Trump says it would be 'stupid' not to accept Qatari plane - as jet already in the US
Tuesday, 13 May 2025 Donald Trump has claimed it would be "stupid" not to accept the gift of a free Qatari plane to replace Air Force One, with the jet already in the US, according to flight tracking data.
The controversy over Donald Trump accepting a $400 million luxury Boeing 747 from the Qatari royal family has erupted into a political firestorm. As critics question the legality and ethics of the jet gift, Representative Shri has officially called for Trump's impeachment, citing potential violations...
President Trump has issued new tariff letters to six more countries—Philippines, Brunei, Moldova, Algeria, Iraq, and Libya—via Truth Social, with 20–30% duties set to begin August 1. This follows his April plan to reset global trade, which was paused for 90 days. Trump warns rates may shift depending on diplomatic ties. With only two deals struck so far, the unilateral tariff campaign risks global retaliation and further disruption to supply chains amid rising trade tensions.

Giant billboards of Donald Trump and Syrian President Ahmed Al-Sharaa have appeared in Damascus, thanking Trump for lifting U.S. sanctions on Syria. The hoardings read “Strong Leaders Make Peace” and “Syrian People Thank You.” This follows Trump’s June 30 executive order ending broad sanctions to support Syria’s post-Assad regime. Al-Sharaa, a controversial former Al-Nusra figure, has pledged inclusive governance. Trump met him in May, calling him “tough” and “attractive,” marking the first U.S.-Syria leader meeting in 20+ years.

The United States has confirmed it is sending another Patriot air defense system to Ukraine to help the war-torn nation counter Russia's escalating aerial assaults. This decision comes as former President Donald Trump issued a strong statement, bashing Russian President Vladimir Putin for his aggressive military strategy. For months, Ukraine has pleaded for more advanced air defense, as the previous freeze in U.S. military aid allowed Russian warplanes to dominate the skies and launch devastating strikes with ballistic missiles like the Iskander and the hypersonic Kinzhal.
The Patriot system is considered Ukraine's only reliable and effective shield against these specific high-speed threats. Its advanced radar and PAC-3 MSE interceptors are critical for protecting high-value targets, including the capital city of Kyiv, and vital energy infrastructure that Russia has systematically targeted. President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has stated that Ukraine needs more of these systems, as the current six to eight units leave vast areas of the country exposed to Russian attacks.
However, the deployment is not without risks. Each Patriot missile costs between $2-4 million, and Russia actively targets these valuable systems on the battlefield. The U.S. itself has a limited global inventory of Patriot units, balancing urgent requests from Ukraine with strategic commitments to allies in the Middle East and the South China Sea. This deployment signals a critical phase in the Russia-Ukraine war, testing both Ukrainian resilience and American strategic resolve.
