Has Trump really ended eight wars? Fact-checking the president’s claim

If there is anything Donald Trump covets more than anything else, it's the Nobel Peace Prize. The president has repeatedly spoken of how much he deserved it, and raged in public and private at the country of Norway, which he believes is responsible for not giving it to him. At the centre of his claim for the prize is the boast that he has ended eight wars in a year. Reporters raise their hands as President Donald Trump speaks during a press briefing at the White House. (AP) But has he? "The short answer is no. And in fact, the short answer is not even close," Monash University senior lecturer in international relations Ben Zala told nine.com.au. "Two and a half, or, let's be generous and say three, are factually correct." Israel ...

Trump claims Iran has ‘no plans’ for executing protesters as US weighs potential military strikes

US President Donald Trump claims Iran has halted plans for executing detained protesters, but refused to take the idea of military action off the table. Speaking to reporters in the Oval Office, Trump said he had been told Iranian authorities had "no plans" for executions, despite previous announcements from Tehran the first of them would begin today. "No, we're going to watch and see what the process is. But we were given a very good, very good statement by people that are aware of what's going on," Trump said when asked if he'd taken a military strike off the table.

The widening rift between Trump and Europe is a gift to Putin

US President Donald Trump's emissaries to the Kremlin may have been spinning their wheels during talks last week in Moscow on a possible Ukraine peace deal, but the Russians can now press a new advantage: the deepening divisions between Washington and Europe. Overnight, Trump doubled down on his administration's criticism of Europe, saying in a newly published interview with Politico that European nations were "weak" and "decaying" because of their immigration policies. He also argued that Russia had the "upper hand" in its war on Ukraine and that it was time for Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky to "start accepting things" when it comes to efforts to end the conflict. US President Donald Trump is interviewed by Politico about the state of Europe amid the Russia-U...

Netanyahu submits request for pardon during ongoing corruption trial

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has asked the country's president to grant him a pardon from corruption charges — seeking to end a long-running trial that has bitterly divided the nation. Netanyahu, who has been at war against the country's legal system over the charges, said the request would help unify the country at a time of momentous changes in the region. But it immediately triggered denunciations from his opponents, who said it would weaken Israel's democratic institutions and send a dangerous message that he is above the rule of law.

US forces are massing around Venezuela. What’s Trump’s next move?

US naval assets are massing off the coast of Venezuela, while President Donald Trump's administrations boasts about blowing up alleged "drug boats" departing those shores. Trump has hinted at carrying out "land strikes" in Venezuela and the White House earlier this year threatened to place 25 per cent import tariffs on any country that imported Venezuelan oil. What's going on in the South American country and why is Trump so angry about it? A satellite image captured on October 17 shows F-35 fighter jets at José Aponte de la Torre Airport in Puerto Rico.

Trump warns Russia he may send Ukraine long-range Tomahawk missiles if Moscow doesn’t settle war soon

President Donald Trump on Sunday warned Russia that he may send Ukraine long-range Tomahawk missiles if Moscow doesn't settle its war there soon — suggesting that he could be ready to increase the pressure on Vladimir Putin's government using a key weapons system. "I might say, 'Look: if this war is not going to get settled, I'm going to send them Tomahawks," Trump told reporters aboard Air Force One as he flew to Israel. "The Tomahawk is an incredible weapon, very offensive weapon. And honestly, Russia does not need that." In this photo provided by Ukraine's 65th Mechanized Brigade press service, recruits attend drills at a training ground in the Zaporizhzhia region, Ukraine.
