Deep hostility toward Muslims: Iran slams Trump over US travel ban
"The new US sanctions ..., are illegal and violate international law, and are further evidence of the deep and continuing hostility of the US ruling regime towards the Iranian people," foreign ministry spokesperson Esmaeil Baghaei said in a statement carried by state media.Trump's travel ban will bar citizens from 12 countries: Afghanistan, Myanmar, Chad, Congo Republic, Equatorial Guinea, Eritrea, Haiti, Iran, Libya, Somalia, Sudan and Yemen.The ban, which Trump said was necessary to protect against "foreign terrorists", was reminiscent of a similar move he implemented during his first term in office from 2017 to 2021, when he barred travellers from seven Muslim-majority nations.Tune InMust Watch

Trump tariff threats and Cartel crackdown: Mexico extradites 26 drug lords to face US Justice
Mexico sent more than two dozen suspected cartel members to the U.S. on Aug 12, amid rising pressure from President Donald Trump on Mexico to dismantle the country's powerful drug organisations. Authorities shipped 26 prisoners wanted in the U.S. for ties to drug-trafficking groups. Mexico said the U.S. Department of Justice had requested their extradition and that it would not seek the death penalty for the accused cartel members. The 26 prisoners handed over to American authorities included figures aligned with the Jalisco New Generation Cartel and the Sinaloa Cartel, among others. It comes months after 29 other cartel leaders were sent to the U.S. in February.
