Everything Donald Trump has promised to do on his first day in the White House

Most US presidents come to office with promises of change and new directions on their lips – but Donald Trump in particular is set to have a busy first day in office. The 45th and 47th president of the US, only the second in history to serve non-consecutive terms, will be sworn in on January 20, 2025.

FBI now says driver responsible for deadly New Orleans rampage acted alone as Bourbon Street re-opens

The US Army veteran who drove a ute into a crowd of New Year's revellers acted alone, the FBI said on Thursday, reversing its position from a day earlier that he likely worked with others in carrying out the deadly attack, which officials say was an act of terrorism inspired by the Islamic State (IS) group.

The person inside, identified as active-duty US Army Green Beret Matthew Livelsberger, died. Officials later said he suffered a gunshot wound to the...

Investigators attempt to arrest South Korean president

South Korean investigators have attempted to detain impeached President Yoon Suk Yeol over his short-lived martial law decree last month, as hundreds of his supporters gathered near his residence in Seoul, vowing to protect him. About 20 investigators from the Corruption Investigation Office for High-Ranking Officials and police officers were seen entering the gate of Yoon's residence in Seoul to execute a warrant for his detention.
