Trump and Putin will come face-to-face tomorrow. What can we expect from their meeting?

The eyes of the world will be on Alaska tomorrow as US President Donald Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin come face-to-face for a highly anticipated meeting. The visit will mark the first time Putin has travelled to the US since his appearance at the United Nations General Assembly in New York in 2015. Ahead of the historic meeting, Trump holds hopes Putin will "make a deal" on the conflict in Ukraine but White House officials are managing expectations by downplaying the meeting as a "listening exercise".

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.

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. And hot on his heels into the White House are the pack of "Day One" promises Trump made on the campaign trail. Trump has promised a lot of change on his first day in office. (AP) It all adds up to a very busy day in the office. Dictatorship? In an interview with Fox last year, Trump said he would not use his presidential powers to pursue retribution against anybody – "Except for day one". "I want to close the border and I want to drill, drill, drill,...

What to know about the ceasefire deal between Israel and Lebanon’s Hezbollah

A ceasefire deal that went into effect on Wednesday could end more than a year of cross-border fighting between Israel and Lebanon's Hezbollah militant group, raising hopes and renewing difficult questions in a region gripped by conflict. The US- and France-brokered deal, approved by Israel late Tuesday, calls for an initial two-month halt to fighting and requires Hezbollah to end its armed presence in southern Lebanon, while Israeli troops are to return to their side of the border. It offers both sides an off-ramp from hostilities that have driven more than 1.2 million Lebanese and 50,000 Israelis from their homes. An intense bombing campaign by Israel has left more than 3700 people dead, many of them civilians, Lebanese officials say. More than 130 people have been killed on ...

Is Trump right to point the finger at China over the fentanyl crisis?

Donald Trump has threatened to impose sweeping tariffs on China and other countries for failing to stem shipments of drugs to the US. This week, the US president-elect announced he would be slapping 25 per cent tariffs on imports from China, Mexico and Canada when he assumes power. But Trump went a step further with China, singling out the emerging superpower for its role in the US opioid crisis, which is killing thousands of Americans every year. Donald Trump led Republicans to a clean sweep of the House, Senate and the White House. (AP) In a post on his Truth Social site, he said he wants to impose an "an additional 10 per cent tariff" on imports from China until the flow of illicit drugs, particularly fentanyl, dries up. Trump said he has "had many tal...
