In a fiery White House exchange, South Korean President Lee Jae Myung sided with U.S. President Donald Trump as both leaders accused Joe Biden of enabling North Korea’s nuclear rise.
President Lee told Trump the Korean peninsula was “stable” during Trump’s first term, but claimed North Korea advanced its weapons program significantly under Biden’s watch.
Trump immediately seized the moment, declaring, “They would not have done that if I were President,” to which Lee replied, “I completely agree with you.” The dramatic on-camera moment is fueling debate in Washington and Seoul, with critics warning that such public criticism of Biden could inflame U.S. domestic politics and reshape Korean diplomacy.
Supporters of Trump, however, hailed the remarks as proof that his strongman approach had kept Pyongyang in check.
The sharp rebuke leaves Biden facing fresh questions over his North Korea policy.
Russia’s missile strike on the U.S.-owned Flex factory in Ukraine was seen as a potential turning point in the war. But instead of lifting the ban on deep Ukrainian strikes inside Russia, President Trump responded with a tweet blaming Biden—without directly condemning Putin. Even after Putin openly rejected Trump’s calls for talks, the U.S. president showed restraint, raising doubts about his approach to Moscow. With Ukraine seeking stronger support and Russia flexing military power, Trump’s silence underscores Putin’s upper hand in diplomacy.

U.S. President Donald J. Trump reacted sharply after Russian missile strikes destroyed an American-owned factory in Ukraine, accusing Joe Biden of weakness and incompetence. Trump argued that Ukraine cannot win the war without striking inside Russia, blasting Biden for only allowing Kyiv to “defend” instead of “fight back.” He claimed the invasion would have “zero chance” of happening if he were in office, declaring that Biden’s failed leadership emboldened Moscow. The attack, which hit a U.S. electronics plant in western Ukraine, has intensified tensions and raised fears that Russia is deliberately targeting American investments. Trump’s fiery comments come as Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky warns that Vladimir Putin does not want peace but seeks to install a Russian-controlled puppet regime. With Washington and Europe scrambling for security guarantees, Trump’s blunt remarks signal deep divisions in U.S. policy as the war enters a new, dangerous phase.

Donald Trump has introduced a new strategy to deter illegal immigration: painting the southern border wall black. Kristi Noem revealed the move, saying the black paint will absorb more heat, making the wall harder to climb while extending its durability. Border officials claim construction is advancing at half a mile per day, with added sensors and cameras. Interim El Paso Sector Chief Walter Slosar said migrant apprehensions have dropped dramatically, highlighting Trump’s tougher enforcement compared to Biden.

The high-stakes White House summit between Donald Trump, Volodymyr Zelensky, and EU leaders has ended in deadlock. Trump pushed a radical shift from Biden’s massive aid packages to direct U.S. weapons sales via EU partners, while Putin dismissed the peace framework as a direct threat to Russia. With “territorial adjustments” floated as part of a land-for-peace approach, the summit has exposed deep divides on the future of Ukraine.

In a bombshell announcement, U.S. President Donald Trump has declared a “Full and Complete Trade Deal” with South Korea — worth a staggering $350 billion in American-controlled investments. Trump, who claims the deals were “selected by myself, as President,” also revealed a $100 billion LNG energy commitment from Seoul and exclusive, tariff-free access for U.S. products in Korean markets.
In return, South Korea’s exports to the U.S. will face a stiff 15% tariff. Trump described the agreement as a symbol of America’s dominance, likening it to the collection of “imperial tribute.” The deal includes upcoming additional investments, to be finalized when President Lee Jae Myung visits Washington. With dramatic language and economic muscle-flexing, Trump painted the deal as a massive American win — and a clear message to rival economies, particularly India and China.

North Korean leader Kim Jong Un has issued a final nuclear warning to the U.S. and South Korea, accusing their joint military drills of being a “direct threat” to Pyongyang. During a visit to a navy destroyer, Kim called for a rapid expansion of North Korea’s nuclear arsenal and accused Washington and Seoul of preparing for war. His sister, Kim Yo Jong, rejected dialogue and slammed South Korea’s reliance on the U.S. With Ulchi Freedom Shield drills underway, tensions on the Korean Peninsula continue to mount.

On Ukraine’s 2025 Independence Day, President Volodymyr Zelensky made a bold fashion statement that went beyond clothing—it was pure symbolism. Just six days after wearing a formal black suit at the White House under reported pressure from Donald Trump’s team, Zelensky returned home and ditched the Western formality for a striking black vyshyvanka, Ukraine’s traditional embroidered shirt. The black fabric carried deep meaning: mourning the thousands lost in war while showcasing resilience and national pride. For Ukrainians, the vyshyvanka is more than an outfit—it’s a symbol of cultural survival. Zelensky’s decision to abandon suits “too” for his own nation’s day underscored his defiance of external expectations and his loyalty to Ukrainian traditions. It was not just attire, but wartime messaging: Ukraine’s spirit cannot be tailored to foreign demands.

Ukraine celebrates its 34th Independence Day, but President Zelensky faces the day alone as Trump and NATO leaders stay away. Amid a failed White House summit and ongoing Russian offensives, Ukraine’s fight continues without key international support. Zelensky urges unity and self-determination while diplomacy stalls and the battlefield grows more intense.

Russia has escalated the war in Ukraine with one of its biggest aerial assaults of the year, launching over 600 drones and missiles on western Ukraine, striking residential areas and even a U.S.-owned electronics plant near the Hungarian border. At least one person was killed and 15 injured, including six night-shift workers at the American-run Flex factory. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky accused Moscow of deliberately targeting American businesses, declaring that Putin does not seek peace but aims to install a Russian puppet in Ukraine. The attack came just days after U.S. President Donald Trump met Putin in Alaska and hosted Zelensky and European leaders at the White House. While Russia’s foreign minister claimed peace talks could happen, Zelensky said Moscow’s actions prove otherwise. The strike has raised tensions in Washington and Europe, with leaders weighing stronger sanctions and new military guarantees for Kyiv.

The United States has signaled a dramatic shift in its Ukraine policy, with Politico reporting that Washington plans to play only a minimal role in Kyiv’s long-term security guarantees. U.S. Defense Policy Undersecretary Elbridge Colby told European counterparts during Aug. 19 talks that the burden of ensuring Ukraine’s safety will fall on Europe, not America. The news follows President Donald Trump’s high-profile meetings with Russian President Vladimir Putin in Alaska and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky at the White House. Despite Trump boasting of progress in peace negotiations, he made clear that U.S. troops will not be deployed in Ukraine to uphold any deal. European leaders, alarmed by the prospect of carrying the bulk of responsibility, fear being left “back to spring’s coalition of the willing.” As NATO prepares for further discussions, Trump has floated a trilateral summit with Putin and Zelensky to seal a potential settlement.

Donald Trump has slapped 25% tariffs on Japan and South Korea, warning both nations to “build in the USA or pay up.” With a July 9 deadline looming, Trump’s letters threaten even steeper tariffs if Tokyo or Seoul retaliate or refuse trade deals. He blames long-standing U.S. trade deficits on “unfair policies.” Investors reacted sharply—Nissan shares tumbled over 7%. As tariff tensions rise, Trump promises fast-track approvals for companies shifting production to the U.S., intensifying global trade war fears.
