Iran Launches Forbidden Cluster Bombs at Israel for the First Time
News • 6 days ago How Trump Pocketed Over $600 Million from Crypto, Watches, and Other Assets
He's bold, he's back—and he's banking big. In 2024 alone, U.S. President Donald Trump reportedly earned over $600 million, not just from politics, but from a sprawling empire of crypto, golf, luxury goods, and now, mobile phones. Newly released federal financial disclosures reveal Trump made $57M from crypto token sales, with the meme coin $TRUMP generating $320M in fees. His Florida golf courses raked in over $139M, while World Liberty Financial, a DeFi company, brought in $400M+. But he's not stopping there. Teaming up with his sons, Trump is entering the telecom game with Trump Mobile—a new wireless service and phone brand. Their flagship device, T1 Mobile, is a gold-toned smartphone priced at $499, complete with a "47 Plan" that nods to Trump's presidential journey.

Trump Claps Back At Putin's Iran Ceasefire Offer: ‘No Thanks, Help With Ukraine First'
US President Donald Trump said that he bluntly rejected an offer from Vladimir Putin to help mediate the conflict between Iran and Israel as he told the Russian President that what the world needs is for Moscow to end its war in Ukraine. Donald Trump said that Vladimir Putin asked him, 'Can I help you with Iran?" Firing back, Donald Trump told the Russian President, 'No. I don't need help with Iran. I need help with you." The US President- who has touted ceasefire in Western Asia as a major diplomatic victory- made it clear that he doesn't want Russia involved in the Iran-Israel standoff as he pressed Vladimir Putin to focus on ending Moscow's grinding war in Ukraine.

No Suit In White House, Zelensky Goes Formal For Latest Trump Meet
KYIV: Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has returned his wardrobe since a disastrous Oval Office meeting with Donald Trump in February, switching his typical khaki military-style tee-shirts and long-sleeved tops for more formal, but still rugged, black suit-style jackets and shirts. The media-savvy leader had wanted to show solidarity with the troops fighting Russia on the frontline. But he was chided by a US reporter for not wearing a suit at the White House event, which descended into a shouting match over whether he was showing sufficient gratitude for U.S. wartime support. Since then, Zelensky has worked to rebuild relations with Washington, whose military help Kyiv still badly needs, even though the U.S. president has shown no sign of resuming the donations of weaponry that his predecessor Joe Biden, had instituted. When Zelenski met Trump at Pope Francis's funeral in Rome in April, he wore a heavy black field jacket and black shirt buttoned to the collar, with no tie. He sported a similar look when meeting British Prime Minister Keir Starmer in London on Monday, and again at the dinner hosted on Tuesday by the Dutch king that preceded Wednesday's NATO summit in The Hague. Although he was not invited to the meeting itself, he met with Trump afterwards, with an agenda including a wish-list of arms purchases. The subtle switch, stopping short of a white shirt or tie, has captured attention on social media and from the Ukrainian edition of ELLE magazine, which on Wednesday described his changed look as "visual diplomacy of a new kind". The negative focus on Zelenskiy's attire at the White House was widely criticised by Ukrainians, who have largely rallied around their leader since Moscow's February 2022 invasion. A communications adviser for the president's office did not immediately respond to a Reuters request for comment.
