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...

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. ...

US Supreme Court to consider law barring illegal drug users from owning guns

Getty Images The US Supreme Court will consider whether a law banning habitual illegal drug users from possessing guns violates the constitution. The Trump administration requested the review after a lower federal court in Texas ruled in favour of a man who was charged under the statute but argued it violated his constitutional right to possess a firearm. The government is seeking to preserve the law and restore the charge, arguing it is necessary to prevent individuals who pose "unique dangers to society" from owning guns. Hunter Biden, the son of former President Joe Biden was prosecuted and convicted for violating the same law in 2024. His father later pardoned him. The case involves a man named Ali Hemani, an alleged regular marijuana user who federal authorities...

Why is Trump trying to deploy the National Guard to US cities?

Getty Images National Guard troops deployed in Washington, DC in September stand guard outside Union Station. President Donald Trump's deployment of the National Guard into several US cities has drawn a round of legal challenges by state and local officials. Trump argues the use of federal troops is necessary to quell violence in Democratic-controlled cities, crack down on crime and support his deportation initiatives. But several Democratic governors have pushed back, saying the deployments are unnecessary and risk escalating tensions. Illinois filed a lawsuit on Monday asking a judge to block the deployment of troops to Chicago, while a federal judge on Sunday temporarily blocked the deployment of National Guard members from Texas and California to Portland, Oregon. ...

Trump’s use of National Guard in Los Angeles was illegal, judge rules

A federal judge in California has ruled that the way President Donald Trump deployed the National Guard to Los Angeles this summer was illegal. The ruling comes as Trump seeks to use National Guard troops in order to crack down on crime in other US cities and support immigration enforcement. US District Judge Charles Breyer said Trump violated the Posse Comitatus Act, which limits the power of the federal government to use military force for domestic matters. White House spokeswoman Anna Kelly said that "a rogue judge is trying to usurp the authority of the Commander-in-Chief to protect American cities from violence and destruction". The ruling is on hold until 12 September. The Trump administration will likely appeal against the ruling. "The President is committed to prote...

RFK Jr ‘endangering’ Americans, say former CDC bosses

Nine former leaders of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) have spoken out against Health Secretary Robert F Kennedy Jr, publishing an open letter that criticises his policies - including restricting vaccines, pulling funding for research, and firing thousands of healthcare workers. They also wrote in an open letter that last week's removal of Dr Susan Monarez as CDC director - which was followed by a string of resignations in protest - added fuel to a "raging fire". Kennedy, meanwhile, said on Tuesday that the CDC had strayed from its "core mission". He added that public trust in the organization had been hurt by "bureaucratic inertia, politicized science and mission creep". In their open letter in the New York Times, the former health leaders said the s...
