Trump Revokes Kamala Harris’ Secret Service Protection

President Donald Trump has revoked the Secret Service protection that had been arranged for former Vice President Kamala Harris by Joe Biden before leaving office, according to her advisers. By law, former vice presidents are entitled to six months of protection after leaving office. Harris’ coverage, which should have expired in July, had been quietly extended for another year through an executive directive signed by Biden. But a memo signed by Trump on Thursday, seen by the BBC, ordered that protection be discontinued starting September 1. The timing coincides with Harris’ upcoming national book tour to promote 107 Days, a memoir recounting her short-lived 2024 presidential campaign. A senior White House official confirmed the directive, while sources told CBS that a recent threat assessment did not find any compelling reason to extend Harris’ security detail beyond what is legally mandated.

Fed’s Lisa Cook Battles Trump’s Firing Attempt

Federal Reserve Governor Lisa Cook will head to federal court on Friday to seek an emergency temporary restraining order to block her removal by President Donald Trump. The move comes as part of a legal battle over the president’s attempt to fire her from the Federal Reserve Board of Governors. Trump announced Cook’s removal in a letter posted on his Truth Social account earlier this week, alleging mortgage fraud. The announcement escalates his long-running feud with the Fed, an institution that has historically operated independently of the White House. In response, Cook filed a lawsuit challenging the dismissal, asking the court to declare Trump’s firing order “unlawful and void.” The case could have significant implications for the autonomy of the US central bank. Democrats have sharply criticized Trump’s action, describing it as an unprecedented level of political interference in the […]

US Ends Duty-Free Imports Under $800

The United States has officially ended its long-standing tariff exemption for low-cost imports, a move expected to reshape global trade and hit small businesses particularly hard. Starting Friday, goods valued at $800 (£592) or less will no longer qualify for duty-free entry and will instead face stricter customs checks. This decision brings an end to the widely used de minimis exemption, which has allowed millions of packages to enter the country without tariffs. According to US Customs, nearly 1.4 billion packages worth over $64 billion entered the US last year under this rule. The policy change, championed by President Donald Trump, aims to strengthen domestic industry and reduce reliance on cheap imports—but it is likely to come at a cost for consumers and entrepreneurs. Industry experts warn that shoppers should expect higher prices and fewer product options, especially in the […]

Thai Court Removes PM Paetongtarn Shinawatra

Thailand has been thrown into fresh political turmoil after the Constitutional Court removed Prime Minister Paetongtarn Shinawatra from office, dealing a significant blow to the country’s most powerful political dynasty. The 39-year-old leader was dismissed for violating ethical standards following a leaked June phone call with Cambodia’s former leader Hun Sen. In the recording, Paetongtarn referred to Hun Sen as “uncle” and criticised the Thai army, at a time of escalating border tensions between the two countries. The call, which was leaked by Hun Sen himself, sparked outrage and raised questions about her loyalty. Critics accused her of undermining Thailand’s national security, while the court ruled that her remarks created doubt about whether her actions benefited Cambodia more than Thailand’s interests. In its verdict, six of the nine judges voted to remove her from office, making her the fifth Thai […]

Forum Urges Investment in Local Engineers for Ghana’s Future

A gathering of engineers, public officials, and development stakeholders has emphasized the urgent need to strengthen local engineering capacity as the foundation for building sustainable infrastructure in Ghana. The forum, held under the theme Equipping the Engineering Department of the Local Government Service for Sustainable Infrastructure Development, addressed challenges and solutions to empower engineers serving in local assemblies.
