Elon Musk has accused former US President Donald Trump of being listed in the still-sealed Epstein files, suggesting this is why some documents remain confidential. After supporting Trump’s presidency and leading the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), Musk resigned in May 2025 amid criticism. Since then, he has openly criticized Trump’s policies and now alleges Trump’s connection to Jeffrey Epstein is the true reason key Epstein files have not been released to the public.

Vivian Wilson, Elon Musk’s transgender daughter, recently mocked the ongoing conflict between Musk and former U.S. President Donald Trump. In an Instagram video, she laughed off the dispute and expressed satisfaction at the “truth being revealed.” Vivian, who changed her name and cut ties with Musk in 2020, highlighted the personal nature of the feud. The tension escalated after Musk criticized Trump’s budget bill, prompting Trump to call Musk “crazy.” Vivian’s remarks have reignited social media discussions amid the political clash.

He conducted a poll on social media, receiving strong support for the idea. The proposed party, possibly named the "America Party," could challenge the dominance of Republicans and Democrats. However, experts warn that creating a new party is legally complex and requires significant organization and funding. Musk’s move also signals growing tensions with former ally Donald Trump and his interest in reshaping the political landscape.

US President Donald Trump has announced that trade delegations from the United States and China will meet in London on June 9 to discuss resolving their ongoing trade war. The announcement follows a 90-minute phone call between Trump and Chinese President Xi Jinping, which Trump described as productive.

Russia carried out intense drone and missile attacks on several Ukrainian cities, including Kyiv, early Friday, killing six and injuring at least 80. The strikes are believed to be in retaliation for Ukraine's recent drone attacks on Russian bomber aircraft. Civilian areas, including apartment buildings and infrastructure, were heavily damaged. Ukrainian President Zelensky confirmed emergency workers were among the dead. Ukraine's air force reported over 400 drones and 45 missiles launched, making it one of the largest single assaults of the war.

On June 4, 2025, President Donald Trump issued a proclamation banning nationals from 12 countries from entering the United States, citing national security risks and insufficient vetting processes. The countries facing full restrictions are Afghanistan, Myanmar (Burma), Chad, Republic of the Congo, Equatorial Guinea, Eritrea, Haiti, Iran, Libya, Somalia, Sudan, and Yemen. Partial entry restrictions have also been imposed on Burundi, Cuba, Laos, Sierra Leone, Togo, Turkmenistan, and Venezuela. The ban takes effect on June 9 at 12:01 a.m. EDT and exempts lawful permanent residents, valid visa holders, and certain international sports teams. Trump linked the decision to a recent attack in Boulder, Colorado, by an Egyptian national, although Egypt was excluded from the list. The measure mirrors the controversial 2017 travel ban, which was upheld by the Supreme Court in 2018. The new policy has provoked strong international backlash, with several affected countries, including Venezuela, denouncing the move.

The Trump administration has imposed sanctions on four ICC judges who authorized investigations into alleged war crimes by the US military in Afghanistan and Israel’s actions in Gaza.

This action reflects the US’s strong support for Israel and raises concerns about the future impartiality of international justice.

Trump threatened to cancel government contracts and subsidies to Musk’s companies, including SpaceX, while Musk called for Trump’s impeachment and hinted at releasing damaging information.
