Trump: U.S. Pulling Personnel from the Middle East Amid Rising Tensions with Iran - Jordan News
On Wednesday, former U.S. President Donald Trump announced that his administration is relocating American personnel from the Middle East due to potential threats in light of ongoing tensions with Iran. Speaking at the Kennedy Center in Washington during a screening of Les Misérables, Trump stated that the region "could be a dangerous place" and reaffirmed his firm stance that Iran must not acquire a nuclear weapon. اضافة اعلان Responding to reports of U.S. diplomatic staff being moved, Trump said: "Well, they're being relocated because it could be a dangerous place." Meanwhile, U.S. Vice President J.D. Vance commented at the Kennedy Center on the state of nuclear negotiations, noting that he is unsure whether Iran truly seeks a nuclear weapon, amid stalled talks between Tehran and Washington over Iran's nuclear program. Trump also addressed trade issues during his remarks. He indicated that he would be open to extending a July 8 deadline for ongoing trade negotiations with various nations to avoid the imposition of higher U.S. tariffs, although he added: "I don't think that will be necessary." He noted that trade talks are ongoing with around 15 countries, including South Korea, Japan, and the European Union. He added that the U.S. would be sending letters in the coming week or two to several other countries outlining the terms of potential trade deals — which those countries could either accept or reject.

Trump: "We Will Liberate Los Angeles" - Jordan News
Former U.S. President Donald Trump defended on Tuesday his decision to deploy forces to Los Angeles, California, as part of immigration-related measures—a move critics have denounced as politically motivated and excessive. اضافة اعلان Speaking to a group of soldiers at Fort Bragg military base in North Carolina, Trump stated: 'Generations of military heroes didn't shed their blood on distant shores just to watch our country be destroyed by invasion and lawlessness like that of the Third World.' He added: 'What you're witnessing in California is a full-scale assault on public peace, order, and national sovereignty, carried out by agitators waving foreign flags.' He continued by declaring that his administration 'will liberate Los Angeles.' Trump's visit to Fort Bragg—which houses around 50,000 active-duty troops—came after his move to deploy 700 Marines and 4,000 National Guard troops to Los Angeles, escalating his response to street protests against his immigration policies. In a related statement, Trump also called on Europe to act 'before it's too late' to counter what he called 'uncontrolled immigration,' referencing the ongoing protests in Los Angeles over his immigration agenda. In his speech at Fort Bragg, Trump said: 'As the world can now see, uncontrolled immigration leads to chaos, disorder, and a breakdown of law. You know what? That's exactly what's happening in Europe too. Many European countries are facing the same thing. They'd better do something about it—before it's too late.'

Macron pushes social media ban for under 15s after fatal school stabbing
French officials are moving quickly to introduce stricter regulations on youth safety after a 14-year-old boy fatally stabbed a school teaching assistant during a routine bag search at a secondary school in Nogent, eastern France. The victim, 31-year-old Mélanie, had been working at the school since September after transitioning from her previous job as a hairdresser. She was a mother to a four-year-old son and served as a local council member in a nearby village, Agence France-Presse (AFP) reported. "She was great with kids," said Laurence Raclot, a friend and community member. 'In a quiet little town, we never would have thought this could happen.' Tributes have poured in, with flowers and heartfelt notes placed outside the school. One message read, 'We share your pain.' Another resident, Sabrina Renault, expressed sorrow for the family, 'It's really sad… for that little boy who's left without his mum.' Authorities have extended the suspect's custody for an additional 24 hours as investigations continue. Officials have released few details about the boy's motive. In response to the tragedy, President Emmanuel Macron announced plans to restrict access to social media for children under 15, arguing that platforms already possess the tools to verify users' ages. 'I am proposing banning social media for children under 15,' Macron wrote on X. 'Platforms have the ability to verify age. Let's do it.' C'est une recommandation des experts de la commission écrans : je porte l'interdiction des réseaux sociaux avant 15 ans. Les plateformes ont la possibilité de vérifier l'âge. Faisons-le. — Emmanuel Macron (@EmmanuelMacron) June 10, 2025 Greece, France, and Spain are jointly backing a broader EU initiative to limit young people's exposure to social platforms, citing growing concerns about mental and physical health impacts. Macron warned that France would proceed independently with the ban if no regional consensus is reached soon. Prime Minister François Bayrou's office also confirmed a forthcoming decree to prohibit knife sales to minors within the next two weeks. Speaking on TF1, Bayrou said the ban would take effect 'immediately' and cover 'any knife that can be used as a weapon.' Bayrou also urged parents and educators to be alert to signs of distress in adolescents, while acknowledging a national shortage of psychological support staff. He has suggested launching a pilot program for metal detectors in schools. Education Minister Elisabeth Borne announced that schools across France will observe a minute of silence on Thursday in honor of Mélanie. 'The entire educational community is in shock, as is the whole nation,' Borne said in a radio interview. While officials are calling for swift reforms, some educators and unions have raised concerns. Sophie Venetitay, head of the SNES-FSU teachers' union, cautioned against shifting educational staff into security roles. 'Little by little, we have seen attempts to turn them into security guards,' she said.
