Harvard to Run ‘Trade Schools’ Under $500m Settlement, Trump Says

President Donald Trump announced Tuesday that his administration is nearing a $500 million settlement with Harvard University, under which the Ivy League school would be required to operate trade schools across the United States. Speaking at the White House, Trump framed the move as both a financial penalty and a workforce development strategy. “They’d be paying about $500 million and they’ll be operating trade schools,” Trump said. “They’re going to be teaching people how to do AI and lots of other things — engines, lots of things. It’s a big investment in trade school done by very smart people, and then their sins are forgiven.” Harvard has not yet responded to Trump’s remarks. The proposal is the latest development in Trump’s unprecedented pressure campaign on elite universities, particularly Harvard, which the administration has accused of failing to protect Jewish students […]

US Judge Blocks Trump Administration’s Plan to Lay Off 500 VOA Employees

A US federal judge has temporarily halted the Trump administration’s plan to lay off more than 500 employees of Voice of America (VOA), following legal challenges over the move’s legality. The ruling, issued Monday by US District Judge Royce Lamberth, suspended the layoffs that were set to take effect on September 30, 2025. The terminations were spearheaded by Kari Lake, senior advisor to the US Agency for Global Media (USAGM), who described the cuts as a “long-overdue effort to dismantle a bloated, unaccountable bureaucracy.” However, Judge Lamberth said the Reduction in Force plan was “arbitrary and capricious and not in accordance with law,” pointing out that the defendants failed to comply with an earlier injunction issued in April. “The Court no longer harbors any doubt that defendants lack a plan to comply with the preliminary injunction, and instead have been […]

Trump Targets More Opponents After ‘Dirty Cop’ Comey Indictment

US President Donald Trump on Friday called for more of his political rivals to face prosecution as he celebrated the indictment of former FBI director James Comey, whom he branded a “dirty cop.” The Republican leader’s remarks mark an intensification of his campaign of political retribution — an approach that breaks with decades of US precedent, where presidents avoided interfering with Justice Department cases. “Frankly I hope there are others,” Trump told reporters at the White House when asked about Comey’s indictment, describing his opponents as “corrupt, radical-left Democrats.” He rejected suggestions that his drive was fueled by vengeance. “It’s not revenge. It’s about the fact that you can’t let this go on.” Comey was charged Thursday with making false statements and obstruction of justice linked to his handling of the FBI’s 2016 probe into alleged collusion between Trump’s campaign […]

Trump: I won’t allow Israel to annex West Bank

US President Donald Trump said on Thursday that he would not permit Israel to annex the West Bank, pushing back against threats from Israeli cabinet members to block the possibility of a two-state solution. “I will not allow Israel to annex the West Bank,” Trump told reporters in the Oval Office. “No, I will not allow it. It’s not going to happen.” The president’s remarks followed questions on whether he had given such assurances to Arab leaders during meetings at the United Nations this week. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has repeatedly opposed the creation of a Palestinian state, while far-right members of his cabinet have suggested annexing the West Bank in response to recent moves by Western nations to formally recognize Palestine. When asked if he had warned Netanyahu directly, Trump replied:“Yeah, but I’m not going to allow it. […]

White House orders US agencies to prepare for mass sack ahead of possible shutdown

The White House has directed federal agencies to prepare for large-scale staff cuts if the US government shuts down next week, according to a memo from the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) obtained by Politico. The document, circulated on Wednesday, indicated that President Donald Trump’s administration may go beyond the usual temporary furloughs seen in previous shutdowns. Instead, agencies were instructed to draw up staff reduction plans and notify employees in programs not legally mandated to continue. “Programs that did not benefit from an infusion of mandatory appropriations will bear the brunt of a shutdown,” the memo said. The warning comes as the Trump administration clashes with congressional Democrats over funding ahead of a looming Sept. 30 fiscal deadline. Last week, Senate Democrats rejected a stopgap funding bill hurriedly passed by the Republican-controlled House of Representatives. In response, Trump […]

One dead, two injured in Dallas ICE facility shooting

A deadly shooting occurred Wednesday at a US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) detention facility in Dallas, Texas, leaving one person dead and two others injured, according to officials. The suspected gunman, positioned on the roof of a nearby building, opened fire on the facility before dying from a self-inflicted gunshot wound, Dallas police confirmed in a post on X (formerly Twitter). Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem condemned the attack, saying:“While we don’t know the motive yet, we know that our ICE law enforcement is facing unprecedented violence. It must stop.” Local broadcaster Fox4 reported that the victims were detainees in ICE custody. No ICE officers were injured. ICE deputy director Madison Sheahan told Fox News:“We’ve seen a lot of violence at ICE facilities, and this is not the first time this year. These attacks must stop.” Vice President JD […]

NEFGAD faults BPP’s defence of US fiscal transparency report

The Network for Public Procurement Advocacy and Development (NEFGAD) has faulted the Bureau of Public Procurement (BPP) over what it described as a “weak and deceptive” response to the 2025 U.S. Fiscal Transparency Report, which indicted Nigeria for failing to disclose procurement contract details. The U.S. Department of State, in its latest review, acknowledged Nigeria’s progress in publishing budget documents and debt obligations but flagged persistent opacity around public procurement, warning that it undermines accountability and weakens governance. The report, which assessed 139 countries and the Palestinian Authority, found that 71 governments met minimum fiscal transparency requirements, while 69 did not. Nigeria was listed among 32 African countries still lagging, alongside Egypt, Algeria, Cameroon, Liberia, Sierra Leone, Chad, Angola, Zimbabwe, Zambia, Tanzania, and others. Specifically, the report faulted the Office of the Auditor-General of the Federation for failing to publish […]

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 Urges DOJ to Target Rivals, Fires Prosecutor

Former U.S. President Donald Trump has once again pressured the Justice Department to take action against his political opponents, drawing criticism for undermining the agency’s independence. In a Saturday social media post, Trump called out Attorney General Pam Bondi, demanding investigations into California Senator Adam Schiff and New York Attorney General Letitia James, both Democrats. He accused them of mortgage fraud, echoing claims from one of his allies, Bill Pulte, Director of the Federal Housing Finance Agency. Trump criticized the lack of progress, saying, “We can’t delay any longer, it’s killing our reputation and credibility.” A day earlier, Trump dismissed Erik Siebert, U.S. attorney for the Eastern District of Virginia, who had overseen the probe into James. Siebert reportedly found insufficient evidence to move forward. Trump defended the firing, insisting there was a strong case against James. Late Saturday, Trump […]

Trump Administration Slaps Harvard With New Federal Funding Limits

The Trump administration has imposed fresh restrictions on Harvard University’s access to federal funds, intensifying its clash with one of America’s most prestigious institutions. In a statement Friday, the Department of Education announced that Harvard has been placed under “heightened cash monitoring (HCM) status” due to what it called “growing concerns regarding the university’s financial position.” The shift means Harvard must first disburse student financial aid from its own accounts before later seeking reimbursement from Washington. “Students will continue to have access to federal funding, but Harvard will be required to cover the initial disbursements as a guardrail to ensure Harvard is spending taxpayer funds responsibly,” the department said. Federal officials also ordered Harvard to post an irrevocable $36 million letter of credit to cover potential liabilities. Background to the crackdown The move is the latest escalation in the Trump […]
