Trump is undergoing his annual physical after years of reluctance to share medical information

Donald Trump is undergoing his annual physical on Friday, potentially giving the public its first details in years about the health of a man who in January became the oldest in US history to be sworn in as president. "I have never felt better, but nevertheless, these things must be done!" Trump, 78, posted on his social media site of the examination which was being conducted at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center, in Bethesda, Maryland, outside Washington. Despite long questioning predecessor Joe Biden's physical and mental capacity, Trump has routinely kept basic facts about his own health shrouded in secrecy — shying away from traditional presidential transparency on medical issues. President Donald Trump speaks during an event on energy production in ...

Vance accuses Denmark of underinvesting in Greenland as Trump presses for US takeover of the island

US Vice President JD Vance said on Friday that Denmark has "underinvested" in Greenland's security and demanded that Denmark change its approach as President Donald Trump continues to talk of taking over the Danish territory. The pointed remarks came as Vance visited US troops on Pituffik Space Base on the mineral-rich, strategically critical island. "Our message to Denmark is very simple: You have not done a good job by the people of Greenland," Vance said.

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...

Mitch McConnell won’t seek reelection in 2026, ending long tenure as Republican power broker

Republican Senator Mitch McConnell is announcing he won't seek reelection next year, ending a decades-long tenure as a power broker who championed conservative causes but ultimately ceded ground to the fierce GOP populism of US President Donald Trump. McConnell, the longest-serving Senate party leader in US history, chose his 83rd birthday to share his decision not to run for another term in Kentucky and to retire when his current term ends. He informed The Associated Press of his decision before he was set to address colleagues in a speech on the Senate floor on Thursday (Friday AEDT). His announcement begins the epilogue of a storied career as a master strategist, one in which he helped forge a conservative Supreme Court and steered the Senate through tax cuts, presidential i...
