Federal judge blocks Elon Musk’s DOGE access to critical Treasury payment system

A federal judge, citing a risk of "irreparable harm", has temporarily restricted Elon Musk's government efficiency team from accessing a critical Treasury Department payment system. The judge's order, issued early on Saturday, temporarily halts access to a sensitive payment system that distributes Americans' tax returns, Social Security benefits, disability payments and federal employees' salaries. US District Judge Paul Engelmayer ordered the destruction of any downloaded information from the payment system by anyone given access to it since January 20, citing "the risk that the new policy presents of the disclosure of sensitive and confidential information and the heightened risk that the systems in question will be more vulnerable than before to hacking". The judge'...

Trump says he’s spoken with Putin as Russia’s war in Ukraine approaches third anniversary

US President Donald Trump has announced in an interview that he has spoken with Russian President Vladimir Putin. "He wants to see people stop dying," Trump told the New York Post. It was not immediately clear when the leaders spoke or if they had spoken since Trump took office in January, and how many times. Trump said in the interview he "better not say" how many times he had spoken with Putin but touted a "good relationship" with his Russian counterpart. The US president expressed hope that Putin's war in Ukraine, which is approaching its third anniversary, ends "fast." He had previously vowed to end the conflict within 24 hours of taking office. "I hope it's fast. Every day people are dying. This war is so bad in Ukraine. I want to end this damn thing,"...

What do Trump’s executive orders say on tariffs and how would they work?

With a trio of executive orders, US President Donald Trump has almost instantly thrown the world economy and his own goal of cutting inflation into turmoil. His tariffs against Canada and Mexico in order to stop illegal immigration and the illicit fentanyl trade led to retaliatory taxes by both countries on US imports. He placed an additional 10 per cent tariff on imports from China with the stated goal of stopping the production of fentanyl. A trade war is looming between the US, Canada, and Mexico. (AP) But on a deeper level, Trump suddenly hit the US economy with tax increases that, if sustained, could total more than US$1 trillion ($1.61 trillion) in 10 years. He did so without congressional approval and by his own acknowledgement at the perilous chance of ...

Trump’s tariffs are a $2.25 trillion gamble with the economy and prices

US President Donald Trump is on the verge of hitting America's three biggest trading partners with sweeping tariffs, a far more aggressive use of his favourite economic weapon than anything he did during his first term. The looming import taxes on Mexico, Canada and China will be a major test of Trump's unorthodox use of tariffs, which he's described as "the greatest thing ever invented". It's an enormous gamble, arguably a bigger one than any economic policy Trump enacted during his four-plus years in the White House. And this strategy has the potential to upend the thing many voters care about the most: the economy and the cost of living.

Donald Trump has pulled Anthony Fauci’s security detail, source says

President Donald Trump has terminated Dr. Anthony Fauci's security detail that was being provided and paid for by the National Institutes of Health, a source familiar with the situation tells CNN. It was pulled on Thursday night. Given he continues to face ongoing threats due to his public-facing role during the Covid-19 pandemic, Fauci has now hired his own private security that he'll pay for himself, the source told CNN. This comes as Trump continues his retribution tour against the officials who previously served under him. He has also yanked security details from former national security adviser John Bolton and former Secretary of State Mike Pompeo. Donald Trump has publicly feuded with America's top infectious diseases expert Anthony Fauci. (AP) "I think ...

Trump proposes ‘getting rid’ of emergency agency while touring disaster areas

President Donald Trump surveyed disaster zones in California and North Carolina on Friday and said he was considering "getting rid of" the Federal Emergency Management Agency, offering the latest sign of how he is weighing sweeping changes to the nation's central organisation for responding to disasters. In fire-ravaged California, the state's Democratic leaders pressed Trump for federal assistance that he's threatened to hold up, some setting aside their past differences to shower him with praise. Trump, in turn, pressured local officials to waive permitting requirements so people can immediately rebuild, pledging that federal permits would be granted promptly. President Donald Trump and first lady Melania Trump walk with Jason Hing, chief deputy of emergency services...
