Trump threatens tolls as US denies Iran’s Strait of Hormuz closure

US President Donald Trump has threatened to impose American tolls on the Strait of Hormuz, after Iran declared the crucial waterway closed once again overnight - already threatening the interim agreement to end the war.

Donald Trump loses Iran war resolution vote in stinging rebuke

Donald Trump could be forced to withdraw from the Iran war after a crucial vote in the US House of Representatives. The Iran war powers resolution would end the war or force the president to get approval from Congress to continue it. Donald Trump has been rebuked with a vote in Congress against the war in Iran. AP Photo/Alex Brandon The bill has passed on a narrow 215-208 vote after four Republicans crossed the floor to vote with Democrats. Another six Republicans did not vote. The resolution is a stinging rebuke to Trump, especially given enough of his own party members were willing to vote against him. There were cheers in the House as the resolution passed. “A majority of Americans are sick and tired of this president’s reckless warmongering,” Democratic Congressma...

Iran says draft deal with US would reopen Hormuz shipping, end naval blockade

Iran's state TV says it has obtained a draft of an initial, unofficial framework for a memorandum of understanding with the US on ending their conflict.

Trump’s handpicked candidate may cost his party their most important state

Republicans are fretting that a candidate endorsed by Donald Trump may cost them in their most important state.

His comfortable win this morning over Cornyn comes after Trump threw his support behind Paxton last week after a bitter and expensive primary election. Ken Paxton lost his vision in one eye in a hide-and-seek mishap when he was 12. (AP) But Paxton has been so scandal-prone that it could give Democrats an opening in the conservative state. As Texas attorney-general, his own staff reported him to the FBI with bribery and corruption accusations. Paxton then fired the whistleblowers. He was impeached by the state House of R...
