Paris Hilton mocks Trump's look in Cannes interview
Paris Hilton has taken a dig at Donald Trump, nearly a decade after falsely claiming to have voted for him.
The hotel heiress, 44, was questioned about her relationship with the businessman-turned-president during an interview with Louis Theroux in Cannes on Monday.
'I only knew him when I was a teenager in New York, that was a long time ago,' she said.

Hilton responded with a swift dig at Trump's famously over-tanned skin.
'He could probably use a new spray tanner,' she said.
In 2016, Hilton faced public criticism for her appearance on Australian show The Project, telling panellists she voted for Trump.
'I've known him since I was a little girl so yes I did,' she said at the time.
In her 2023 book Paris: The Memoir , however, she explained she had lied about voting for Trump.
'When I was put on the spot in an interview, I pretended I voted for Donald Trump because he was an old family friend and owned the first modelling agency I signed with,' she wrote.
'When I left to go to another agency, he was furious and intimidated the s*** out of me on the phone. The truth is even worse. I didn't vote at all.'
The Hilton family and Donald Trump have had a close relationship for decades, with Trump's daughter Ivanka being longtime childhood friends with Hilton.
Trump faced criticism during his 2016 election campaign, when a resurfaced 2003 interview featured him saying he found 12-year-old Hilton attractive.
'The first time I saw her, she walked into the room. I said, 'Who the hell is that?'

Trump seeks 'real end' to nuclear problem with Iran
US President Donald Trump said he wanted a "real end" to the nuclear problem with Iran and indicated he may send senior American officials to meet with the Islamic Republic as the Israel-Iran air war raged for a fifth straight day. He made the comments during his midnight departure from Canada, where he attended the Group of Seven nations summit on Monday, according to comments posted by a CBS News reporter on social media platform X. Trump predicted that Israel would not be easing its attacks on Iran. "You're going to find out over the next two days. You're going to find out. Nobody's slowed up so far," the CBS journalist quoted Trump as saying on Air Force One. He said "I may", on the prospect of sending US Middle East Envoy Steve Witkoff or Vice President JD Vance to meet with Iran. Washington has said Trump was still aiming for a nuclear deal with Iran, even as the military confrontation unfolds. World leaders meeting at the Group of Seven summit called for a de-escalation of the worst-ever conflict between the regional foes, saying Iran was a source of instability and must never have a nuclear weapon while affirming Israel's right to defend itself. Trump, who left the summit early due to the Middle East situation, said his departure had "nothing to do with" working on a deal between Israel and Iran after French President Emmanuel Macron said the US had initiated a ceasefire proposal. "Wrong! He has no idea why I am now on my way to Washington, but it certainly has nothing to do with a Cease Fire. Much bigger than that," Trump wrote on his Truth Social platform late on Monday. Israel launched its air war with a surprise attack that has killed nearly the entire top echelon of Iran's military commanders and its leading nuclear scientists. It says it now has control of Iranian airspace and intends to escalate the campaign in the coming days. Trump has consistently said the Israeli assault could end quickly if Iran agreed to US demands that it accept strict curbs on its nuclear program. "Simply stated, IRAN CAN NOT HAVE A NUCLEAR WEAPON. I said it over and over again! Everyone should immediately evacuate Tehran!" Trump said on Monday. Iran's Revolutionary Guards said on Tuesday that a "more powerful" new wave of missiles was recently launched towards Israel, the state news agency reported. A senior Iranian army commander said a new wave of drones would hit Israel. Three people were killed and four injured in Iran's central city of Kashan in an Israeli attack, Iran's Nournews reported on Tuesday. Iranian media also reported explosions and heavy air defence fire in Tehran early on Tuesday, with smoke rising in the city's east after an explosion of suspected Israeli projectiles. Air defences were activated also in Natanz, home to key nuclear installations 320km away, the Asriran news website reported. Israel's military said on Tuesday that it killed Iran's wartime chief of staff. Israel also said it carried out extensive strikes on Iranian military targets including weapons storage sites and missile launchers. Iranian officials have reported 224 deaths, mostly civilians, while Israel said 24 civilians had been killed. Israeli Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich said nearly 3000 Israelis had been evacuated due to damage from Iranian strikes. Sources told Reuters that Tehran had asked Oman, Qatar and Saudi Arabia to urge Trump to pressure Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to agree to an immediate ceasefire. In return, Iran would show flexibility in nuclear negotiations, according to two Iranian and three regional sources. "If President Trump is genuine about diplomacy and interested in stopping this war, next steps are consequential," Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araqchi said on X.

'Going to be wiped out': US President Donald Trumps seeks 'better than a ceasefire' after G7 summit as Israel-Iran war continues to escalate
United States President Donald Trump has announced he is looking for a "real end" to the Israel-Iran conflict instead of a ceasefire as the the war in the Middle East continues to escalate. The President left the G7 summit in Canada a day early to address the escalating conflict, with French President Emmanuel Macron suggesting President Trump abruptly left to work on a ceasefire offer. However, the US leader shut down President Macron's claims on Tuesday, saying his French counterpart had "no idea" why he was returning to Washington and that the matter was "much bigger" than a ceasefire. "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 'cease fire' between Israel and Iran. Wrong!" President Trump posted on social media. "He has no idea why I am now on my way to Washington, but it certainly has nothing to do with a Cease Fire. Much bigger than that. Whether purposely or not, Emmanuel always gets it wrong. Stay Tuned!" President Trump reiterated to reporters he is seeking a "real end" to Iran's nuclear program and not just a ceasefire. Asked whether US weapons could be employed to wipe out Iran's nuclear facilities, President Trump said: "I hope their program is going to be wiped out long before then". "They're not going to have a nuclear weapon." He also told reporters he had not reached out to Iran for "peace talks" in any way, shape or form and if the country wanted to talk, they knew how to reach him. Iran 'should have taken the deal that was on the table', President Trump said in a post on his Truth Social platform. 'This is just more HIGHLY FABRICATED, FAKE NEWS! If they want to talk, they know how to reach me.' The leaders of Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, the United Kingdom, and the US have released a statement calling for 'de-escalation' of hostilities in the Middle East. 'We, the leaders of the G7, reiterate our commitment to peace and stability in the Middle East. In this context, we affirm that Israel has a right to defend itself. We reiterate our support for the security of Israel. We also affirm the importance of the protection of civilians,' the statement said. 'Iran is the principal source of regional instability and terror. We have been consistently clear that Iran can never have a nuclear weapon. 'We urge that the resolution of the Iranian crisis leads to a broader de-escalation of hostilities in the Middle East, including a ceasefire in Gaza. US officials had earlier indicated President Trump intended not to sign up to the statement, although he later signed on. Earlier the US President urged Iranian residents to flee the capital as retaliatory attacks continue to escalate. US Middle East envoy Steve Witkoff and vice-president JD Vance may meet with Iranian officials this week to discuss the conflict.

G7 'useless', kicking out Russia was a mistake: Kremlin
The Kremlin says that US President Donald Trump was right to assert that it had been a big mistake to expel Russia from the Group of Eight in 2014, but that the G7 was no longer significant for Russia and looked "rather useless" now. Trump said at a Group of Seven summit in Canada on Monday that the G8 had been wrong to kick out Russia in 2014 after it annexed Crimea from Ukraine. "This was a big mistake," Trump said, adding he believed Russia would not have invaded Ukraine in 2022 had President Vladimir Putin not been ejected from the leaders' club. He said Putin "basically doesn't even speak to the people that threw him out, and I agree with him". Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov told reporters: "We agree with President Trump: it was a big mistake then to exclude Russia from the G8 format." He said the G7 had "lost practical significance" for Russia, given the state of world affairs. "Given the declining share of the G7 countries in the global economy, given all the trends that are observed in the G7 countries and, of course, against the background of, for example, such formats as the G20, the G7 looks dull and rather useless," Peskov said.
