Trump launches $499 Trump Mobile Smartphone with $47 monthly plan
In a bold move to appeal to conservative American consumers, the Trump Organization has launched an all-new American-made smartphone, Trump Mobile, priced at $499. Announced on Monday, June 16, 2025, the smartphone will be manufactured and supported entirely in the United States.
'Trump Mobile is going to change the game. We're building on the movement to put America first,' said Donald Trump Jr. during the official launch, adding that the device and its support services are proudly based in the U.S.
The initiative is seen as an attempt to create a patriotic alternative to foreign-made smartphones, aiming to tap into the estimated 60 million smartphones sold annually in the U.S., most of which are currently manufactured in China, India, Vietnam, or South Korea.
Subscription Plan – 'The 47 Plan'
Trump Mobile offers a wireless service plan known as the '47 Plan,' named after Trump's aspiration to become the 47th President. At a monthly cost of $47.45, it includes:
Unlimited calls, texts, and data (first 20GB at high speed)
International calling to over 100 countries
No credit checks
No contract with the freedom to cancel anytime
SIM support for BYOD (bring your own device)
Additionally, customers will get Roadside Assistance through Drive America as part of their mobile benefits.
Coming Soon – The T1 Gold Phone
The Trump Organization also announced the upcoming T1 Phone, a gold-colored, high-performance smartphone built entirely in the U.S. Slated for an August release, the T1 is being marketed as a premium option for users who want top-tier design and functionality with an American touch.
While building smartphones domestically poses challenges—like higher labor costs and complex supply chains—the Trump Organization hopes this launch will usher in a new era of U.S.-based telecom products.

Student visas to the US in 2025: What has shifted and what does it mean for applicants
Thousands of international students, including a large number from India , are facing uncertainty as the United States continues a month-long suspension of new student visa interviews . This suspension, which affects F (student), M (vocational), and J (exchange) visa categories, has now entered its fourth week with no official announcement on when services will resume. The delay comes at a critical time for students hoping to begin classes in the fall 2025 academic session, leading to widespread concern among applicants, families, and university officials alike. Policy shifts under Trump administration The freeze on visa appointments is part of a broader tightening of US immigration policy under the current administration. The United States has also introduced a travel ban for nationals of six countries-such as Nigeria and Sudan—restricting entry for students who do not already possess a valid visa as of June 9. According to a report by the Times of India, meanwhile, even for students from countries not directly impacted by the ban, the overall visa process has become more complex. Heightened background checks and expanded scrutiny of academic interests, particularly in sensitive subjects, have become routine. Students are also required to submit extensive documentation, including social media handles, financial records, and academic histories.

Many students, who had received offer letters and were preparing for pre-departure steps, now find themselves stuck without visa appointments. Several visa consultants and education counselors have advised students to defer their admissions to the spring 2026 session or to explore alternative destinations such as Canada, Germany, or Australia, where visa processing is comparatively smoother. Some Indian families have begun reassessing their investment in US education altogether, given the unpredictable policy shifts and extended delays. Live Events You Might Also Like: US introduces new visa restrictions for government officials facilitating illegal immigration US universities are closely monitoring the situation. Institutions with significant international student populations have started planning alternatives such as deferred enrollment, remote classes for the first semester, or enhanced support services for affected students. However, for many students, the uncertainty around when interviews might reopen makes it difficult to plan ahead. Applicants are currently advised to regularly check embassy websites for updates and to maintain their paperwork and documentation in order to act quickly if appointments resume. As the fall semester approaches, the window for obtaining a US student visa continues to narrow. The delays reflect a wider shift in US immigration policy, where enforcement and security concerns are increasingly prioritized over accessibility for international students. For now, thousands of aspiring students are left in limbo, uncertain if their academic journeys to the United States will begin as planned.

Banks pull Australian shares lower; investors weigh Middle East risks
Investors closely watch Israel-Iran conflict Banks down on profit taking Fed decision due on Wednesday June 17 (Reuters) - Australian shares inched lower on Tuesday, with weakness in the heavyweight financial sector outweighing gains in technology and gold stocks, while investors remained wary as Israel and Iran attacked each other for a fifth straight day. The S&P/ASX 200 index ended 0.1% lower at 8,541.30 after settling flat in the previous session. Iran urged allies to press U.S. President Donald Trump for an Israeli ceasefire, raising hopes of a de-escalation, Reuters reported on Monday. However, Trump's abrupt G7 exit and call to evacuate Tehran fuelled fears of an escalation. "We are getting some mixed signals about whether things are escalating or de-escalating between Israel and Iran, which is leading to hesitancy from traders on the ASX today," said Tim Waterer, chief market analyst at KCM Trade. Heavyweight financial stocks fell 0.3%, with the country's 'big four' banks slipping between 0.3% and 0.7%. Waterer said that investors seem comfortable taking profits after a strong rally in financial stocks. Gold stocks gained 1% as bullion's safe-haven demand was boosted by heightened geopolitical uncertainty. Technology stocks were up 0.2%, tracking gains in Wall Street peers overnight, with sector majors Xero and WiseTech Global rising 0.4% and 0.5%, respectively. Uranium stocks surged, extending gains from Monday, with miners Boss Energy and Deep Yellow advancing as much as 7% and 10%, respectively, to hit their highest levels since June last year. Tony Sycamore, a market analyst at IG Australia, attributed the gains to the news that Sprott Physical Uranium Trust, the world's largest fund holding physical uranium, was set to double its capital raising to $200 million to buy more uranium on the spot market. Separately, investors awaited the Federal Reserve's monetary policy decision on Wednesday, where it is expected to hold rates steady. New Zealand's benchmark S&P/NZX 50 index fell 0.4% to finish the session at 12,639.35 points. (Reporting by Adwitiya Srivastava in Bengaluru; Editing by Mrigank Dhaniwala)

'Nothing to do with ceasefire': Trump leaves G7 midway. Is US planning something big in Iran?
U.S. President Donald Trump abruptly departed the G7 summit in Canada a day early, fueling speculation about behind-the-scenes diplomatic moves amid the escalating Israel-Iran conflict. At a group photo with fellow leaders prior to his exit, Trump told reporters: 'I have to be back as soon as I can. I wish I could stay for tomorrow, but they understand — this is big stuff.' The unexpected departure was interpreted by some, including French President Emmanuel Macron , as a possible sign of an impending ceasefire between Israel and Iran. Macron's remark sparked widespread media speculation. However, the White House swiftly dismissed the notion. Trump, in a post on his Truth Social platform, blasted Macron's interpretation. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like War Thunder - Register now for free and play against over 75 Million real Players War Thunder Play Now Undo 'Publicity-seeking President Emmanuel Macron, of France, mistakenly said that I left the G7 Summit, in Canada, to go back to D.C. to work on a 'ceasefire' between Israel and Iran. Wrong!' Trump wrote. 'He has no idea why I am now on my way to Washington, but it certainly has nothing to do with a ceasefire. Much bigger than that. Whether purposely or not, Emmanuel always gets it wrong. Stay tuned!' Live Events Trump's Plan According to a report in the Times of India, Trump may head straight into a National Security Council meeting upon landing in Washington, amid growing speculation that the U.S. could soon join Israel in a pre-emptive strike against Iran's nuclear facilities. According to the report, such an operation would involve the deployment of the Massive Ordnance Penetrator (MOP), also known as the GBU-57 — a 13,600 kg, 20-foot-long bunker-buster bomb capable of penetrating Iran's heavily fortified Fordo nuclear facility . Only B-2 stealth bombers can carry the MOP, a capability Israel lacks. Some military analysts believe multiple MOPs would be required to destroy Fordo, which is buried deep underground. This strategy is seen by hawkish U.S. officials as the only sure way to halt Iran's nuclear ambitions. Anything short of it, they warn, would allow Tehran to continue its pursuit of an atomic bomb. Meanwhile on G7, White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt said, 'Much was accomplished, but because of what's going on in the Middle East, President Trump will be leaving tonight after dinner with Heads of State.' Notably, just before departing, Trump caused further global alarm by posting a chilling warning: 'Everyone should immediately evacuate Tehran.' That statement followed a stark message directed at Iranian leaders: 'Iran should have signed the 'deal' I told them to sign. What a shame, and waste of human life. Simply stated, IRAN CANNOT HAVE A NUCLEAR WEAPON. I said it over and over again!' As tensions surge and speculation mounts over U.S. involvement in a possible military strike, Trump's next move could have consequences far beyond Washington.
