White House to pay migrants $1500 to leave US
Washington DC | Pushing forward with its mass deportation agenda, President Donald Trump's administration said Monday that it would pay $US1000 ($1545) to immigrants who are in the United States illegally and return to their home country voluntarily.
The Department of Homeland Security said in a news release that it would also pay for travel assistance — and that people who use an app called CBP Home to tell the government they plan to return home will be 'deprioritised' for detention and removal by immigration enforcement.

G7 Summit will be a test of Albanese's diplomatic skill
Donald Trump has thrown another curveball at the US-Australia alliance by launching a Pentagon review of the $368 billion AUKUS trilateral defence pact to determine whether it serves America's national economic and security interests. It's reasonable to question the motives behind the probe. Trump's 'America First Agenda' has already sparked a tariff war and destabilised the international rules-based order. Meanwhile, the president's transactional diplomacy, such as threatening to withdraw US troops from Ukraine and questioning the relevance of longstanding defence alliances, has cast a cloud over America's reliability as a credible security partner.
