@EricTrump/X A concept image of the Trump International Hotel & Tower Gold Coast Plans for a AU$1.5bn ($1.1bn; £802bn) Trump Tower in Queensland have been scrapped with an Australian developer blaming the "toxic" Trump brand and the Iran war for the project's demise. It comes just three months after the deal was announced, with claims that the 91-story luxury hotel on the Gold Coast would be Australia's tallest building, measuring 335 metres (1,100 ft) high, taller than the Shard in London. Details about the project have been deleted from the Trump Organization's website with a spokesperson saying the developer had not met obligations. Altus Property Group denied those claims and maintained the project would continue with other luxury brands as options. ...

British Prime Minister Keir Starmer fighting to keep job

Trump says US to ‘guide’ stranded ships through Strait of Hormuz

AFP via Getty Images The United States says it will on Monday begin trying to free merchant ships stranded by Iran's closure of the key shipping channel, the Strait of Hormuz, since the start of the war.

Warning Trump’s Germany troop pullout sends wrong message to Putin

Two top American legislators from Donald Trump's party have slammed the president's move to withdraw 5000 US troops based in Germany, saying it sends the wrong message to Russia. The Pentagon announced last Friday the troops would be withdrawn, making good Trump's threat after he clashed with the German Chancellor, Friedrich Merz, over the US war with Iran. But the decision has been criticised by US Republican politicians Roger Wicker and Mike Rogers, who chair the Senate and House armed services committees respectively.
