Trump’s Comments Reflect Nigeria’s Deeper Problems, Says Bishop Kukah

Catholic Bishop Matthew Hassan Kukah of Sokoto Diocese says recent remarks by former U.S. President Donald Trump on Nigeria point to the country’s ongoing internal problems, rather than being the cause of them. Speaking in Lagos at the 60th birthday celebration for journalist and former presidential aide Reuben Abati, Bishop Kukah addressed Trump’s October 31 statement. Trump had called Nigeria a “Country of Particular Concern” due to reports of attacks on Christians and warned of possible U.S. actions if this continued. Bishop Kukah emphasized that Trump’s comments should make Nigerian leaders reflect on the country’s foundational issues. He noted, “Trump is not our problem. He is only repeating what we have ignored. The real challenge lies within Nigeria.” He described Nigeria as a nation facing weak institutions, unstable values, and a lack of shared national vision. Kukah said, “If we […]

Tinubu rallies global allies after Trump threatens military action over Nigeria killings

President Bola Tinubu has said his government is engaging with international partners to address concerns raised by former U.S. President Donald Trump, who threatened military action against terror groups in Nigeria over alleged mass killings of Christians.

We will defeat terrorism and continue to secure our nation,” Tinubu said. The President’s remarks came days after Trump labelled Nigeria a “Country of Particular Concern,” alleging persecution of Christians. He also instructed U.S. officials to “prepare for possible action” in response. Government […]

Trump and Xi Agree to One-Year Trade Truce at APEC Summit in South Korea

United States President Donald Trump and Chinese President Xi Jinping have agreed to pause their escalating trade dispute, reaching a one-year truce during the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) summit in South Korea. The agreement marks the first face-to-face meeting between the two leaders since 2019 and aims to ease months of tension that have rattled global markets and disrupted international supply chains. While the truce temporarily halts the exchange of new tariffs, it does not reverse existing trade barriers or fully resolve deep-rooted disagreements between Washington and Beijing. Dennis Wilder, a professor at Georgetown University and former China specialist for the CIA and the White House National Security Council, told Al Jazeera that the outcome represents “a pause and a small rollback in the trade war.” “Both sides have not given up their trade weapons but have agreed to stop […]

Putin defies Trump with second nuclear weapons test in days

Russia has carried out a new test of a nuclear-capable underwater drone, President Vladimir Putin said on Wednesday, marking the country’s second nuclear weapons test within days despite warnings from US President Donald Trump. During a visit to a military hospital treating soldiers wounded in Ukraine, Putin said the test involved the “Poseidon” unmanned underwater vehicle, which is equipped with a nuclear power unit. He claimed the drone torpedo could travel faster than any submarine and was impossible to intercept. “There is no way to intercept this system,” Putin said, adding that Poseidon can reach any continent and dive deeper than existing underwater weapons. According to Russia’s state news agency TASS, the drone can operate at depths greater than one kilometre and travel at speeds of up to 70 knots while remaining undetectable. It can also carry a nuclear warhead […]

US pushes plan to disarm Hamas and rebuild Gaza

United States Vice President JD Vance has emphasized the difficult task ahead in disarming Hamas and rebuilding Gaza. His remarks came during a visit to Israel on Wednesday as Washington worked to reassure its ally about the next steps in a new US-backed ceasefire plan. Vance met with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on the second day of his trip, which supports the American plan to end the fighting, secure the release of hostages, and rebuild Gaza. “We have a tough mission — to disarm Hamas and rebuild Gaza to ensure peace and security for Israel and a better future for the people of Gaza,” Vance said. His visit began with the opening of the Civil-Military Coordination Centre in southwest Israel, where US and allied troops will cooperate with Israeli forces to monitor the ceasefire and manage aid deliveries to […]

Trump Imposes 100% Tariff on China, Threatens to Scrap Xi Summit

WASHINGTON, Oct 11 — U.S. President Donald Trump announced a new 100% tariff on Chinese goods and warned he may cancel his planned meeting with Chinese President Xi Jinping, escalating tensions between the world’s two largest economies. The decision, which Trump said takes effect on November 1, also includes export controls on all critical U.S. software. He said the measures respond to what he called China’s “extraordinarily aggressive” actions, including export restrictions on rare earth minerals. “It is impossible to believe that China would have taken such an action, but they have, and the rest is history,” Trump wrote on his Truth Social account. Financial markets reacted sharply to the announcement. The Nasdaq fell 3.6% and the S&P 500 dropped 2.7% as investors feared a renewed trade war. Currently, Chinese goods face 30% U.S. tariffs, while Beijing has imposed 10% […]

Trump Sends 300 National Guard Troops to Chicago as Tensions Rise

President Donald Trump has approved the deployment of 300 National Guard troops to Chicago, citing what he described as spiraling violence and chaos in the city. The decision came shortly after immigration authorities reported a confrontation with protesters that ended in gunfire. Officials said agents opened fire on an armed woman after demonstrators rammed law enforcement vehicles with their cars. Local and state leaders in Illinois swiftly condemned the move, accusing Trump of exploiting the situation for political gain. Governor JB Pritzker denounced the deployment as “an attempt to manufacture a crisis.” Meanwhile, a separate legal battle unfolded in Oregon, where a federal judge temporarily blocked the Trump administration from sending 200 federal troops to Portland. Judge Karin Immergut said the president’s justification for the deployment was “untethered to the facts” and violated constitutional limits. Immergut ruled that the federal […]

Trump to Press Netanyahu on Gaza Peace Deal at White House

US President Donald Trump will meet Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu at the White House on Monday for talks focused on finalizing a proposed peace plan for Gaza. Trump has claimed that a deal to end the nearly two-year conflict—free hostages, and disarm Hamas—is close to completion following his discussions with Arab leaders last week. On Sunday, he posted on Despite Trump’s optimism, Netanyahu has shown little sign of compromise. In a recent UN address, he pledged to “finish the job” against Hamas and rejected the establishment of a Palestinian state, even as Western nations push for one. He has also pressed ahead with Israel’s military campaign in Gaza City, displacing hundreds of thousands. This will be Netanyahu’s fourth White House visit since Trump returned to office in January. While Trump has long been a close ally, he has recently […]

Man charged with shining laser pointer at Trump’s Marine One helicopter

US authorities have charged a man for pointing a laser pointer at Marine One, the presidential helicopter, while it departed the White House with former President Donald Trump aboard. According to a court filing on Monday, Jacob Samuel Winkler, 33, was spotted by a Secret Service officer shining a red laser beam from the sidewalk outside the White House grounds as Marine One lifted off on Saturday. Winkler was immediately detained and charged with aiming a laser pointer at an aircraft — a federal felony punishable by up to five years in prison. The affidavit noted that his actions posed a significant risk of flash blindness and pilot disorientation, particularly during low-altitude flight in the busy Washington, D.C. airspace near other helicopters and landmarks such as the Washington Monument. “This placed Marine One at risk of an airborne collision,” the […]

Trump and Putin Align on Europe as Ukraine Peace Talks Stall

Donald Trump and Vladimir Putin appear to be finding common ground again, with both leaders turning their focus toward Europe amid stalled diplomatic efforts to end the war in Ukraine. Their positions converge just three weeks after their high-profile but largely unproductive summit in Alaska. On Thursday, Trump urged European leaders to take on more responsibility in handling the Ukraine crisis. Ironically, most of the ongoing diplomatic movement has come from Europe itself, as transatlantic allies work to design long-term security guarantees for Ukraine in the event of a peace agreement. The US president’s latest comments follow his announcement that he intends to speak with Putin again soon to determine “what we’re going to be doing.” Trump avoided confirming whether the US would impose severe direct sanctions on Russia if Moscow continues to stall peace talks, saying only: “Whatever his […]
