Trump lashes out at ‘weaklings’ who believe Epstein ‘hoax’ amid building GOP pressure to release documents

US President Donald Trump has accused some of his longtime supporters of being "weaklings" who are falling prey to Democratic "bullshit" about the late sex offender Jeffrey Epstein — concluding that he no longer wants their support. The message was the clearest sign yet of the cracks emerging in the president's coalition, many of whom are loudly demanding more information about the disgraced financier, who has been subject to myriad conspiracies since his death by suicide in 2019. And some of his allies don't appear to be listening, with Republicans in Congress taking steps on Wednesday morning (Wednesday night AEST) to potentially force the Justice Department to release more documents. With Trump defending the findings, the situation has set up an unprecedented ...

Trump says Coca-Cola will use real sugar in its US flagship drink. The company isn’t confirming that

President Donald Trump said Coca-Cola has agreed to use real cane sugar in its flagship soft drink in the US at his suggestion — though the company didn't confirm such a move. Any switch from high-fructose corn syrup in Coke sold in the US would put Coca-Cola more in line with its practice in other countries, including Mexico and Australia. But it wouldn't affect Trump's drink of choice, Diet Coke, which uses aspartame as a calorie-free beverage. "I have been speaking to Coca-Cola about using REAL Cane Sugar in Coke in the United States, and they have agreed to do so," Trump wrote on his social media site. Donald Trump has announced Coca-Cola is changing its recipe at his request. (AP) "I'd like to thank all of those in authority at Coca-Cola. This will be a v...

Ally of Iranian Supreme Leader jokes Iran could assassinate sunbathing Donald Trump

A friend of the Iranian Supreme Leader has joked Iran could assassinate US President Donald Trump in Florida. During a discussion about Iran's military technology, regime figure Mohammad-Javad Larijani and advisor to Supreme Leader of Iran Ayatollah Ali Khamenei said Trump "can no longer sunbathe in Mar-a-Lago".

Trump threatens 35 per cent tariffs on Canada, Australia’s could double

US President Donald Trump has threatened a 35 per cent tariff on goods imported from Canada, a dramatic escalation in an on-again, off-again trade war with America's northern neighbour and one of its most important trading partners. "Starting August 1, 2025, we will charge Canada a Tariff of 35 per cent on Canadian products sent into the United States, separate from all Sectoral Tariffs," Trump wrote in a letter posted to social media.

UN nuclear watchdog chief says Iran could again begin enriching uranium in ‘matter of months’

The head of the United Nation's nuclear watchdog says US strikes on Iran fell short of causing total damage to its nuclear program and that Tehran could restart enriching uranium "in a matter of months", contradicting US President Donald Trump's claims the US set Tehran's ambitions back by decades. Rafael Grossi's comments appear to support an early assessment from the Pentagon's Defence Intelligence Agency, first reported on by CNN, which suggests the US' strikes on key Iranian nuclear sites last week did not destroy the core components of its nuclear program, and likely only set it back by months. While the final military and intelligence assessment has yet to come, Trump has repeatedly claimed to have "completely and totally obliterated" Tehran's nuclear program. IA...
