US President handed £300B NATO invoice to German chancellor

    President Trump gave German Chancellor Angela Merkel a staff-created bill for NATO defenses estimated at 300 billion, The Times of London reported on Sunday. Trump reportedly handed Merkel the invoice during her trip to Washington, D.C. earlier this month. The concept behind putting out such demands is to intimidate the other side, but the chancellor took it calmly and will not respond to such provocations, a German minister told the newspaper. Merkel ignored the provocation, of the bill, the Times reported. The White House disputed the reports on Sunday afternoon and told The Hill the story is false. Trump during his presidential campaign railed against the NATO alliance and has called for member countries to increase defense spending to support the organization. The Inde...

Donald Trump’s presidency could be finished by Russia investigations: former NSA analyst says

    Donald Trump could be forced to leave office over the investigations into his administration’s links with Russia, a former national National Security Agency (NSA) analyst has warned. John Schindler, a security expert and former counterintelligence officer, said that if the US President was to face an indictment over allegations his campaign team colluded with Russia to disrupt the presidential election, it could put an end to his presidency.

He could be removed from office for that, whether he wants to be or not. Mr Schindler said that with the FBI investigation, actions by Congress and a possible ind...

Woman photographed in hijab on Westminster Bridge responds to online abuse

Donald Trump suffers bruising defeat over healthcare bill after Republican support to pass it

    President Donald Trump has suffered a bitter defeat as one of his cornerstone campaign pledges, to repeal and replace Obamacare, failed to pass in Congress. Mr Trump instructed that a vote on the "Trumpcare" bill be "pulled" moments before it was due to take place, as support among Republican congressmen evaporated. It was a huge setback for the president and instilled doubts about his ability to enact his wider agenda, not only on healthcare but other major promises like tax reform and infrastructure investment. Speaking in the Oval Office Mr Trump squarely blamed Democrats for unanimously opposing the bill, and said Obamacare would soon explode. He said: Now the Democrats own Obamacare 100 per cent. They own it. It's exploding now and it's going to be a very bad year. Th...
