Trump to rename Department of Defense as Department of War

US President Donald Trump is set to sign an executive order on Friday that will temporarily rename the Department of Defense as the Department of War, reviving a title last used more than seven decades ago. The text of the order, reviewed by the BBC, states that the purpose of the change is to “project strength and resolve.” According to the document, the new designation will initially serve as a secondary title while the administration works with Congress to secure approval for a permanent rebranding. Until then, official documents, communications, and branding will carry both names. The potential cost of such a sweeping rebrand remains unclear. The White House has not released estimates, but US media reports suggest the overhaul could cost taxpayers billions of dollars. The change would involve redesigning hundreds of agency seals and emblems, updating email systems, […]

US immigration raid at Hyundai Georgia plant leads to 450 arrests

US immigration authorities carried out a sweeping raid at Hyundai’s massive manufacturing site in Georgia, arresting more than 450 people in what officials described as one of the largest operations of its kind in recent years. The facility, a 3,000-acre complex built by the South Korean automaker to produce electric vehicles, has been operational for only a year. According to the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), agents executed a search warrant based on allegations of unlawful employment practices and other serious federal crimes. The raid involved several agencies, including Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF). The South Korean foreign ministry confirmed that Korean nationals were among those detained, calling the arrests an “unjust infringement” on their rights. In a statement, it urged Washington to ensure that Korean citizens’ interests were not […]

US jobs market weakens in August as unemployment rises to 4.3%

The US jobs market showed fresh signs of weakness in August, adding to growing concerns about the health of the world’s largest economy. According to the Labor Department, employers created just 22,000 jobs last month, well below expectations, while the unemployment rate edged up from 4.2% to 4.3%. The figures marked the latest in a series of disappointing data releases. Earlier revisions revealed that hiring in May and June was far weaker than initially reported, with June actually recording a job loss — the first monthly decline since 2020. The slowdown underscores a broader cooling trend that began after the post-pandemic rebound. The data virtually guarantees that the Federal Reserve will cut interest rates at its upcoming meeting, investors said. “The warning bell that rang in the labour market a month ago just got louder,” noted Olu Sonola, head of […]

Zelensky to Press Slovak PM on Russian Oil Imports

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said he will raise the issue of Russian oil supplies to Europe during a meeting with Slovak Prime Minister Robert Fico on Friday. Fico, who has been openly critical of Zelensky and recently met Russian President Vladimir Putin in China, is expected to arrive in the western Ukrainian city of Uzhgorod later in the day. The European Union banned most Russian oil imports after Moscow’s invasion of Ukraine in 2022. However, Slovakia and Hungary received exemptions to allow time to secure alternative supplies. This exemption has fueled tensions with Kyiv, which has long opposed the Druzhba pipeline carrying Russian oil to both countries. “America wants to seriously cut Russia’s income from energy exports — and that is the right path,” Zelensky said in a video address to an economic forum in Italy. “We will also discuss […]

Putin Vows to Target Western Troops if Sent to Ukraine

Russian President Vladimir Putin has warned that any Western forces deployed to Ukraine would be considered “legitimate targets” for Russia’s military. His comments came Friday at an economic forum in Vladivostok, a day after Kyiv’s allies announced plans to send troops as part of a potential peace agreement. On Thursday, 26 countries led by France and Britain pledged to join a “reassurance force” on land, at sea, and in the air to monitor any eventual peace deal. The war, which began in February 2022, has already claimed tens of thousands of lives, displaced millions, and devastated much of Ukraine’s east and south. “If some troops appear there, especially now during the fighting, we proceed from the premise that they will be legitimate targets,” Putin said, insisting that foreign deployments would not foster long-term peace. He also blamed Ukraine’s growing military […]

Trump Renames Pentagon as ‘Department of War’

President Donald Trump has announced plans to rebrand the Department of Defense as the “Department of War,” a move the White House says is aimed at projecting a stronger image of American military power. According to a White House document released Thursday, the order authorizes use of the new label as a “secondary title” for official correspondence, public communications, ceremonial events, and other non-statutory documents. Defense officials may also be addressed with titles such as “Secretary of War.” The formal legal name of the Pentagon remains the Department of Defense, but Trump said the new label conveys “readiness and resolve.” He is expected to sign the executive order Friday afternoon during an Oval Office event. Trump, who has frequently criticized the Defense Department’s current title as being “too defensive,” argued the change revives a legacy tied to past American victories.“The […]

Israel Rejects Hamas Proposal for Gaza Hostage Deal and Ceasefire

Israel has dismissed a new statement from Hamas claiming the group is ready for a “comprehensive deal” to end the Gaza war and release all hostages. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s office said the announcement contained “nothing new” and reiterated that the war would only end if the remaining 48 hostages were freed, Hamas was disarmed, Gaza was fully demilitarized, Israel secured control, and a new civilian administration was put in place. Hamas, meanwhile, repeated its demand for a large-scale exchange of hostages for Palestinian prisoners, the withdrawal of Israeli forces, the reopening of border crossings, and the launch of reconstruction. It also said it supports the creation of a technocratic administration to govern Gaza after the war. The statement came hours after US President Donald Trump posted on social media urging Hamas to “IMMEDIATELY give back all 20 hostages” still […]

Western Allies Vow Troop Deployment to Ukraine After Ceasefire Deal

French President Emmanuel Macron announced that 26 Western allies have formally committed to deploying troops “by land, sea, or air” to Ukraine once a ceasefire deal is reached. The pledge followed a Paris summit of 35 countries dubbed the Coalition of the Willing. Macron accused Russia of deliberately stalling peace talks to gain more territory. Hopes for a Ukraine-Russia peace summit dimmed after Vladimir Putin met Donald Trump in Alaska last month. Trump has since spoken with Western allies and is expected to finalize US support soon, though he criticized EU states still purchasing Russian oil, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said. The EU aims to end Russian oil and gas imports by 2027, but Hungary and Slovakia remain among the bloc’s biggest buyers. While Washington has ruled out sending ground troops, Trump has hinted at possible air support, which could […]

Trump Ends Protection for 250,000 Venezuelan Migrants

The Trump administration has announced it will terminate Temporary Protected Status (TPS) for more than 256,000 Venezuelan migrants, opening the way for large-scale deportations. TPS was first granted under President Joe Biden in 2021 and expanded in 2023, allowing eligible Venezuelans to obtain work permits and protection from removal. A Department of Homeland Security (DHS) spokesperson said the decision was based on “public safety, national security, migration factors, immigration policy, economic considerations, and foreign policy.” The spokesperson added that TPS had created “a magnet effect” for irregular migration and undermined the Trump administration’s border security efforts. The protections will formally expire on September 10, but DHS clarified that the termination will take effect 60 days after its notice is published in the Federal Register. Pending applications — including 3,728 new requests and more than 102,000 renewals — will also be […]

China Rejects Trump, EU Claims of Anti-US, Anti-West Plot

China has dismissed allegations by former U.S. President Donald Trump and European Union diplomat Kaja Kallas that it is conspiring with Russia and North Korea to challenge the West. The accusations followed a large military parade in Beijing marking the 80th anniversary of the end of World War II, where Chinese President Xi Jinping was joined by Russian President Vladimir Putin and North Korean leader Kim Jong Un. In a Truth Social post, Trump wrote: “Give my warmest regards to Vladimir Putin, and Kim Jong Un, as you conspire against The United States of America.” Responding on Thursday, Chinese foreign ministry spokesperson Guo Jiakun said the presence of foreign leaders at the event was meant to honor history and promote peace. “It is to work together with peace-loving countries to remember history, cherish the martyrs, and create the future. China’s […]
