Trump had a heated call with Netanyahu after Israel struck Hamas leaders in Qatar without US warning, angering both Trump and Qatar.

Netanyahu said he had only a brief window for the strike. Trump, frustrated by being blindsided, warned it risked peace efforts and US-Qatar ties.

Despite tensions, Trump still supports Israel's war on Hamas but wants reduced attacks to preserve Israel's global image and US diplomatic goals.

We don’t yet know what motivated the person who shot and killed Charlie Kirk, but this kind of despicable violence has no place in our democracy.

Thank you, Charlie, for your support of Israel and for your struggle for a better world.

Peter Mandelson, now the UK’s ambassador to Washington, is under scrutiny after newly released emails revealed a close friendship with Jeffrey Epstein from 2005–2010, even after Epstein’s sex crimes became public.

Mandelson offered Epstein moral support, strategic advice, and discussed possible political help during his legal troubles, while Epstein later boasted about Mandelson’s influence to JPMorgan executives.

Mandelson has since expressed regret over the relationship, calling it “embarrassing,” as UK lawmakers question his judgment but Prime Minister Keir Starmer defends his role.
