Trump Mobile plan revealed: Here's how much it will cost subscribers for unlimited talk, text, and data
In a bold extension of its brand portfolio, the Trump Organization on Monday officially announced the launch of its new wireless service, Trump Mobile , alongside a branded smartphone priced at $499. The service is expected to go live in September 2025 and has already generated buzz through its political branding and pricing strategy.
The move, anchored on a monthly subscription model titled 'The 47 Plan' , marks yet another instance of the Trump business empire tying commercial ventures to the political identity of U.S. President Donald Trump , who is currently serving his second term as the 47th President of the United States.
According to trumpmobile.com , the new mobile service will cost subscribers $47.45 per month and will include unlimited talk, text, and data , alongside additional features such as roadside assistance and a Telehealth and Pharmacy Benefit . The monthly rate and plan name are direct references to Trump's position as the 45th and now 47th U.S. President.
Trump Mobile claims to provide network coverage equivalent to the nation's three largest wireless carriers — Verizon, AT&T, and T-Mobile — though representatives declined to specify which backend carrier powers the network, as mentioned in a report by NBC. The website further states that the service will offer U.S.-based customer support. However, when contacted, a customer service agent declined to reveal the exact location of the call center, citing 'security reasons.'
Alongside the telecom plan, the Trump Organization announced the introduction of the Trump Phone , officially named the T1 . Priced at $499, the Android-based device reportedly comes with Android 15 OS , a 6.8-inch AMOLED screen , a 16-megapixel front camera , a 50-megapixel rear camera , 12GB of RAM , and 256GB of storage . The smartphone features a gold-colored metal frame etched with the American flag and branded slogans like 'Make America Great Again.' Much like other Trump-branded merchandise — including Trump Bibles, sneakers, and wristwatches — the Trump Mobile venture operates under a licensing agreement . The fine print on the official website notes that neither the mobile service nor the smartphone is developed, manufactured, or sold directly by the Trump Organization or its affiliates.This model has drawn scrutiny from ethics watchdogs due to potential conflicts of interest, especially given President Trump's dual role as a business magnate and head of state. Notably, President Trump reported earnings exceeding $8 million in 2024 from various licensing arrangements.While Trump Mobile's plan price point positions it at a premium, it appears costlier than several existing competitors. For instance, Visible by Verizon offers a similar unlimited plan at $25/month, and Mint Mobile has a comparable plan priced at $30/month over a 12-month term.
As of Monday, the country's top wireless providers had not issued any public statements regarding the entry of Trumpmobile into the telecom space. With this strategic brand extension, the Trump Organization continues its trend of leveraging political capital into commercial ventures, setting the stage for what could be a high-profile addition to the U.S. mobile market.Trump Mobile is a new wireless service announced by the Trump Organization on Monday.

How America's new plan to cut China's supply chain for Apple, Google, Samsung and other technology companies has worried Vietnam
The United States reportedly has another plan to cut China's hardware and components supply chain of Apple, Google, Samsung, Meta and other technology companies. According to a report in Reuters, America is urging Vietnam to reduce Chinese technology in devices assembled in the country and exported to America. Vietnam, a hub for tech giants like Apple and Samsung, relies heavily on Chinese components, with Meta and Google also producing goods like VR headsets and smartphones there. Vietnam has held meetings with local businesses to increase the use of Vietnamese parts, with firms expressing willingness but noting the need for time and technology, one source told Reuters. Trump Tariffs: 46% tariff threat and ... The Trump administration has threatened 46% tariffs, which could disrupt Vietnam's export-driven economy. One source said that Vietnam was asked to "reduce its dependency on Chinese high-tech" to restructure supply chains and lessen US reliance on Chinese components. Another source highlighted the US goal of accelerating decoupling from Chinese tech while boosting Vietnam's industrial capacity, citing VR devices as an example. With a US-imposed tariff deadline of July 8 looming, the scope and timing of a potential deal reportedly remain uncertain. Sources emphasized that reducing Chinese high-tech content in exports is a US priority. Last year, China exported $44 billion in tech goods to Vietnam, 30% of its total exports there, while Vietnam shipped $33 billion in tech goods to the US, per Vietnam's customs data. The US also wants Vietnam to address Chinese goods mislabeled as "Made in Vietnam" to evade higher duties. Vietnam's trade ministry noted progress in recent Washington talks but said key issues remain unresolved. What is Vietnam's big worry Vietnam's Communist Party chief, To Lam, may meet President Trump in late June, though no date is confirmed, sources told Reuters. Local companies have shown willingness to adapt but warned that rapid changes could "destroy business," one source said. Industry experts note that Vietnam's supply chain lags China's by 15–20 years but is progressing in sectors like electronics. Abrupt shifts could strain Vietnam's ties with China, a key investor and also lead to security concerns.

Shocking claims: U.S aid allegedly helped El Salvador's Bukele strike backdoor deals with MS-13 gang members
People have praised El Salvador's President Nayib Bukele for being tough on gang violence. But a new investigation points to a darker truth. Surprising claims suggest that Bukele's government is secretly negotiating with MS-13, potentially using funds from the US, all while presenting a public image of heroism and maintaining law and order. El Salvador leader Nayib Bukele became a close ally of the U.S. president during the early months of the Trump administration, especially after the two struck an agreement to swiftly deport Venezuelan migrants suspected of being Tren de Aragua gang members and imprison them in CECOT, the nation's mega-prison, as per a report by the Latin Times. Did Bukele really strike a deal with MS-13? An investigation by ProPublica found that El Salvador's President Bukele made secret deals with MS-13 to get political support and cut down on murders by using US aid money for other things. The investigation indicates that Bukele may have struck a deal with the MS-13 gang leaders in the early years of his presidency. In an attempt to dismantle the gang's leadership, ProPublica compiled data from a lengthy U.S. investigation of MS-13. Later, the investigation was broadened to examine whether the Bukele government struck a covert agreement with the gang during the first few years of his presidency, as per a report by the Latin Times. Live Events ProPublica claims that Bukele's supporters persecuted Salvadoran law enforcement officials who assisted the task force and prevented the extradition of gang leaders who were suspected by U.S. agents of being witnesses to the negotiations. The report says that extraditions were stopped and money may have been laundered, which hurt Bukele's tough-on-crime image and helped his support for Trump's immigration policies. The new report is released at a time when El Salvador and the United States maintain a close relationship because of the Central American nation's readiness to assist with the anti-immigration rhetoric and policies of the Trump administration. Was U.S. aid misused in the alleged pact? Joint Task Force Vulcan, a multiagency law enforcement team established in 2019 at Trump's request, led the U.S. government's report, as per a report by the Latin Times. As part of the purported agreement to give the gang money and power in return for votes and lower homicide rates, the Bukele government may have also transferred U.S. aid funds to the gang, according to the investigation. Agents created a request in 2021 to examine U.S. bank accounts owned by political figures from El Salvador in order to find proof of money laundering connected to the alleged diversion of U.S. funds. Bukele, along with other high-ranking officials and their family members, was implicated in that scheme, according to the list of names, as per a report by the Latin Times. ALSO READ: New VA policy sparks outrage as doctors may refuse treatment to Democrats and unmarried veterans alike How deep is the U.S. connection? The purported agreement between gang members and the Salvadoran government has a long-standing precedent. In exchange for reducing crime, previous Salvadoran governments had agreed to shorten the sentences of convicted gang leaders and improve prison conditions. But Bukele's government's real agreements with gang members went much further, as they were prepared to renegotiate electoral votes, USAID grants, and gang-inflicted violence. El Salvador agreed to take Venezuelan migrants who are suspected of being gang members to their maximum security prison as part of an extraordinary agreement that President Trump and President Bukele recently celebrated, as per a report by the Latin Times. FAQs What is Bukele accused of doing with US aid? He's accused of using it to facilitate backdoor deals with MS-13 for political gain. How is the United States connected to this scandal? Aid funds may have been directed to gangs, and Trump administration officials collaborated closely with Bukele on immigration and security plans.

Iran urges Trump to make Israel halt war; Netanyahu hails 'path to victory'
Iran called on U.S. President Donald Trump on Monday to force Israel to cease fire as the only way to end the four-day-old aerial war, while Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said his country was on the "path to victory". Israeli forces stepped up their bombardment of Iranian cities, while Iran proved capable of piercing Israeli air defences with one of its most successful volleys yet of retaliatory missile strikes. "If President Trump is genuine about diplomacy and interested in stopping this war, next steps are consequential," Iran's Foreign Minister Abbas Araqchi said on X. "Israel must halt its aggression, and absent a total cessation of military aggression against us, our responses will continue. It takes one phone call from Washington to muzzle someone like Netanyahu. That may pave the way for a return to diplomacy." Sources told Reuters that Tehran had asked Qatar, Saudi Arabia and Oman to press Trump to use his influence on Israel to agree to an immediate ceasefire. In return, Iran would show flexibility in nuclear negotiations, said the two Iranian and three regional sources. Netanyahu told Israeli troops at an air base that Israel was on its way to achieving its two main aims: wiping out Iran's nuclear programme and destroying its missiles. "We are on the path to victory," he said. "We are telling the citizens of Tehran: ''Evacuate' and we are taking action." 'DESPERATE' Israel launched its air war on Friday with a surprise attack that killed nearly the entire top echelon of Iran's military commanders and its leading nuclear scientists. It has said it now has control of Iranian airspace and intends to escalate its campaign in coming days. Tehran's retaliation is the first time in decades of shadow war and proxy conflict that missiles fired from Iran have pierced Israeli defences in significant numbers and killed Israelis in their homes. Iran says more than 224 Iranians have been killed, most of them civilians. Media published images of wounded children, women, and the elderly from cities across the country. State TV broadcast scenes of collapsed presidential buildings, burned-out cars, and shattered streets in Tehran. Many residents were trying to flee the capital, describing queues for petrol and bank machines that were out of cash. "I am desperate. My two children are scared and cannot sleep at night because of the sound of air defence and attacks, explosions. But we have nowhere to go. We hid under our dining table," Gholamreza Mohammadi, 48, a civil servant, told Reuters by phone from Tehran. In Israel, 24 people have been killed so far in Iran's missile attacks, all of them civilians. Round the clock television images showed rescuers working in ruins of flattened homes. "It's terrifying because it's so unknown," said Guydo Tetelbaum, 31, a chef in Tel Aviv who was in his apartment when the alerts came in shortly after 4 a.m. (0100 GMT). He had tried to reach a shelter but his door was blown in. "This could be the beginning of a long time like this. Or it could get worse, or hopefully better, but it's the unknown that's the scariest." Trump has consistently said that the Israeli assault could end quickly if Iran agrees to U.S. demands that it accept strict curbs to its nuclear programme. Talks between the United States and Iran, hosted by Oman, had been scheduled for Sunday but were scrapped, with Tehran saying it could not negotiate while under attack. On Monday, Iranian lawmakers floated the idea of quitting the nuclear non-proliferation treaty, a move bound to be seen as a setback for any negotiations. 'TEHRAN WILL PAY THE PRICE' Before dawn on Monday, Iranian missiles struck Tel Aviv and Haifa, killing at least eight people and destroying homes. Israeli authorities said a total of seven missiles fired overnight had landed in Israel. At least 100 people were wounded. Iran's Revolutionary Guards said the latest attack employed a new method that caused Israel's multi-layered defence systems to target each other so missiles could get through. "The arrogant dictator of Tehran has become a cowardly murderer who targets the civilian home front in Israel to deter the IDF," Israeli Defence Minister Israel Katz said. "The residents of Tehran will pay the price, and soon." Global oil prices had shot up on Friday at the prospect of conflict disrupting supplies from the Gulf. Prices eased somewhat on Monday, suggesting traders think exports could be spared despite Israeli attacks that hit domestic Iranian oil and gas targets. Still, the sudden killing of so many Iranian military commanders and the apparent loss of control of airspace could prove to the biggest test of the stability of Iran's system of clerical rule since the 1979 Islamic Revolution. Iran's network of regional allies who could once have been expected to rain rockets on Israel - Hamas in Gaza and Hezbollah in Lebanon - have been decimated by Israeli forces since the start of the Gaza war. Netanyahu has said that, while toppling the Iranian government is not Israel's primary aim, it believes that could be the outcome. Iran's currency has lost at least 10 per cent of its value against the U.S. dollar since the start of Israel's attack. Art teacher Arshia, 29, told Reuters that his family was leaving Tehran for the town of Damavand, around 50 km (30 miles) to the east, until the conflict was over. "My parents are scared. Every night there are attacks. No air raid sirens, and no shelters to go to. Why are we paying the price for the Islamic Republic's hostile policies?" said Arshia, who withheld his surname for fear of reprisal from authorities.
