS13 #CECOT #PressBriefing #TrumpAdministration #IllegalImmigration #Megaprison #ImmigrationDebate #Fearmongering #USPolitics #ImmigrationNews #GOP #Democrats #MediaBias #FoxNews #BreakingNews #PoliticalControversy #KarolineSpeaks #BidenVsTrump #LatinoVoters #MarylandPolitics #MichaelSteele #GlenIvey #Election2024 Also Read Trump Declares Columbus Day Will Remain Unchanged Amid Indigenous Peoples Day Recognition :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/trump-reinstates-columbus-day-amid-indigenous-peoples-day-debate-011-4136967.html?ref=DMDesc Trump Considers Temporary Exemption from Auto Tariffs to Aid Car Manufacturers Amid Economic Challenges :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/trump-considers-temporary-exemption-auto-tariffs-011-4124041.html?ref=DMDesc Trump Dismisses General Tim Haugh from National Security Agency Amidst Congressional Concerns :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/trump-fires-general-tim-haugh-national-security-agency-011-4115013.html?ref=DMDesc ~HT.318~ED.346~GR.122~
