Trump to feature his picture in new US passports

The United States will begin issuing a limited number of new passports that include a picture of President Donald Trump inside the booklet, officials have confirmed.

U.S. Lawmakers Question Nigeria’s Will, Capacity to Curb Violence

U.S. lawmakers have sharply questioned Nigeria’s ability and willingness to protect Christian communities and other victims of extremist violence amid worsening insecurity. At a heated congressional hearing, legislators pressed for accountability and urgent action, reviewing Nigeria’s status as a Country of Particular Concern (CPC). Congressman Bill Huizenga accused President Tinubu’s government of “sitting back” as insecurity rose. Lawmakers and State Department officials cited mass killings, targeted attacks by radical groups, and criticized Abuja for not doing enough or downplaying the crisis. Concerns were raised about a halted youth peacebuilding program and calls for rethinking U.S. aid to Nigeria. Recommendations included accountability for leaders, deeper scrutiny, and assistance focused on technical support and long-term reforms. Meanwhile, Nigerian officials defended the country’s record, insisting there is no religious intolerance. Coalition groups urged domestic reforms, investigating religious freedom violations, and called for interventions […]

US Revokes Visas of Six Foreigners Over Posts on Charlie Kirk’s Killing

The United States Department of State has revoked the visas of six foreign nationals who made social media posts celebrating or justifying the assassination of conservative activist Charlie Kirk. In a statement released on X Tuesday evening, the Department said, “The United States has no obligation to host foreigners who wish death on Americans.” The announcement included screenshots of posts from individuals in South Africa, Mexico, Brazil, Paraguay, Germany, and Argentina. All six have now been declared “no longer welcome in the US.” According to the State Department, one Argentine user wrote that Kirk “devoted his life to spreading racist and misogynistic rhetoric” and “deserves to burn in hell.” Similar posts from others expressed support for Kirk’s death, calling him a racist and a Nazi sympathizer. Officials said the action reflects the administration’s firm stance on protecting U.S. citizens and […]
