Donald Trump

President Donald Trump delivered a record-breaking nearly 100-minute joint address to Congress, declaring that “the golden age of America has only just begun.” His speech, the longest ever for such an occasion, surpassed Bill Clinton’s 2000 State of the Union, which lasted 1 hour, 28 minutes, and 49 seconds. Republican lawmakers cheered, chanting “Fight! Fight! Fight!” while Democrats swiftly exited the chamber. The American Presidency Project confirmed the historic length, noting it as the longest tracked since 1964. Though not an official State of the Union, the speech marked Trump’s early vision for his presidency just six weeks into office.

Arab leaders arrived in Egypt’s New Administrative Capital on Tuesday (March 4) for an emergency Arab summit on Gaza. Egypt was expected to present a reconstruction plan for Gaza to Arab leaders that would cost $53 billion over five years and avoid resettling Palestinians. This proposal is in contrast to U.S. President Donald Trump's idea of developing a "Middle East Riviera", according to a copy of the plan seen by Reuters. United Nations Secretary-General Antonio Guterres, Syria’s interim President Ahmed al-Sharaa, and Lebanese President Joseph Aoun were among those received by Sisi. Arab leaders were also expected to call for elections in the West Bank and Gaza in one year, according to the draft final communique

U.S. President Donald Trump has paused military aid to Ukraine following a clash with President Volodymyr Zelenskiy, citing a review to ensure it contributes to peace. The White House and Pentagon have not disclosed details on the suspension’s scope or duration. Ukraine has not officially responded, but Prime Minister Denys Shmyhal expressed confidence in maintaining battlefield stability while hoping for continued cooperation with Washington. The decision deepens U.S.-Ukraine tensions as Trump takes a friendlier stance toward Russia. Meanwhile, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov welcomed the aid pause, calling it a step toward peace. Trump hinted at potential U.S. investment in Ukraine’s minerals.

On March 4, the Kremlin commented on the pause in U.S. military aid to Ukraine, suggesting it could contribute to peace, but emphasized that more details were needed regarding President Trump’s decision. This follows a clash between Trump and Ukrainian President Zelenskiy, deepening the rift between the U.S. and Ukraine. Trump, who aims to be remembered as a "peace maker," altered U.S. policy, citing fears of World War Three and claiming that Ukraine had no remaining leverage. Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov cautiously welcomed the possibility of the pause, arguing that halting U.S. arms supplies could prompt Ukraine to seek peace. Russia has controlled parts of Ukraine since 2014, with its invasion escalating in 2022. Additionally, Russia stated that any potential normalization of relations with the U.S. would require the lifting of sanctions, a move that could be considered as Trump seeks to restore ties and end the conflict.

Starmer praised Trump's role in making peace in Ukraine possible, while Trump expressed optimism about the progress of his efforts to broker a cessation of violence between Russia and Ukraine. Starmer described the proposed peace deal as “tough and fair” and committed to sending British military forces to support it, including ground troops and aircraft. This meeting came after French President Emmanuel Macron's visit earlier in the week, which showcased contrasting views on the Ukraine conflict, particularly regarding the U.S. push for a quick ceasefire. Starmer is the latest European leader to engage with Trump on the matter of Ukraine's security and peace negotiations.

Remember when billionaire Elon Musk brought his son X Æ A-Xii, whom he calls X, to the Oval Office? From making weird noises to picking his nose, the 4-year-old, who was standing close to the President's Resolute Desk, grabbed headlines. Now, President Donald Trump has replaced the iconic 145-year-old desk with a C&O desk. He has called it a “temporary change.” Donald Trump, who has in the past labelled himself as a germaphobe, shared a picture of the Oval Office with the new desk on his social media platform Truth Social. It was not clear if the change was brought in due to the nose-picking incident. The note attached to the post read, “A President, after the election, gets a choice of 1 in 7 desks. This desk, the “C&O,” which is also very well known and was used by President George H.W. Bush and others, has been temporarily installed in the White House while the Resolute Desk is being lightly refinished—a very important job. This is a beautiful, but temporary replacement!”

Donald Trump has announced new tariffs, including a 25% levy on imported cars, drugs, and chips, with plans to increase the rates later in the year.

US President Donald Trump confirmed that the United States will extradite Tahawwur Rana, a key accused in the 2008 Mumbai terror attacks, to India.

His extradition follows a US Supreme Court ruling on January 21, 2025, rejecting his review petition. The US State Department expressed support for India’s efforts to ensure justice for the attack’s perpetrators. Prime Minister Narendra Modi expressed gratitude to President Trump for expediting the process, allowing Rana to face trial in India. Rana, a Pakistani-origin businessman, was aware of the attack and maintained communication with terrorists, including David Headley, who cooperated against him. He also allegedly had ties with Pakistan's Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI). Rana will now be interrogated by Indian authorities for his role in the attacks, which included the siege of the Taj Mahal Hotel, resulting in over 300 casualties.

Trump announced a 30-day delay on tariffs for Canada and Mexico after securing commitments on border security. Mexico agreed to deploy 10,000 soldiers to curb fentanyl smuggling, while Canada pledged $1.3 billion for border security, including appointing a "fentanyl czar." Markets initially plunged but rebounded after the tariff pause. Meanwhile, a 10% tariff on Chinese imports remains, with Trump warning of increases if fentanyl exports persist. China dismissed US concerns and plans to challenge the tariffs at the WTO. Despite the postponement, Trump signalled further tariff actions may follow, keeping trade tensions high. High-level negotiations continue.

He also addressed Panama, saying the country had agreed on “some things” after his threats over China’s influence on the canal. Trump signed an executive order to create a sovereign wealth fund, suggesting it could purchase TikTok, though details remain unclear. He also defended Elon Musk’s role in shrinking the U.S. government, stating that Musk’s actions are approved and that he “will not be allowed” into conflicts.

His remarks followed Secretary of State Marco Rubio’s meeting with Panama’s President Raúl Mulino, who reaffirmed Panama’s sovereignty while acknowledging U.S. concerns. Mulino announced Panama would exit China’s Belt and Road Initiative and seek U.S. investments. Rubio hinted at U.S. intervention under a 1977 treaty if security threats arise. Meanwhile, Panama is auditing a Chinese-linked port operator. Mulino downplayed military action risks but stressed legal steps would follow the audit’s findings.

President Donald Trump discussed several key issues where he indicated that he would likely decide whether to impose a 25% tariff on oil imports from Mexico and Canada, contingent on the two countries halting fentanyl shipments and migration flows. Trump also outlined plans to expand Guantanamo Bay detention facilities, emphasizing minimal costs due to existing infrastructure. Regarding border security, he proposed redeploying IRS agents hired under the Biden administration to assist Border Patrol and expressed confidence that Egypt and Jordan would cooperate in accepting displaced individuals from Gaza. Trump reaffirmed his offer for over 2 million federal workers to resign with replacements readily available. He also touched on birthright citizenship, expressing belief that the Supreme Court would limit it. Lastly, Trump reiterated the U.S. is not involved in Syria and dismissed speculation about Taiwan independence negotiations with China.

Tulsi Gabbard, President Donald Trump's nominee for Director of National Intelligence, faced bipartisan criticism during her confirmation hearing. Concerns were raised over her past comments sympathetic to Russia, support for Edward Snowden, and opposition to surveillance programs. Gabbard criticized U.S. intelligence failures, vowing to end politicization and protect whistleblowers. Despite her military background, critics questioned her lack of intelligence experience and feared further politicization under Trump’s second term.

Kennedy Jr.’s controversial hearing as Trump’s health agency pick, amid accusations of anti-vaccine views.
