Judge orders Trump administration to speed up payment of USAID and State Department debts

A federal judge on Thursday ordered the Trump administration to speed up its payment on some of nearly $US2 billion in debts to partners of the US Agency for International Development and the State Department, giving it a Monday deadline to repay the nonprofit groups and businesses in a lawsuit over the administration's abrupt shutdown of foreign assistance funding. US District Judge Amir Ali described the partial payment as a "concrete" first step he wanted to see from the administration, which is fighting multiple lawsuits seeking to roll back the administration's dismantling of USAID and a six-week freeze on USAID funding, which has forced US-funded organisations to halt aid and development work around the world and lay off workers. Ali's line of questioning in a four-hour h...

US President Donald Trump says he is "strongly considering" sanctions and tariffs on Russia in hopes of forcing a settlement to the war in Ukraine.

Trump backflips on tariffs yet again, threatens immense new tax on Canadian dairy, lumber

A day after offering Canada a one-month reprieve on punishing, virtually across-the-board 25 per cent tariffs, President Donald Trump has threatened new tariffs as soon as Friday on Canadian lumber and dairy products. It's yet another twist in a serpentine trade policy that seems to shift on an hourly basis. "Canada has been ripping us off for years on lumber and on dairy products," Trump said in an Oval Office address, citing Canada's roughly 250 per cent tariff on US dairy exports to the country. Trump said America would match those tariffs dollar-for-dollar. "We may do it as early as today, or we'll wait until Monday or Tuesday," Trump said. "We're going to charge the same thing. It's not fair. It never has been fair, and they've treated our farmers badly." Donald T...

Russia attacks Ukraine’s energy supplies as US cuts its access to satellite images

Russia attacked Ukrainian energy facilities with dozens of missiles and drones during the night, officials said, hobbling the country's ability to deliver heat and light to its citizens and to power weapons factories vital to its defences. The overnight barrage — which also pounded residences and wounded at least 10 people — came days after the US suspended military aid and intelligence to Ukraine to pressure it into accepting a peace deal being pushed by the Trump administration. Without US intelligence, Ukraine's ability to strike inside Russia and defend itself from bombardment is significantly diminished. The US government said it halted Ukrainian access to unclassified satellite images that had been used to help it fight back against Russia. Firefighters put out t...

European leaders pledge to stand by Ukraine after confrontational Oval Office meeting with Trump

European leaders pledged to stand by Ukraine in the wake of the contentious Oval Office meeting between US President Donald Trump, Vice President JD Vance and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, with their statements in support of their neighbor on the continent ensuring a deepening transatlantic rift. European leaders already were shaken by Vance's speech to the Munich Security Conference two weeks ago in which he lectured them about the state of their democracy. As prime ministers and presidents across the continent scrambled to respond, they have held a series of emergency summits to discuss security. Another major summit is scheduled for Sunday in London, hosted by UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer. More than a dozen European and EU leaders, including Zelenskyy, will gath...

Zelenskyy bristled at his berating by Trump and Vance. After three years of war, what did they expect?

On a horizon where drones and airstrikes have killed 47 civilians in Ukraine in the past 10 days, superlatives rained: the most consequential moment in the war since Russia's invasion; the ugliest personality clash — between a 48-year-old comedian turned wartime leader and a septuagenarian billionaire turned US president; the most significant turning point in European history since 1989 or even 1945. After Ukrainian leader Volodymyr Zelenskyy found himself berated for lack of gratitude on live television by US President Donald Trump and his Vice President JD Vance , Ukraine seemed immediately unsure whether to be furious at his treatment – after their collective survival of three years of Russian bombardment and savagery – at the hands of wealthy American elites, or to seek remedy i...
