Trump backs Cuomo for New York City mayor and threatens to cut funding if Mamdani wins

US President Donald Trump has endorsed Andrew Cuomo in the New York City mayor's race, urging voters not to elect left-wing front-runner Zohran Mamdani. "Whether you personally like Andrew Cuomo or not, you really have no choice. You must vote for him, and hope he does a fantastic job," Trump posted on Truth Social Monday evening. "He is capable of it, Mamdani is not!" Independent candidate Cuomo, a long-term Trump critic who was formerly a Democrat New York governor, responded to the tepid backing: " He's not endorsing me. He's opposing Mamdani." The president earlier said he would be reluctant to send more than the minimum federal funding to his hometown of New York if Mamdani is elected. Opinion polls indicate Mamdani, the Democratic nominee, is ahead of Cuomo, who is runnin...

Chilling discovery in Antarctica that has scientists sounding alarm bells

An Antarctic glacier shrunk by nearly 50 per cent in just two months to mark the fastest retreat recorded in modern history - and the way it happened could have big implications for global sea level rise. The Hektoria Glacier, slightly larger in size than the NSW city of Newcastle, is on the Antarctic Peninsula, a spindly chain of mountains sticking off the continent like a thumb pointing toward South America. It is one of the fastest warming regions on the planet. Grounded glaciers such as Hektoria, which rest on the seabed and don't float, generally retreat no more than a few hundred metres a year. But between November and December 2022, Hektoria retreated by 8 kilometres, according to a study published in the journal Nature Geoscience. Between 2022 and 2023, broken ...

Suspects charged in alleged terror plot cited ISIS and may have tried to replicate Paris terror attack on US soil, FBI says

Two men face federal charges for allegedly plotting an ISIS-inspired Halloween attack in the US – possibly on the scale of the 2015 Paris terror attacks that killed at least 130 people, authorities say. An FBI raid on Halloween morning stunned neighbors in Dearborn, the second-safest city in Michigan and home to the highest concentration of Arab Americans in the US. Mohmed Ali and Majed Mahmoud face charges of "receiving and transferring, and attempting and conspiring to transfer, firearms and ammunition knowing and having reasonable cause to believe that the firearms and ammunition would be used to commit a Federal crime of terrorism," according to a criminal complaint. An FBI agent enters a home in a Dearborn, Michigan, neighborhood on October 31. (Mike Householder/A...

New US poll deals major blow to Donald Trump

More Americans than ever before disapprove of US President Donald Trump's actions in office, according to a major new poll in the US. The fall of 2025 is not a replay of 2017, the year before the Democrats captured control of the US House in Trump's first term. The Democrats' five-point advantage among registered voters in the generic congressional ballot falls short of the 11-point edge they held in CNN polling a year before the 2018 midterms. President Donald Trump waves as he boards Air Force One at Palm Beach International Airport. (AP) And favourable views of the party still stand near all-time lows as they have throughout this year, eight points below where they were in the fall of Trump's first year in office. In a mid-term election year, though, views o...

Trump raises tariffs on Canadian goods over Reagan advert

Getty Images Trump posted about the tariff increase while flying to Malaysia on Saturday Donald Trump has said he is adding 10% to US tariffs on goods imported from Canada, after the province of Ontario aired an anti-tariff advertisement featuring Ronald Reagan. Calling the advert a "fraud", the US president lashed out at Canadian officials for not removing it ahead of the World Series baseball championship. Prime Minister Mark Carney said in response that Canada was ready "to continue to build on the progress we had been making" in trade talks, but added that it was developing trade relationships with other countries. Canada is the only G7 country to not reach a deal with the US since Trump began seeking to levy steep tariffs on goods from major trading partners. ...

Trump presides over Thai-Cambodia ‘peace deal’ – but what does it mean?

It was, as everyone knew it would be, all about US President Donald Trump. He literally towered over everyone else at the ceremony in Kuala Lumpur where Cambodia and Thailand signed their agreement. He gave the longest speech - and made the biggest claims. It was all superlatives. "This is a momentous day for South East Asia," Trump said. "A monumental step." Describing the two slightly sheepish-looking prime ministers who were about to sign the deal as "historic figures", Trump recalled at length how he got involved in the Thai-Cambodian border conflict while he was visiting his Turnberry golf course in Scotland in July. "And I said this is much more important than a round of golf... I could have had a lot of fun, but this is much more fun... saving people and saving countries." T...
