Did Trump Shatter Bible Touching Tradition? No Hand on the Bible During Swearing-In Sparks Row
During Donald Trump's inauguration, a notable break from tradition occurred as he took the oath of office without placing his hand on a Bible.
Although First Lady Melania Trump brought two Bibles, neither was used during the ceremony.
The absence of this customary gesture has raised questions about its meaning, with some speculating it was a personal choice, while others questioned whether it signaled a departure from long-held traditions or simply an oversight.
This omission stands out, given the deep symbolic nature of the Bible during the presidential oath.
Xi Jinping warns that ābullyingā and āhegemonismā in global trade will backfire, criticizing U.S. trade policies. Speaking at a Latin American summit in Beijing, Xi emphasized that no one wins in a tariff war, advocating for unity and cooperation. His comments follow a temporary truce in the U.S.-China trade conflict, where both nations agreed to significantly reduce tariffs. With China scaling back levies on U.S. imports and the U.S. agreeing to lower tariffs on Chinese goods, Xi framed China as a defender of free trade and global fairness.

As President Trump visits Saudi Arabia, the UAE, and Qatar, Yemenās Houthi leaders issue a stark warning to Gulf states against aligning with Washington. Mohammed Ali al-Houthi called on Arab leaders to stand with Palestine and remember America's history of abandoning allies like the Shah of Iran. Despite a U.S.-mediated truce, Houthi leaders vow to continue retaliatory strikes in defense of Gaza. The UAE welcomes the Oman-brokered ceasefire for boosting regional trade, but tensions remain high with Israel striking Yemen following Houthi attacks. The group remains defiant and distrustful of U.S. promises.

In a recent interview, Congress MP Manish Tewari addressed the cessation of hostilities between India and Pakistan, emphasizing that labeling it a "ceasefire" is misleading, as there was no formal declaration of war. He stated that India's military actions were a response to Pakistan's support for terrorism, not an act of war. Tewari also critiqued U.S. President Donald Trump's claims of mediating the ceasefire, asserting that the Kashmir conflict began 78 years ago, not a millennium ago as implied by Trump.

U.S. President Donald Trump and Melania Trump are set to attend Pope Francisā funeral but will reportedly be seated in the third rowābehind Catholic and non-Catholic royalty. The UK Telegraph dubbed the placement āhumiliating,ā especially after Trump had mocked Bidenās 14th-row spot at Queen Elizabethās funeral. World leaders, including Trump, will sit alphabetically by country (in French), possibly placing the Trumps near Estonia or Eswatini. The optics of this seating have stirred buzz online and could reignite debates on America's global status and Trumpās past remarks.
