Trump is ramping up a new effort to convince a skeptical public he can fix affordability worries

US President Donald Trump is adjusting his messaging strategy to win over voters who are worried about the cost of living with plans to emphasise new tax breaks and show progress on fighting inflation. The messaging is centered around affordability, and the push comes after inflation emerged as a major vulnerability for Trump and Republicans in Tuesday's elections, in which voters overwhelmingly said the economy was their biggest concern. Democrats took advantage of concerns about affordability to run up huge margins in the New Jersey and Virginia governor races, flipping what had been a strength for Trump in the 2024 presidential election into a vulnerability going into next year's midterm elections.

Trump backs Cuomo for New York City mayor and threatens to cut funding if Mamdani wins

US President Donald Trump has endorsed Andrew Cuomo in the New York City mayor's race, urging voters not to elect left-wing front-runner Zohran Mamdani. "Whether you personally like Andrew Cuomo or not, you really have no choice. You must vote for him, and hope he does a fantastic job," Trump posted on Truth Social Monday evening. "He is capable of it, Mamdani is not!" Independent candidate Cuomo, a long-term Trump critic who was formerly a Democrat New York governor, responded to the tepid backing: " He's not endorsing me. He's opposing Mamdani." The president earlier said he would be reluctant to send more than the minimum federal funding to his hometown of New York if Mamdani is elected. Opinion polls indicate Mamdani, the Democratic nominee, is ahead of Cuomo, who is runnin...

New US poll deals major blow to Donald Trump

More Americans than ever before disapprove of US President Donald Trump's actions in office, according to a major new poll in the US. The fall of 2025 is not a replay of 2017, the year before the Democrats captured control of the US House in Trump's first term. The Democrats' five-point advantage among registered voters in the generic congressional ballot falls short of the 11-point edge they held in CNN polling a year before the 2018 midterms.

(AP) And favourable views of the party still stand near all-time lows as they have throughout this year, eight points below where they were in the fall of Trump's first year in office. In a mid-term election year, though, views o...

Trump raises tariffs on Canadian goods over Reagan advert

Getty Images Trump posted about the tariff increase while flying to Malaysia on Saturday Donald Trump has said he is adding 10% to US tariffs on goods imported from Canada, after the province of Ontario aired an anti-tariff advertisement featuring Ronald Reagan. Calling the advert a "fraud", the US president lashed out at Canadian officials for not removing it ahead of the World Series baseball championship. Prime Minister Mark Carney said in response that Canada was ready "to continue to build on the progress we had been making" in trade talks, but added that it was developing trade relationships with other countries. Canada is the only G7 country to not reach a deal with the US since Trump began seeking to levy steep tariffs on goods from major trading partners. ...

Trump presides over Thai-Cambodia ‘peace deal’ – but what does it mean?

It was, as everyone knew it would be, all about US President Donald Trump. He literally towered over everyone else at the ceremony in Kuala Lumpur where Cambodia and Thailand signed their agreement. He gave the longest speech - and made the biggest claims. It was all superlatives. "This is a momentous day for South East Asia," Trump said. "A monumental step." Describing the two slightly sheepish-looking prime ministers who were about to sign the deal as "historic figures", Trump recalled at length how he got involved in the Thai-Cambodian border conflict while he was visiting his Turnberry golf course in Scotland in July. "And I said this is much more important than a round of golf... I could have had a lot of fun, but this is much more fun... saving people and saving countries." T...

Kamala Harris hints at another presidential run: ‘I am not done’

Former US vice president Kamala Harris has hinted she could make another bid for the White House in an interview with the BBC, saying she would "possibly" be president one day and expressing confidence that America will see a woman in the Oval Office in the future.

"I am not done," the former vice president said. Former US vice president Kamala Harris has hinted she could make another bid for the White House in an interview with the BBC (BBC) "I have lived my entire career as a life of service and it's in my bones," she added.
