Melania Trump threatens to sue Hunter Biden for $1bn over Epstein claim
WASHINGTON — First Lady Melania Trump has threatened to sue Hunter Biden for more than $1bn after he claimed she was introduced to her husband by sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.Lawyers acting on behalf of the first lady, who married US President Donald Trump in 2005, described the claim as "false, disparaging, defamatory and inflammatory".Biden, son of former US President Joe Biden, made the comments during an interview earlier this month, in which he strongly criticised the president's former ties to Epstein.Donald Trump was a friend of Epstein, but has said the pair fell out in the early 2000s because the financier had poached employees who worked at the spa in Trump's Florida golf club.A letter from the first lady's lawyers and addressed to an attorney for Hunter...

Peru president issues amnesty for hundreds accused of atrocities
LIMA — Peru's president has signed a controversial new law pardoning soldiers, police and civilian militias on trial for atrocities during the country's two-decade armed conflict against Maoist rebels.Dina Boluarte enacted the measure that was passed by Congress in July, despite an order from the Inter-American Court of Human Rights to suspend it pending a review of its impact on victims.The law will benefit hundreds of members of the armed forces, police and self-defence committees accused of crimes committed between 1980 and 2000.It will also mandate the release of those over 70 serving sentences for such offences.During the conflict, the Shining Path and Tupac Amaru rebel groups waged insurgencies in which an estimated 70,000 people were killed and more than 20,000...

US officials race to prepare for historic Trump-Putin summit
WASHINGTON — American officials scrambling this weekend to identify and lock down a venue for Friday’s summit between President Donald Trump and his Russian counterpart quickly discovered a major snag: summertime is peak tourist season in Alaska, and options both available and equipped to host the two world leaders were severely limited.When word reached certain prominent Alaskans that Trump and Putin were coming, a few began reaching out to the president’s allies with a proposition: could their home be an option? It’s unclear if those offers ever reached White House officials, who were calling sites in Juneau, the state capital, along with Anchorage and Fairbanks.Organizers of the summit soon came to believe the only city in the massive state with viable options for the summit...

National Guard troops appear in Washington DC as mayor rejects 'authoritarian push'
WASHINGTON — US National Guard troops have begun appearing on the streets of Washington DC, a day after President Donald Trump deployed the troops to the city and took control of its police force as he argued violent crime was out of control.Armoured vehicles were spotted at urban centres and tourist sites around the US capital on Tuesday evening.Officials have said that 800 National Guard troops are expected to be deployed, as well as 500 federal law enforcement agents.Washington DC Mayor Muriel Bowser, a Democrat, who has denied crime is out of control in her city, described the troop deployment as an "authoritarian push".Trump, a Republican, has also threatened similar deployments against New York and Chicago, two other cities controlled by Democrats.The camouflaged troops...

Trump demands homeless people 'immediately' move out of Washington
WASHINGTON — US President Donald Trump has said homeless people must "move out" of Washington DC as he vowed to tackle crime in the city, but the mayor pushed back against the White House likening the capital to Baghdad."We will give you places to stay, but FAR from the Capital," he posted on Sunday. The Republican president also trailed a news conference for Monday about his plan to make the city "safer and more beautiful than it ever was before".Mayor Muriel Bowser, a Democrat, said: "We are not experiencing a crime spike."Trump signed an order last month making it easier to arrest homeless people, and he last week ordered federal law enforcement into the streets of Washington DC."The Homeless have to move out, IMMEDIATELY," Trump wrote...

Adidas designer sorry for shoes 'appropriated' from Mexico
WASHINGTON — US fashion designer Willy Chavarria has apologized after a shoe he created in collaboration with Adidas Originals was criticized for "cultural appropriation".The Oaxaca Slip-On was inspired by traditional leather sandals known as huaraches made by Indigenous artisans in Mexico.The Mexican president was among those who spoke out against the footwear, which was reportedly made in China without consultation or credit to the communities who originated the design.Chavarria said in a statement sent to the BBC: "I am deeply sorry that the shoe was appropriated in this design and not developed in direct and meaningful partnership with the Oaxacan community."Cultural appropriation is defined as "the unacknowledged or inappropriate adoption of the customs,...

As Trump’s deadline for Russia comes due, White House preps for possible summit with Putin
WASHINGTON — President Donald Trump’s deadline for Russia to end its war in Ukraine or suffer severe economic punishment expires Friday, but it’s unclear how he plans to proceed amid new efforts toward a summit with Vladimir Putin and delicate trade negotiations with China.Trump promised earlier this week to apply new sanctions on Russia even as he questioned how effective they would be. The White House said Wednesday he still intended to slap “secondary sanctions” on countries that continue to purchase Russian energy.But by Thursday — after he initiated preparations to try and meet Putin face-to-face — he was less committal.“It’s going to be up to him,” Trump said, referring to Putin, when asked whether his deadline still stands and the new measures would take hold.The...

US federal judge blocks Trump's birthright order nationwide
WASHINGTON — A federal judge in Maryland ruled that US President Donald Trump cannot withhold citizenship from people born to people in the United States illegally or temporarily, issuing the fourth court decision blocking Trump’s birthright citizenship order since a key Supreme Court ruling in June.US District Judge Deborah Boardman’s preliminary injunction was expected after she said last month that she would issue such an order if an appeals court returned the case to her. The 4th US Circuit Court of Appeals sent the case back to her late in July.Since June, two other district courts, in addition to an appellate panel of judges, have also blocked Trump’s birthright ban nationwide, which he passed on his first day in office through an executive order.Trump’s executive order...

Trump raises bounty for the arrest of Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro 
WASHINGTON — The Trump administration has doubled its reward for the arrest of Venezuela’s President Nicolás Maduro from $25 million (€21.4 million) to $50 million (€42.9 million), accusing him of being one of the world’s largest narco-traffickers and working with cartels to flood the US with fentanyl-laced cocaine.“Under President Trump’s leadership, Maduro will not escape justice and he will be held accountable for his despicable crimes,” said Attorney General Pam Bondi on Thursday in a video announcing the reward.Maduro was indicted in a federal court in Manhattan in 2020, during the first Trump presidency, along with several of his close allies. They were charged with charges of narco-terrorism and conspiracy to import cocaine into the United States.The former Trump...

Trump's new tariffs take effect in trade war escalation
WASHINGTON — US President Donald Trump's sweeping new tariffs on countries around the world have come into effect in an escalation of his trade war."IT'S MIDNIGHT!!! BILLIONS OF DOLLARS IN TARIFFS ARE NOW FLOWING INTO THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA!," Trump said on social media minutes before the midnight deadline in Washington, DC.Earlier, the president hit India with a 50% tariff, which will take effect on 27 August unless it stops buying Russian oil.Trump also threatened a 100% tariff on foreign-made computer chips as he pushes tech firms to invest in the US. It came as Apple announced a new $100bn (£75bn) US investment after coming under pressure from the White House to move more production to America.Last week, the Trump administration announced a revised list of...
