What do Trump’s executive orders say on tariffs and how would they work?

With a trio of executive orders, US President Donald Trump has almost instantly thrown the world economy and his own goal of cutting inflation into turmoil. His tariffs against Canada and Mexico in order to stop illegal immigration and the illicit fentanyl trade led to retaliatory taxes by both countries on US imports. He placed an additional 10 per cent tariff on imports from China with the stated goal of stopping the production of fentanyl. A trade war is looming between the US, Canada, and Mexico. (AP) But on a deeper level, Trump suddenly hit the US economy with tax increases that, if sustained, could total more than US$1 trillion ($1.61 trillion) in 10 years. He did so without congressional approval and by his own acknowledgement at the perilous chance of ...

Marco Rubio says Panama must reduce Chinese influence around the canal or face possible US action

US Secretary of State Marco Rubio told Panamanian President José Raúl Mulino on Sunday that the Central American ally must immediately reduce Chinese influence over the Panama Canal area or face potential retaliation from the Trump administration. Rubio, on his first foreign trip as America's top diplomat, held face-to-face talks with Mulino, who has resisted pressure from the new US government over Panama's management of a waterway that is vital to global trade.

Beyoncé wins elusive album of the year Grammy as Kendrick Lamar cleans up with diss track

Beyoncé has won album of the year for Cowboy Carter at the 2025 Grammys, delivering her — at last — the show's elusive top award. The superstar, who is both the most awarded and nominated artist in Grammys history, has been nominated in the category four times before and many feel she has been snubbed by its top honors. Members of the Los Angeles Fire Department presented Beyoncé with the trophy. "It's been many, many years," Beyoncé said in her speech. "I want to dedicate this to Ms Martell," she said, referencing Linda Martell, the performer who became the first Black woman to play the Grand Ole Opry. "We finally saw it happen, everyone," host Trevor Noah said, nodding to the long overdue achievement for one of music's transcendent artists. Beyoncé acc...

Donald Trump has pulled Anthony Fauci’s security detail, source says

President Donald Trump has terminated Dr. Anthony Fauci's security detail that was being provided and paid for by the National Institutes of Health, a source familiar with the situation tells CNN. It was pulled on Thursday night. Given he continues to face ongoing threats due to his public-facing role during the Covid-19 pandemic, Fauci has now hired his own private security that he'll pay for himself, the source told CNN.

Trump proposes ‘getting rid’ of emergency agency while touring disaster areas

President Donald Trump surveyed disaster zones in California and North Carolina on Friday and said he was considering "getting rid of" the Federal Emergency Management Agency, offering the latest sign of how he is weighing sweeping changes to the nation's central organisation for responding to disasters. In fire-ravaged California, the state's Democratic leaders pressed Trump for federal assistance that he's threatened to hold up, some setting aside their past differences to shower him with praise. Trump, in turn, pressured local officials to waive permitting requirements so people can immediately rebuild, pledging that federal permits would be granted promptly. President Donald Trump and first lady Melania Trump walk with Jason Hing, chief deputy of emergency services...
