Former U.S. President Donald Trump has said that six Democratic lawmakers who appeared in a video urging military personnel not to obey illegal orders should be jailed. The video, released Friday, featured Senators and Representatives Mark Kelly, Elissa Slotkin, Jason Crow, Chris Deluzio, Chrissy Houlahan, and Maggie Goodlander. Trump labeled their message as 'high treason' and claimed there could be no other interpretation of their words. Democrats condemned Trump’s remarks as dangerous and hateful threats against lawmakers who have served in the military or intelligence services. The controversy follows Trump’s recent orders to deploy the National Guard in several U.S. cities, which some local authorities opposed, and his authorization of controversial maritime operations that reportedly killed over 80 people. Trump has previously made similar comments suggesting death penalties for acts he considers treasonous, drawing criticism from political opponents and legal experts.

Newly elected leftist New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani has reaffirmed his view that U.S. President Donald Trump is a fascist, despite describing their recent White House meeting as cordial and productive. In an interview with NBC News on November 23, Mamdani said his opinion of Trump remains unchanged, even after their discussion focused on cooperation for New York’s future. The two leaders met on November 21, setting aside months of mutual criticism to pledge collaboration on key city issues such as housing costs, childcare, market prices, and utilities. Trump, who has previously criticized Mamdani, publicly praised the mayor during the meeting and expressed support for his leadership. He said the federal government would assist in building a stronger and safer New York. Mamdani emphasized that while the meeting was constructive, his political assessment of Trump’s ideology remains firm.

Former U.S. President Donald Trump labeled Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky as 'ungrateful' in a post on his social media platform Truth Social on November 23. Without naming Zelensky directly, Trump criticized Ukraine’s leadership for showing no appreciation toward U.S. efforts to end the Russia-Ukraine war. He reiterated that he inherited a conflict that should never have started and described it as a 'losing war' for all, especially for the millions who died unnecessarily. Trump has proposed a 28-point peace plan requiring Ukraine to cede territories, including those still under its control, and to grant amnesty for wartime crimes. He set a November 27 deadline for Ukraine to accept the plan. In response, Zelensky released a video message acknowledging Ukraine’s dire situation, saying the country faces a choice between losing its honor or losing a friend like the United States. The exchange underscores deepening tensions between Kyiv and Washington over the future of the war.

Former US President Donald Trump has claimed that he prevented five out of eight potential wars by threatening to impose tariffs on other countries. Posting on his social media platform Truth Social, Trump said that the United States has earned 'trillions and trillions of dollars' through tariffs and foreign investments, which he described as beneficial to the American economy. He also took aim at his successor, Joe Biden, asserting that inflation is now nearly nonexistent compared to what he called the 'worst in US history' under Biden’s leadership. Trump further boasted that the stock market reached record highs 48 times in just nine months. He added that figures like Leonard Leo, the Koch network, and foreign nations that once used tariffs to harm the US can no longer damage the country. His remarks come as part of his continued effort to highlight his economic and foreign policy record ahead of the upcoming election season.

U.S. President Donald Trump has stated that the proposed peace plan for ending the Russia-Ukraine war is not a final offer. His remarks came after concerns from Kyiv’s allies over Washington’s draft peace proposal, reportedly prepared last week by U.S. and Russian officials without Ukraine or its European partners. According to Axios, U.S. Army Secretary Daniel Driscoll delivered the written plan to Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky on November 20, with a one-week deadline for Kyiv’s response. Trump told Fox News Radio that Ukraine has until November 27 to decide, calling it a reasonable timeframe. However, when asked at the White House whether it was a final proposal, he clarified that it was not. Meanwhile, leaders from Europe, Canada, and Japan said the U.S.-Russia plan could serve as a basis for further talks but needs significant revisions. Security officials from the U.S., U.K., France, Germany, and Ukraine are set to meet in Geneva, as Russian missile and drone attacks continue across southern and eastern Ukraine.

Google has taken a major step in artificial intelligence by integrating its newly launched Gemini 3 model directly into its search service. Announced by Alphabet in San Francisco on November 22, this marks the first time a new Gemini version has been activated on the same day as its release. CEO Sundar Pichai described Gemini 3 as Google’s most advanced and intelligent model to date, offering users immediate benefits. The company claims Gemini 3 leads international AI benchmarks and outperforms several major tech rivals. Alongside the model, Google introduced the Gemini Agent, capable of handling complex tasks such as drafting job applications, organizing emails, planning trips, and analyzing personal data for decision-making. The Gemini app now displays responses in a more interactive, visually rich format. Analysts suggest this move brings Google closer to its vision of a universal AI assistant and signals a shift in AI competition toward real-world revenue generation, particularly through Google’s expanding cloud and search services.

The United States has reiterated that it will not participate in the upcoming G20 summit in South Africa, citing policy differences and strained diplomatic relations. White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt confirmed that Washington will not join any formal discussions at the event, contradicting South African President Cyril Ramaphosa’s earlier claim that the US had changed its stance. The US Embassy in Pretoria stated that South Africa’s G20 priorities conflict with American policies, preventing agreement on joint documents. Although the US will send its ambassador to a ceremonial handover, it will not engage in policy talks. The Trump administration’s decision marks a broader retreat from global forums, including the ongoing COP-30 climate summit in Brazil. Tensions between Washington and Pretoria have escalated following Trump’s remarks about white farmers in South Africa and subsequent trade tariffs. Despite the boycott, American corporate interests remain active, with major US companies attending the B20 business summit in Johannesburg.

US President Donald Trump met with New York City’s newly elected mayor, Zohran Mamdani, at the White House on Friday, marking their first face-to-face encounter after months of political hostility. Despite previous clashes—where Trump had threatened Mamdani with deportation and labeled him a ‘communist,’ while Mamdani accused Trump of acting like a dictator—the meeting ended on a conciliatory note. Trump told reporters that he would be happy to see Mamdani succeed and promised federal support for his initiatives. He also noted that many of Mamdani’s ideas align with his own. Mamdani, who will assume office on January 1, expressed eagerness to work with the president to make New York more affordable and livable. Both leaders emphasized cooperation on urban development, public services, and improving residents’ quality of life, signaling a surprising thaw in their previously strained relationship.

Former U.S. President Donald Trump has presented a 28-point proposal aimed at ending the ongoing Russia–Ukraine war. The plan emphasizes Ukraine’s sovereignty, a non-aggression pact among Russia, Ukraine, and Europe, and a freeze on NATO expansion. It proposes U.S.-mediated Russia–NATO dialogue to reduce tensions, security guarantees for Ukraine, and restrictions on its military size. Ukraine would pledge not to join NATO, while NATO would commit not to offer membership. The plan includes recognition of Crimea, Luhansk, and Donetsk as Russian territories, gradual lifting of sanctions, and reintegration of Russia into the global economy, including a return to the G8. It also outlines joint U.S.–Russia reconstruction projects, nuclear arms control extensions, and humanitarian exchanges. A 100-day Ukrainian election, general amnesty, and a Trump-led ‘Peace Council’ to oversee implementation are also proposed. The plan has sparked global debate over its feasibility and fairness.

U.S. President Donald Trump is scheduled to meet newly elected New York City Mayor Zohra Mamdani at the White House on Friday, marking their first meeting since Mamdani’s election victory. The discussion is expected to focus on public safety, cost of living, and economic security, according to Mamdani. The meeting comes after a contentious election campaign during which both leaders exchanged sharp criticisms. Mamdani, 34, recently defeated former Governor Andrew Cuomo by nine points, emerging as a new national political figure. Trump referred to Mamdani as a 'communist mayor' in a statement confirming the meeting. Mamdani emphasized that he is willing to collaborate with the president on issues beneficial to New Yorkers but will oppose any agenda that harms the city. His spokesperson described the meeting as a routine process for incoming administrations to engage with the president.

Federal immigration enforcement operations have intensified in New York City as the Trump administration deploys additional ICE agents ahead of incoming Mayor Zohran Mamdani’s January 1 swearing-in. Former border policy chief Tom Homan confirmed that agents are already conducting raids and warned that the administration will take a hard stance against the city’s sanctuary policies. The move follows the city council’s cancellation of an agreement granting ICE access to Rikers Island jail. Meanwhile, reports suggest the administration is considering opening a new immigrant detention center at a Coast Guard facility on Staten Island. New York Governor Kathy Hochul criticized the federal actions, warning they could harm the city’s economy and stability. Mamdani, a Democratic Socialist, has pledged $165 million in legal aid for immigrants and initiated talks with the White House to address housing and federal assistance issues. ICE has also ramped up operations in North Carolina, where over 200 arrests were made last weekend, as nationwide deportations surpass 550,000 this year.

President Donald Trump has signed a bipartisan bill directing the U.S. Department of Justice to release documents from its investigation into convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein within 30 days. The move marks a reversal from Trump’s earlier opposition, as he had warned that disclosing internal records could set a harmful precedent for the presidency. The legislation, which passed both chambers of Congress with broad support, allows the Justice Department to withhold sensitive information about victims and any material that could compromise ongoing investigations. Trump framed the decision as a step toward exposing alleged Democratic ties to Epstein, accusing his political rivals of using the scandal to distract from his administration’s achievements. Attorney General Pam Bondi confirmed that the department will comply with the law while prioritizing transparency. The release is expected to reignite public scrutiny of Epstein’s connections with powerful figures, amid widespread suspicion that the government has concealed key details about his activities and death in custody in 2019.

U.S. President Donald Trump verbally attacked ABC News journalist Mary Bruce on Tuesday after she questioned Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman about the 2018 killing of Washington Post columnist Jamal Khashoggi. Trump criticized Bruce for making their guest 'uncomfortable' and called her question 'terrible' and 'arrogant.' He further disparaged both Bruce and ABC News, suggesting the network’s broadcast license should be revoked. Trump downplayed Khashoggi’s murder, saying such incidents 'sometimes happen,' while the crown prince has denied involvement. The National Press Club condemned Trump’s remarks, calling them a threat to press freedom. Trump has repeatedly clashed with journalists, often using harsh or sexist language, and recently threatened ABC’s license again after a defamation settlement. The confrontation occurred during the crown prince’s first U.S. visit since the Khashoggi killing, which drew global outrage.
