JD Vance on Perpetual Holiday? His Latest Britain Trip Stirs Protests Firstpost America
US Vice President JD Vance is on a working visit to Britain, combining official meetings with leisure activities. He began his trip at the Chevening estate in Kent with British Foreign Minister David Lammy, where the two held a bilateral meeting and went fishing. Vance later travelled to the Cotswolds village of Dean, where local protesters staged a 'Not Welcome Party' in nearby Charlbury, voicing opposition to his politics. His visit includes planned meetings with Conservative politician Robert Jenrick and Reform UK leader Nigel Farage. This trip follows several others in recent months, including skiing in Vermont, a family vacation to Disneyland, and canoeing in Ohio, making it part of a broader travel schedule that has drawn public attention.

'Out Of Control': Donald Trump Says US Museums Focus Too Much On 'How Bad Slavery Was'
Donald Trump criticized US museums for focusing on negative history, like slavery. US President Donald Trump accused American museums of focusing disproportionately on the darker chapters of the nation's past- including 'how bad slavery was." In a post on his Truth Social platform, Donald Trump said he had instructed his attorneys to review the country's museums, comparing the move to his ongoing crackdown on universities. 'The Smithsonian is OUT OF CONTROL, where everything discussed is how horrible our Country is, how bad Slavery was, and how unaccomplished the downtrodden have been- Nothing about Success, nothing about Brightness, nothing about the Future," Donald Trump wrote. Donald Trump's comments follow last week's White House announcement of an extensive review of the Smithsonian Institution, which oversees many of the nation's most prominent museums. In a letter to Smithsonian Secretary Lonnie Bunch III, three senior aides to the president wrote that the initiative 'aims to ensure alignment with the US President's directive to celebrate American exceptionalism, remove divisive or partisan narratives and restore confidence in our shared cultural institutions." Museum scholars have raised concerns about the plan as Janet Marstine, a museum ethics expert, warned that the administration's demands 'set the Smithsonian up for failure," calling them unrealistic given the breadth of materials requested. The White House has asked the institution to produce everything from internal emails and memos to digital copies of all gallery placards currently on display. Earlier this year, Donald Trump issued an executive order assigning Vice President JD Vance- who sits on the Smithsonian's Board of Regents- to oversee efforts to halt federal funding for exhibits deemed out of step with the administration's agenda. The US President's latest stance marks a sharp departure from his first term, when he praised the Smithsonian's National Museum of African American History and Culture during a 2017 visit. At the time, Donald Trump said he was 'deeply proud" of a museum that honored 'the millions of African American men and women who built our national heritage." Founded in the 1840s with funds from British scientist James Smithson's estate, the Smithsonian is a federally supported trust but not an executive branch agency. view comments First Published: Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's.

‘Don't Take On Nation 10 Times Your Size': Trump 'BACKS' Putin, Accuses Ukraine Of Fighting Russia
Ukraine Betrayed? UK's Shocking Advice To Zelensky On Land Swap With Russia | Watch A storm of controversy erupted after British Ambassador Peter Mandelson urged the West to push President Volodymyr Zelensky towards flexibility in peace talks with Russia. He suggested that Ukraine would need cast-iron security guarantees if Zelensky made painful concessions such as land swaps. His comments came just after Zelensky admitted in Washington that such swaps were discussed during his meeting with Donald Trump. Trump meanwhile dismissed the need for an immediate ceasefire and hinted at a trilateral summit with Putin and Zelensky. While diplomats call compromise the only way to peace, Ukrainians fear betrayal and Moscow demands an end to Western arms supplies.#UkraineRussiaWar #Zelensky #Trump #Putin #PeaceTalks #BreakingNews #Geopolitics #Mandelson #Ukraine #Russia 5.8K views | 11 hours ago
